-----Update---- since this article was published updated accounts by the homeowner list that he had loaded his gun and had it on his person when the inmates came to his property but he did not have to draw it.

Since after every event people here ask "where was the good guy with the gun" here is an example worth as much discussion.

The two had just killed two corrections officers to escape and just before this did a home invasion on an elderly couple, stole their car, led police on a high speed chase shooting at them. Then the wrecked the car and ran into the woods. They came out at a home expecting to repeat what they did with the elderly couple and instead met a person who had the ability to defend himself. And like most defense uses of a firearm it was not even fired, its presence and the threat of it were enough.
