Mom, dad and junior are home on a Thursday night baking a cake together. An old B&W episode of Father Knows Best? Nope. Just a Houston family minding its own beeswax until, according to khou.com, they heard a knock at the door. “’I see a young boy and I think it is a friend of my son so I open it a little bit,’ the father explained. ‘These guys push and out comes two more, they push me on the ground.’” Once past the dad, the three invaders made for the mom. That’s when the the 21-year-old son headed for dad’s gun stashed in a bedroom . . .
He opened fire and hit one of the suspects, who died in the back bedroom. The other two suspects fled the scene.
“I just hear a couple of times; boom, boom, boom. One young life is lost,” the dad said.
The pair who made tracks were picked up by the local 5-0 posthaste.
“People can’t go breaking into people’s homes and not expect some sort of consequence,” said Harry Moulder.
Increasingly, unfortunately, that depends on the state in which you live.
Shottys have two downsides — they’re much clumsier than handguns in tight spaces and they need two hands. The upside is that looking down the barrel of a shotgun is a life altering experience and a blast of 00 buck is life ending, either from the 8 or 9 lead balls or from a heart attack.
Ahhh….Texas……
Break in, get shot and die – “stupid is as stupid does”

I have the Glock 36. NEVER had a FTF with it since new, even when I stupidly broke the ejector by trying to straighten it with a Leatherman! (My son actually didn’t know I’d broken it and loaded and fired a couple clips, we fired over 180 more rounds that day, and I fixed it for $8.80 for the replacement part from Glockmeister!). After a lifetime of being a 1911 guy I bought this pistol on a dare from my local shop and never regretted it. In a pinch I think I would grab my P14-45 as a primary and the Glock 36 as a back up. It’s just that good.

Don’t give joe any credence. He’s a fool who’s advice is likely to get someone thrown in jail, or worse, killed.
Didn’t hear about it until too late. Been dealing with the blitzkrieg, focusing on the multiple rights attacks across the nation which tends to dominate my spare time. Didn’t see any email notices about this from RMGO or NRA….or not that I recall or can find.
Hip hip hurrah!
Seriously, I could use a little less liberal-bashing, being one m’self. I don’t screech about the Red Menace, after all, and extremists come in all colours.
But that’s individual posters. TTAG is about the only truly impartial forum of which I know, on ANY subject.
That is appreciated.

I have many friends who are LEO’s and who support our fight both officially an unofficially.
That being said the Police Deoartments need no more or less than we are allowed to own.
Living in a rural community if a break in occurs I am the one needing the Standard Capacity Magazine in my firearms. Not the LEO’s who are 15 miles away!!!
I heard about it yesterday. Too many rally’s happening. We need a few SUPER STORM HUGE rally’s and not a bunch of little ones.
@ Rob: We are incredibly law abiding folks up here due to our Conservative beliefs. But “doncha-know” is what they say in Minnesota not ND. Although the Libiots in Fargo ND often fantasize they are a mini Minneapolis.
What about all the other silencer manufacturers(besides Liberty)?
Why haven’t companies like Aac, Gemtech, Swr, Silencerco, Yhm and all the smaller companies said anything?
Shouldn’t they be involved with this as well?
chuck schumer is an evil excuse for a man. We must rid our senate of clowns like this or we will never know liberty again. I know, we will never know liberty again.
Gives a whole new meaning to cooking off a few rounds :>)
Beretta should start manufacturing their ARX-100s in Virginia or further down south.
