OCOEE, Fla. -- When two gunmen tried to break into an Ocoee house early Tuesday morning, the homeowner pulled out his gun and shot one of the men dead. Another robber ran off after the home invasion on Pomegranate Court.

WFTV gathered new information Tuesday afternoon about the shooter and the robber.

In re rural law enforcement:
E.G., The Methamphetamine craze now devastating rural America is very violent. Ditto the marijuana business. Deputies are loathe to confront the people involved unless they are in force, and can definitely get the "drop" on the bastards. The money is huge, so cynical old dog that I am, I might even tend to suspect a modicum, at least, of, heavens forfend, corruption!I know you are shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Forgive me.

Check out your own county. I will bet you right now there are warrants out on people for armed robbery, assault and battery, sexual assault, drug charges, DUI, you name it. Most are people who were arrested and made bail, or were even released on their own recognizance. Illegal aliens are routinely let go "pending trial!" The paperwork, you see, is "overwhelming."

On the other hand, if there is the chance of income for the county involved, your sheriff's department will be at your house PDQ!

There is none of that going on here. We used to have a little bit of corruption but one day a whole posse of flying pigs showed up with sixguns blazing and put a stop to all that nonsense. Now the sheriff rides a purple Unicorn and everything is rosy. Of course I must admit that dead bodies are found around the county all too often, only de shadow know what dat about.

At least we don’t have to worry about “Peewee” any more, that little monster was a reality worse than fiction.

[Kenny Bunk]

Remember the good old days, when the mysterious dead were usually victims of shine cooked in truck radiators?

BTW, marijuana is NC's new tobacco crop. Staggering money ... and no taxes! BTW, Any truth to the rumors that NC is to be included in Aztlán in the next Secession?

If you think this young fellow's duty to the Democrat Party is over, think again.

I believe he will be on the rolls for several lifetimes to come, via absentee ballot. Why not? As we say at ACORN, "He be absent, right?"

[RipSawyer]

I don’t think they can stretch Aztlán that far North. They have to take Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina first. If SC secedes again it won’t be so that we can join Aztlán! Maybe if we can move the capital back to Montgomery and start all over we might think about it.

Of course all this is in jest...isn’t it?

Geez...that is a Sig Sauer P223; a much better piece than S&W...my Sig P229 in .40S&W is happily resting in my desk drawer at this moment.

[mad_as_he$$]

Los Angeles has many of them.

One or two miliseconds after my round(s) impact the perp...I really don't think they'll be too awfully concerned whether they were killed with a Sig or an S&W.

Do you?

[Seamus Mc Gillicuddy]

That sure as heck looks like a Sig to me! Just as good of a home defense system..

[Cuttnhorse]

"...I really don't think they'll be too awfully concerned whether they were killed with a Sig or an S&W. Do You?"

Yes...I'm a purist, and anyone who can't tell the difference between an S&W and a SigSauer probably shouldn't be allowed to handle a firearm. LOL!

Being a "purist" can get one killed....very easily. "I won't fight unless the conditions are perfect." "I won't defend myself unless I have my choice of weapon."

As stated previously, I don't think the perp who has been shot and killed gave one hoot in hell whether they were hit by a bullet from a Sig, an S&W, or a rusty .45

All they know...or need to know...is that they violated the law and the homeowner's legal space. (And I further suppose that the homeowner would have used any type of weapon at all to get the job done - regardless of the name on the handle.)

The type of weapon that brought about their demise is so beside the point.

Agreed. My last-ditch final backup weapon is a WWII NCO-issue samurai sword. No flash, no noise, and it won't penetrate the exterior walls of the house.

I love the smell of, ‘Dead Bad Guy in My Driveway’ in the morning!

Oh, wait...maybe NOT if it’s a terribly hot day, LOL! :)
