“Police said the homeowner heard a noise inside his residence and shot a man, later identified as 33-year-old Deyfon Pipkins, aka BJ, as he climbed through the window.” So reports nbcdfw.com. Not that BJ’s demise surprised those who know knew him best. “Pipkins mother, Catherine, said she had been called to the scene by her daughter-in-law and said the crime sounded like something her son would do.” . . .
Another successful home defense brought to you by an armed citizen. Oh, and this one happened at 3:30p on Monday afternoon in the Dallas neighborhood of Oak Cliff. If you’ve been reading our DGUTD’s, you’ll have noticed that a disturbing number of these happen in broad daylight. On weekdays. When burglars like the late Mr. Pipkins expect most people to be at work.
Of course, BJ was probably unaware that Monday was a national holiday for a lot of folks. Two words: home carry.
“Devenisive”? Nice word. Aren’t you supposed to wait until he’s all the way in the house?
At least the homeowner did not defenistrate him, as Archie suggested to Gloria in All in the Family.
Here in NC they taught us in the CC class that once they got inside you had to evaluate the threat and could only shoot if threatened. We were also taught that we could shoot as they were attempting to break in if it were clear that they had felonious intent. Everyone in the class thought this was clearly bass-ackwards.
Sounds like the homeowner got the memo about STFU after a DGU.
only if you don’t mind being a victim.
Home break ins in our area are most frequent between 10 AM and 2 PM. Glad the homeowner is OK.
Pay very close attention…the last paragraph of this blog post describes perfectly the entire blog post itself.
“lied repeatedly, told half-truths, speculated about possible violations, and related his ‘suspicions’ with no basis in fact” <– Truth is stranger than fiction.
If Nowhere is safe, then I’m moving to Nowhere, which is somewhere in Oklahoma. I understand that Alaska tried to build a bridge to there, but Sarah Palin didn’t want it.

Pregnant women, old people, and “kids” can kill you just as fast and as dead as a 21 year old gangbanger or a 42 year old soverign citizen…or a pair of teenage nutjobs, or just one 18 year old kid off his meds. Failure to realize that just shows ignorance of the real world.
I think photorealistic targets are a great training tool, whether it be kids, dogs, old people, pregnant women, zombies, nazis, or anything else that can kill you. The whole purpose of those targets is to make you hesitate and identify the weapon…real or not, shoot/don’t shoot.
It may not be politically correct, it may not be “nice”, but it’s true to life. You fight how you train, and if you don’t train for any possiblity, that quarter second of heistation could cost you your life or someone elses.
Please tell us about your last shootout or armed confrontation with a white pregnant woman.
Please detail your last shootout with Korean/Vietnam War vet.
Please do tell us all about the last time you even read a report about a 10-ish year old white (or any other color) suburban kid killing a copper in the USA. Or even seriously pointing a gun at one.
I’m really, truly curious. Because that kinda theoretical crap doesn’t happen in North St. Louis. Or even East St. Louis. Or the Southside of Chicago (at least that I’ve ever heard about).
Since officer shootings almost never happen at all, do tell me why we are supposed to accept training to kill kids, for a scenario 100 times less likely than getting run over doing a traffic stop.
As a resident trapped behind enemy lines, again, I would like to thank all free Americans who have helped free me as a political prisoner. And to those who are in a position to help, but have not as yet …
… HAAAAAAAALP!!
Own three Barretts. Need a few more, now.
I would like to see a mass exodus from this organization.
Note to self: before taking up burglary, notify friends and family to speak to neither police nor media upon my demise. (Especially with statements like, “yeah, that sounds like something my kid would do.”)
I guess my ad-blocker must be doing it’s job.
Snowflake bolts? Being in the industry I have never heard of a snowflake bolt so where did you get you snowflake bolts Foghorn? Re bolts being weaker and muzzle energy the cause. It should actually be the “bolt thrust” that would cause the bolt to have a higher failure rate but there doesn’t seem to be any reports of bolt failure with the 6.8 if you look around the forums. Federal is now loading 6.8 ammo. I believe Federal-ATK is quite a bit larger than Remington.
The truth about guns huh?
Whole lotta AWESOME!!
I remember an extended discussion of polling that took place on PJMedia pre-election. The upshot that was that NO poll is reliable, because only a tiny percentage of those contacted respond to the poll. Thus, the sample is self-selected and can never be considered truly random.
We had 2 attempted break-ins last year. My wife was lucky to be awake at the time since she works nights and sleeps during the day. She started going to the range with me after the first attempt.
I agree with Mr. Barrett, to wit:
I believe that any author and cosponsors of a law that is found to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, in whole or in part, should be charged with a crime against The Constitution and the Peoples of these United States. Further, any Congressmen or Women who voted in favor of it should also be censured and have removed their privileges to incumbency.
I believe this would go a long way towards cleaning the critter’s acts up. It would cut way down on the amounts and recurrences of frivolous power grabs. And it would end once and for all any of this “we have to pass it to find out what’s in it” bullshitte!
And now we know why is he is NOT a professor of history – or logic – or common sense. Or mens fashion, for that matter.
Why hasn’t there been an article on Exile Machine joining this movement?
I discovered them because they joined this movement, and they are awesome! Hands down best thing about them, if you live in CA you can still buy magazines more than 10 rounds from them, and have them shipped to a CA address. They exploit a loophole that allows them to ship the magazine fully disassembled as a “magazine repair kit”. They are definitely getting my business, as soon as their magazines are back in stock!
My favorite pet peeve: how leftists always treat the US Constitution like its some ancient Mayan scroll from the year 3000BC , unable to be interpreted without an army of scholars and groupthink committees.
Both the damned liars that made (fabricated) these stats and any idiots incompetent enough to believe them should be removed from the gene pool.
What did I say? It was not hard to predict at all, given the anti 2A sentiment in this state. Once the senate votes on it, most of this nonsense will go to Christie and he’ll sign. When will the legislators realize that the road to hell is paved with good intentions? All these restrictions will have the opposite effect, because the only people to comply will be the law-abiding citizens, not the criminals. Pretty soon every city and every town will look like Newark, or Camden, or Paterson.
