Self-defense cited in Poteet slaying
Atascosa County authorities don’t anticipate filing criminal charges against a business owner who shot and killed a 25-year-old man Wednesday night during a failed robbery attempt.
...
Soward said the robber with the shotgun, later identified as Carlos Valero, turned to aim at Horn, but that the business owner fired first, striking him in the head and killing him instantly.
As it should be.
A wise man once opined, "When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk". Mr. Horn apparently isn't big on conversation with armed goblins, preferring to let Mssrs Smith & Wesson do the talking for him. There's something be said for speaking softly, but carrying a big (boom)stick...
Not to mention being a damned good shot.
Good guys 1, bad guys 0.
Dead Goblin Count: 10.
That is all.
This heartwarming tale of dead goblins was brought to my attention by the lovely Sabra in e-mail. Thanks Sabra!

Some day we'll have to have the Northeast Blogger Trivial Pursuit Meet.
I *LOVE* that idea.
But we've just *GOT* to have AD in the mix. I've got to beat him at *SOMETHING*...
(and Lord knows it ain't gonna be shooting...)
