I moved this to chat and added the Snopes link to the header instead of pulling it.

Sometimes bogus articles like this are worth leaving up and sometimes not. I wasn’t sure so I left it up for Freepers to deal with.

As much as I love my no-choke 870 stuffed with 8 or so 000’s, I’m every bit as comfy protecting my 160 lb German black and mahogany partner with my 40. Call me crazy.

Excellent! Thanks for the ping.

Here is a true story without such a happy ending: Nutcase breaks into the house where a teenager was watching her younger brothers and sisters. Dad, being the conscientious citizen he is, obeys the law and locks up the guns. Meanwhile nutcase proceeds to murder children who are only feet away from help but cannot get to it because asshole, busybody shitbird politicians want to make everyone FEEL SAFE by passing laws that do nothing but cause law abiding citizens to die.

Wait a second! I started getting a little suspicious of this when I thought about the amount of recoil off a buckshot load. That's no bird-shot. I was about to check this on Snopes when I realized that there was no source for this story. In fact, clicking on the source links the story to Snopes who deemed the story as FALSE!

he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive.

Aww, what a shame, and it had to happen just as he was preparing to go off to seminary to study for the priesthood too. It seems like it's always the good guys who get the bad breaks.

Thnx for the ping anywayz Joe...You are a good man and I appreciate your proactivism, and heck, an article about an 11yr old victim popped up instead.

“Two illegal aliens, Ralphel Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26,probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11 year old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home.”

I seriously doubt that these crimigrants were just going to rob the place.

Good shot and well done.

[Jet Jaguar]

it pays to read the thread and not just the article.

[hiredhand]

JUST KIDDING! JUST KIDDING!

:-)

[Travis McGee]

Well, it COULD happen!

[Grunthor]

“it pays to read the thread and not just the article.”

Probably....unless your are dealing with a long thread.....some of y’all are pretty darned boring, LOL!

[Jet Jaguar]

See post 69.

I am guilty as well. :0)

[Jet Jaguar]

The Mod fixed the title so we don’t get suckered in.

[Jet Jaguar]

Thanks for the title fix.

[Grunthor]

Sure. NOW, LOL!

I started getting a little suspicious of this when I thought about the amount of recoil off a buckshot load. That's no bird-shot.

Even the the story is FALSE, it does say that the gal had been shooting shotguns for 2 years or so. Such a person might not even notice the recoil in such a situation.

Worm ?............You friends with Eaker ?:o)

Agree , one or two outside and other inside.......kill them and intent is established , gloves are off and medieval games begin.

I recently decided that my cheap, no good , unreliable , POS , won’t hurt a flea wearing kevlar MAC-90 house gun that I use to back up the puppy platoon was the best purchase one could make as it is indeed cheap (paid 190$ in late 80’s for it), The 30 caliber round is an established stop the threat round and I have three more in the safe if that one gets taken as evidence should anyone get past said puppy platoon. And if I don’t get it back I am out less than 200$ vs a 1500 to 2500 dollar SOCOM II or SIG / HK variant of house gun !

Replacing the pups would be expensive , emotionally and financially....... yet they have their job and do it well. Rewards are plentiful .

Stay safe !
