I’m assuming that since he didn’t chase the guy down who had his rifle, it must have been some cheap made Russian/Yugoslavian piece of junk he didn’t really want anyways....
He’ll probably get more from his insurance to buy a real rifle...
Good thinking...
Excellent Marksmanship!
A near perfect story.
We have 5 dogs and use crate training. They used to all sleep in their crates at night until one time when my father was coming to visit us. He was to arrive in the middle of the night, so we left the door unlocked, figuring the dogs would bark and wake us. Well, we woke up the following morning to find that the ex-Vietnam LRRP had sneaked in, right past all 5 dogs and gone to bed. Now we leave at least one or two roaming the house at night. Firearms will do you no good if you are not aware of your attackers.
If anyone can get past Golum and Aragorn, our two Belgian Shepherds they’re gonna meet Mr. Benelli and Mr. Wesson.

Maybe the owners fear their pit bulls and don't trust them while they're sleeping. I have a two year old chocolate lab who has her own beds on each side of our bed. That way she can sleep next to whoever is home or whoever she feels closest to each night.
A neighbor boy named Jamie had a chocolate lab named Shaq. Jamie was about ten years old and the dog was older than that.
Shaq and Jamie were inseperable, they even slept together. Shaq went blind and Jamie would take him out for a walk every day with Shaq on a leash. My son and I were in the yard one day when they came by and my son called out “Here comes Shaq and his guide boy”. Jamie thought that was extremely funny.
Shaq died recently and I haven’t seen Jamie out lately but that may be because of the cold weather. No point to this story other than that boy really loved that dog.
LOL!
"One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me," said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence. Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me."
He just knew what it was. He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along.
"Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls."
The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for m e to walk." When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled slowly to the cemetery. Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me."
The old man whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' me the truth. Let's see if we can see the Lord."
Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were still unable to see anything. The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of the Lord. At last they heard, "One for you, one for me. That's all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence and we'll be done."
They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes ahead of the kid on the bike.
You, me, everybody who pays local taxes.
Doesn't knowing that your tax dollars are going to help a poor misguided victim of a vicious gun totin vigilante make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
Now that feels better. One for the good guys.
Now, what he needs is a remote for the cage doors. He hears something downstairs, hits the remote to open the cage door for the pit bulls, then the robbers have the option of being shot by him, or torn open by the dogs. Much easier for the cops to locate the perps when there is a blood trail to follow.
The little dog, and the big dog sleep on the floor at the foot of the bed. S&W 659 Sleeps in holser on headboard post. Little dog is only 145 Lbs., big dog is 183 Lbs. Great Danes WOOF kinda loud. Daytime they patrol the “Yard”. You can’t get to the house unless you open the gate. And nobody has tried that yet. So we do ok. Just keep the “Beware of Dog” and “Beware of Owner” signs posted in plain sight.
hahah, Beware of Owner. good good. I have always thot that one of those paper targets with a bunch of recent bullet holes in it/ maybe a torso-shaped target, wouldn’t be a bad warning.
