More good news from the Lone Star State: “Two would-be robbers are dead after an attempted home invasion in Maypearl, but the homeowner is not the one who killed them.” But this one looked like it may have been something more than your average home invasion. myfoxdfw.com says, “A woman was home alone when two suspects, heavily armed with guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition, reportedly attempted to enter her home.” She called her husband who rushed home with a firearm of his own. “When the husband arrived home there was an exchange of gunfire. The two suspects were found dead.” Wait. Didn’t the article say the homeowner didn’t take the two out? . . .
Deputies say both men killed themselves. Police have not confirmed the identities of the intruders. One was found in a field. The other was found in a pickup truck.
That ambiguous account doesn’t really make it clear whether the two offed themselves on purpose or whether it was just a happy accident.
Should the homeowners have waited until the pros got there to handle the situation? Not of you listen to the local sheriff.
“It took us a while to get out here. You know how far it is and we’re not sure if we would have had the same outcome had the homeowners not been armed,” said Lt. James Saulter with the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office.
Sounds like some Scooby-doo shit went down.
What? Did a burning bush deliver a message to these two? Arm yourselves heavily and attempt a home invasion which was apparently thwarted when the lady wouldn’t unlock the door and called her husband?
Plan B was suicide at the first hint of a glitch? Not one, but two villages are missing their idiots tonight.
Happy to say I contacted Remora and they handled the problem, no questions asked. They are sending me the correct holster and told me to keep the old one. Not sure what to do with it, but hay………who knows, may have a gun that will fit in the future. Thanks to Remora for how they handled the problem.

Thanks David, that tells a better account of what happened. And I like what the LT said about the sheriff telling folks to arm up!
optic backwards ergo “BFI” backwards 😉
Of course his Eotech is mounted backwards — that’s why he is sighting down the side of the barrel. Special Agent Gomer Pyle never did like that newfangled technology mumbo-jumbo.
Go to this link covering the same story. Scroll down and take a look at how the female police officer is holding her AR and then look really close: her magazine is in backwards!

This has to be the subject of a future Far Side cartoon.
It reminds me of the one where the nerdy looking boy is pushing on a door with all of his strength trying to open it. A sign tells us that the door is the entrance to the Midvale school for gifted children. On the door is a big sign that says “Pull”. (You can see it here: http://mlkshk.com/p/54DT)
You guys are so far behind the times!!! Its setup for QCB in a mirrored funhouse.. Gosh!!
I’m from that area and this type of stuff almost NEVER happens there. So, we can also disregard the whole “if you don’t live in a crime-ridden area, you don’t need a firearm to protect yourself”.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if the suspects knew exactly what they were going to find at that home, firearms-wise. Maypearl is a small, isolated farming community and most folks there keep firearms and plenty of ammo around for to protect themselves and their property from predators.
I thought it was the 30rnd magpull. Hard to get that in backwards.
Had to quick edit when I saw the link to the women cop having done just that.
take note people don’t think straight when stressed

For some people, thinking is stress.
CUOMO: “Watch how I can squirt water out of my fist!”
makes me wonder why some groups in CA don’t use these exact same arguments…
Damn, everyone else was just getting around to that story yesterday, and y’all already had it covered four days ago! I will never doubt you again.
Note: This is a reply to my previous post about something else.
Niiiiiice.
Diane Arbus made a rather shabby living useing her bottomless and baseless hatred for all things non-lesbian as well, the Left even had the termidity to refer to her (in Public) as a journalist. A streach even for Columbia U!
Was a winner ever announced?
