Resident shoots burglar during home invasion

[The Straight Story]

3. We have had those here in my hood

Earlier this year someone kicked in the door of my neighbor (not a really bright guy and prison is his second home....so not too shocking) and there was a group of people trying to fight him and his kids (who are in their mid to late teens).

We have had many break ins around here (mostly abandoned homes, but not always). And the cops do *nothing*. Literally. I have gotten plate numbers, descriptions, etc and so on.

Folks here are on their own mostly. I don't own a gun but keep a knife around and a stick. My dad has a few guns in his room (and a CCW).

If you wait on the cops it is too late.
