BERLIN, N.H. -- One man has been killed, another injured in a shooting in Berlin. Police said Nathaniel Springfield, 23, was shot and killed in an apparent armed robbery attempt at an apartment on Third Avenue Wednesday night.This dude had serious cojones:
The attorney general's office said that Springfield was one of three men that forced their way into the apartment. Two of the three men were armed with handguns. Once inside, the attorney general's office said the men assaulted a man and woman inside the apartment. The male resident managed to get his own gun and multiple shots were exchanged. In addition to Springfield's fatality, officials said a second suspect was critically wounded.
Two of the three assailants had guns already, and this guy kills one and injures a second. That's a solid .500 in my book... This is why you have a plan, and practice. You never know when a group of crackheads is going to come crashing through the door.
At least this had a happy ending for your Thanksgiving enjoyment...

Home invasion is my worst nightmare because you can have people in your living room in 15 seconds with very little warning.
It's also a nightmare because of Mass' horrible storage laws. Theoretically I can be prosecuted for simply having a gun in a drawer WHILE I AM HOME. We have no children here, ever. I do not have anyone in my house I don't trust unless I'm escorting them everywhere. Yet I'm technically a criminal.
Carrying at home when you're not allowed to carry outside the home (restricted LTC) is a rotten solution. It's clunky and time-consuming. And I really don't like feeling like I'm barricading myself in my own home. It just makes me feel weird to come home and THEN strap on a gun.
Personally I just put one in a drawer when I'm at home anyway. If that's not "under my control" enough for a DA then he can prosecute and be damned.
But home invasion is another reason to have a dog. He'll give you that extra 15 seconds of barking as the bad guys come to the door. Something that can easily save your life.
