That’s not too far from the Country Club. I bet that was the talk of the afternoon.

I love gun control. Gun control is hitting exactly what one is aiming at. When the shot is fatal and the victim is a criminal, it just don’t get no better than that. Give the shooter a trophy.

You mean one is allowed to shoot somebody that is trespassing with intent to steal that threatens family with their lives?

This in America??

Perhaps there is hope after all!

Should be interesting ... Liberals will be slobbering over “justice” for thiefs.

What part of “you don’t [screw] with a man’s ride” did he not understand?

Wow....Unless that lawyer was physically threatened in some way, he’s in a lot of trouble.

In this instance, a good man acted and evil did not succeed.

Saved the Florida tax payers a few bucks and for that I thank you.

Now I pray for the family in the house. I just hope they make it through this ordeal.

Here is a 2009 article on this lawyer. He had guns in house but some armed thieves jumped him and his wife in their driveway. He must have said “Never again”

http://www.biscaynetimes.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=428:guns-can-change-everything&catid=50:community-news&Itemid=166

This past September 26, a Saturday, the couple met friends for dinner in Fort Lauderdale. Around 12:30 a.m. they arrived home in their rented minivan (one of their cars was being repaired), and Yasmin stepped out to open the garage door.

Seconds later, two young black men stormed up the driveway, shouting at her. With the car windows up, Davis says he didn’t notice the commotion at first, and when he did, he admits wondering if they needed help. But in a split second everything became clear. The two intruders had guns. They cocked their pistols sideways and one man started yelling: “Gimme the bag, ho! F-—ing bitch! Gimme the bag!”

Two people in the house, a woman and a teenage boy confronted the man. It appears he threatened them, Rutland said.

Either the woman or the teenager shot the intruder; police were not sure Saturday. Detectives are questioning both people, he said

I'm glad you said "allegedly". A friend of mine told me just 2 days ago he told his wife, if anyone comes in the house, shoot to kill. All you have to say is "he said he was going to kill me and I believed him". Dead men don't talk.

They have small children in the home and a friend recently was accosted in her house when she and her small child were alone.
