A 93-year-old man shot and killed an intruder who broke into his Abita Subdivision home early Saturday, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office said.

The intruder struck Pratt, and Pratt said he grabbed a .38 caliber handgun he kept near his bed and opened fire.

Aged 93 ... and he still has a great bite!

Thanks, for this post. As Dr John Lott's book's title says, "More Guns, Less Crime!, we have another example.

This DNC voter broke into this 93 year old man's home to rob and maybe kill him!

Instead he gets a new anus punched into his body and gets carried out feet first! This felon will not be voting for the Goronistas in any more elections!

As Americans wake up to the reality of the world, not the lies of the DNC after 9/11/2001, they are rushing to buy guns for the first time in their lives. If their state has a concealed weapons carry law for the good citizens, they are signing up to carrry a concealed weapon in numbers never seen!

Two things will happen as a result of these Americans arming themselves:

1. Violent Crime Rates will drop like a rock in areas where citizens can arm themselves and in particuliar states where CWC is allowed!

2. Each new gun owner will become a conservative voter. The next time the left wing extremists of the DNC try to disarm them in their state, they will vote these anti American left wing extremists out of office!

Arm our flight crews and the hijacking that happened on 9/11 will be a distant but painful memory!

Dr Lott is urging the Airlines to allow all cops licensed to carry a gun to get discounts (I say free flights) if they carry a concealed weapon on board every flight! Instant sky marshalls with a penny of tax dollars!

Yup-private property defended,and public monies that would have been spent on supporting a miscreant while in jail,and defending him at trial not spent. Good post.

Hey, John--here's one for SUSSA to sign up. In fact, may I be so bold as to propose an honorary membership for this gentleman.

I love stories like this!

The St. Tammany Parish coroner's office identified the victim as Michael Patterson, 22, of Havelock, N.C.

Yes one more criminal we don't have to support forever. Saves much more money to just get rid of them at the scene of the crime.

This is the way it is supposed to work, but watch the Feinstiens and Boxers of the world just have a cow, the boy was 22, he must have been desperate to break into someones house. If only the system had worked like it should this man could have gotten government help and would never had turned to crime.

We must have gun control to keep these things from happening, this 93 year old has had a long life, how dare he shoot a 22 year old!!

THat is as the other side would see it!! and probably does see it. As far as I'm concerned, good job, another A-hole criminal piece of SH&^ bites the dust!!!

I do advocate the use of force when it is applied to a person in a self defence mode. The man did not cower at the intruders' attempt to injure him, but reacted with the proper reaction. BRAVO!!!

Big huge LOL!:>)

After the massive voting several times by many Goristas and the voting of the dead. A long time friend sent me a copy of an article from Tulsa, Okla about a long time demonicRat dead for a decade who managed to vote at least twice for Goron in Nov, 2000.

This long dead demonicRat had a habit of registering under several names and even his own name to vote in Tulsa's elections before he went straight to hell!

When the news came out about this apparent resurrection from the dead to vote twice, one of the dead demonicRat's grandsons said, "That doesn't surprise me that Grampa got out of his grave to vote twice for a democrat! He was in a habit while alive of voting several times in each election for democrats and then bragging about it!

So you are right, this DNC criminal with a new anus may well vote from the grave in the next election in the true DemonicRat tradition!
