I love stories where we add more than one dead goblin. The Big Guy sends in this little doozy:

Two People Dead After An Alleged Home Invasion
HIDALGO COUNTY-Hidalgo County Sheriff's Deputies are trying to determine if the shooting deaths of two men was murder or justifiable homicide. The two men reportedly broke into the home before they were shot. Sheriff Lupe Trevino says the men wore masks, held pistols and stormed the home near Alberta Road and Nicole Drive and that's when Sheriff Trevino says the homeowner opened fire.
Funny thing, that. You break into my home wearing masks, carrying guns, and kicking in doors and you're inviting yourself to receiver 230 grains of copper jacketed steel at 1000 FPS. Sounds like they just broke into the wrong got-damn rec room, doesn't it? Again, please notice that this was a story about multiple attackers...

Dead Goblin Count: 155

That is all.

Okay, so the very first sentence.... How do you have to "determine if the shooting deaths of two men was murder or justifiable homicide" when the vermon in question "wore masks, held pistols and stormed the home".

I'm thinkin' there isn't a lot of gray area in this one....

Seems there was a home invasion in Pakistan, with dead goblins.

Will Bin Laden go in the dead Goblin Count?

I realize it was a military operation that took out bin Laden and thus not eligible, but I'd be willing to look the other way if you wanted to make that an honorary DGC bump.

You cruel and vicious gun owners! How dare you shoot these wonderful men who just mistakenly wandered into the wrong house. Surely Joan Peterson is right; you should not use Castle Doctrine justification to shoot such upstanding members of society. Best to let them rob, pillage, and murder, then to add to the "gun death" tally.(sarcasm)

My only real gripe with this story is my realization that there is a complete idiot that even thought about whether or not this shooting was justified. So, come into my home wearing masks with guns and OO buckshot will repeal boarders!

Curious, what rounds are you using? I have copper jacketed (165-230 grn) LEAD and solid copper (185 grn) rounds but have not run across copper jacketed steel in 230 grn. I currently vascilate between 185 solid copper and 165 jacketed lead, all in +P. Plenty of stomp.
