Catchin' On!

...In more ways that one. Rustmeister alerts me to yet another righteous shooting.

North Houston resident disarms, kills burglar

Homicide detectives are still investigating an overnight shooting in which a resident of a north Houston apartment said he disarmed a burglar and killed him with his own gun.

The shooting occurred about 10 a.m. [ed.: I assume they mean PM if it's an overnight shooting...] Thursday at the Worthington Apartments at 1350 Greens Parkway, KHOU Channel 11 reported. Police said two residents reported that they came home and found that two men had broken into their apartment.

One of the intruders had a gun, which was wrestled away from him during a struggle with the residents, police said. The resident fired, killing one of the burglars, while the other ran away, police were told.
Like Rusty says, the antis always tell us not to use a gun because it'll be taken away and used against us...

Here's to hope that the courts down there won't charge the home owner with anything. If this happened here in MA I could hear the screams "you took his gun so he was no longer a threat, you can't shoot him!"

Probably won't happen here, but I guess it could. Texas has instituted a version of the Castle Doctrine, a phenomena which is sweeping the country. Therefore the property owner is very likely protected by law. See http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/stories/032807dntexcastle.241e482.html.

I may be a godless pinko in other ways, but if a bad guy comes on my property with intent to rape or rob, they’ll bury what’s left of him in a small box.
