The DGC Never Rests...

Bob S. was kind enough to send us the next addition to the count:

Wounded Homeowner Kills Intruder, Sheriff Says

PARKER COUNTY, Texas - A Parker County homeowner was injured early this morning after exchanging gunfire with an intruder, who later died, Sheriff Larry Fowler said.

...
According to Fowler, the shootout happened when the unidentified homeowner woke to his dogs barking, discovered that the back door open and then found a burglar inside the home.
Dogs. Effective early warning system. Guns. Effective goblin deterrent. That's your MArooned safety tip for Thanksgiving Day. Now, granted, once again the story is short on specifics, so it's hard to speculate exactly what happened, but the incontrovertible fact is that the goblin was armed and prepared to kill the homeowner. Perhaps the homeowner could have given the goblin what he wanted and gotten out of it with no injury - or he might have been shot dead in his bed as he cowered.

That's the thing - someone breaks into your house, you have absolutely no idea if they just want to grab the nearest expensive item and get out, or worse. They might be like the subhuman pieces of filth that murdered Kimberly Cates and hacked up her daughter - broke into the house with the express purpose of killing whoever was inside just so they'd know what it felt like to kill someone. There is no way to tell the difference when you're staring at someone who shouldn't be in your home at 2 in the morning. No way. Be prepared.

I'm not about to gamble my life - and the lives of the people in my house - on the benevolence of a goblin; I prefer to rely on Mssrs. Smith & Wesson.

Dead Goblin Count: 92

That is all.

Good riddance to another one, and the gene pool just got a bit deeper!

Reasons this is a darn good day: Family dinner, frying our turkey for the first time (delicious), Bottle of XO cognac waiting to be dipped into when the runts go to bed, one less scumbag on the face of the earth, my wife made homemade pie.

Yup, Thanksgiving doesn't get much better than this.

WV - pyricin: I hope my wife didn't put ricin in my pie.

I am born 'n raised Texan. I don't actually know anyone without at least one self-protection gun in the house and most people I know carry concealed. Point bein: any goblin, crimicritter, zombie, or just dumb-shite who breaks into a house in the middle of the day, or night, is automatically assumed to be armed and stupid.

Why bother to ask intentions? Just fire till you need to reload!!
