A man who will fight you for the gun that you posses is a deadly threat.

Choosing burglary as a profession does have its downside.

In what part of the world did this take place?

I hope he has a good lawyer. Dead men do not sue.

Strange story.

He’s probably going to regret letting him live.

I guess we get to pay for his medical bills now...

Espanola, New Mexico... a bit north and west of Santa Fe.

Good for McNeil! Quintana won’t be trying to break into anyone’s house again. Is Quintana illegal, I wonder?

“(The homeowner) said he didn’t have the heart to kill him,” Española Police Lt. Christian Lopez said. “He shot him in the legs.”

If a man is worth shooting, he's worth shooting right.

Nor do they come back for revenge.

Well, at least he won’t be stealing anyone else’s air conditioner for a while.

Trying to steal a heavy appliance is pretty hard without legs.

Most likely homegrown. Northern New Mexico is majority old spanish families going back to the 1600’s. They do not like illegals.

Shotgun oh yeah, for the guy who does not want to worry about aiming. I love happy stories.

“(The homeowner) said he didn’t have the heart to kill him,”

The bad guy who wanted your gun so badly more than likely had the heart do so.

“Northern New Mexico is majority old spanish families”.

Yea, those 4’9” chica’s are most definitely “Spanish”.
So funny to see Mexicans look down their noses at the other
Incan/Mayan natives from south of the border.
They raise their noses and say, “I’m SPANISH”.
Yea, right prove that in a DNA test.

Yeah, and it was an assault shotgun with high-capacity “mags”, too...

For the record and a warning to anyone who would violate my home. I DO have the heart to kill you. I am no longer in the military or law enforcement. I DO NOT take prisoners, if you want to surrender rob someone else. The coroner will have a hard time determining which caliber bullet was the lethal shot, let alone which bullet.
