Rubber bullets? From a shotgun?
The weapon was seized for evidence,
I hope the SEIZED WEAPON will be returned or will it end up in some cops gun collection.
I can understand nor wanting to kill someone and his method appears to work.
In the fall there was a self defensive stabbing near me by an armed CCW holder. Said he didn’t want to escalate the situation any more than he needed to. Said he had the gun in one hand and the knife in the other.
Personally I think I’d shoot someone who still came at me when I had a gun and a knife.
I hope there is a neighbor who can loan him a replacement until he can get his firearm back.
“Rubber bullets? From a shotgun?”
Haven’t you ever heard of a liberal shotgun from Loony Lefty Oregon that shoots condoms instead of bullets?
I wouldn’t call it success. I would say the homeowner was very very lucky.
Fail = “firing three rounds, hitting the suspect who rode off on a bicycle.”
I hope the next time, and I am sure that there will be a next time, someone uses a lethal round and ends the life of Oscar Taylor, Jr. And, if Oscar Taylor, Sr. is still alive, someone should give him a good kick in the arse for doing such a fine job raising his son.
You’ve got that right. I knew a Kentucky state police officer that used to show off his growing gun collection.
He probably had 30 guns that he got from criminal cases. He could even tell me what crime each individual gun was used in. Kind of a strange collection.
Those lockers aren’t as secure as one would think!
I heard this one on the news the other day. It got me curious enough to try to look up rubber shotshells. I did find that there are some VERY unusual shotshell loads out there:

I can tell you this if anyone is stupid enough to break into my house it won’t be a rubber bullet he gets hit with...

sorry about so many post..
Indeed. I keep a load of some unusual rifled slugs in my 12 ga Mossberg 500a.
They have the rifled slug that is made of nylon which sits behind a .65 caliber ball. It turns your shotgun into a pump-action or semi-auto musket. Surprisingly accurate with good range.
True. Nevertheless, I will continue to rely on my peacemaker with hollow points of the 45 caliber persuasion.
A dead person doesn’t sue. They also don’t come back with “friends” when they are well.
I have 7 shot to get their attention, and buck and ball to take em out.
