TN: Invasion suspect, homeowner identified [View all] X_Digger Jan 2012 OP

Not much in the way of facts available. ManiacJoe Jan 2012 #1

Probably loaded with 7's or 8'...next time load up with 00 ileus Jan 2012 #2

Things turned out OK, but you think he should have used more lethal shot. Hoyt Jan 2012 #4

If he was capable of running away, he was capable of attacking. n/t PavePusher Jan 2012 #6

He was running away. Not easy for him to attack you. Calm down. Hoyt Jan 2012 #7

Calm down? Errr, from what? PavePusher Jan 2012 #11

Sorry, I should have said "get rational." You can't even be satisfied with stopping a robbery. Hoyt Jan 2012 #14

"Guts flowing out in the street?" Well, at least it's not blood anymore. SteveW Jan 2012 #20

Yea, I can hear you guys eating up your instructor's words -- "shoot the fucker in the back." Hoyt Jan 2012 #23

guts kinda just drag in the street...the don't flow very well ileus Jan 2012 #26

Yeah, and running through them is problematic. nt SteveW Jan 2012 #28

Not at all. I pointed out a potential flaw in someone's choice of action/preparedness. PavePusher Jan 2012 #30

ok but not ideal...what if he was to return ileus Jan 2012 #9

Lord man. "Self-defense" is not shooting someone when they are down. Hoyt Jan 2012 #13

So you think people should use the least effective ammunition in their self defense firearms? Jean V. Dubois Jan 2012 #15

Sounds like it was VERY effective to me. Just not enough blood/guts on ground for some of you. Hoyt Jan 2012 #16

What's your public policy solution to this "problem", if any? Jean V. Dubois Jan 2012 #19

I would like to know burf Jan 2012 #17

I think the point was that the thug was NOT "down," but still on his feet... SteveW Jan 2012 #21

He was stopped, which is what self defense is about. Whatayouwant -- a head to mount? Hoyt Jan 2012 #22

"He was stopped?" Uh, he was running. With both legs... SteveW Jan 2012 #24

He was no longer a threat -- well to rational people. Hoyt Jan 2012 #25

So much for the noble idea of self-defense... ellisonz Jan 2012 #31

No, according to the OP link, he was manifestly not "stopped." nt SteveW Jan 2012 #29

Sure as heck was. He was fleeing. Then again, I haven't invested a lot in preparing to shoot people. Hoyt Jan 2012 #32

My boss has a Hydra-Kinetic bean bag chambered and 00 after that. ileus Jan 2012 #27

Vaudville at it's best. rl6214 Jan 2012 #33

I would have thought that you would prefer rocksalt. oneshooter Jan 2012 #12

Almost certainly birdshot in this case, given that the perp ran away after being hit twice. Jean V. Dubois Jan 2012 #5

I've seen that in CDT ileus Jan 2012 #8

Lawsy. If that don't do it, nothing will. nt rrneck Jan 2012 #34

Reno's accomplice was a real partner. burf Jan 2012 #3

Of course he was steamed one-eyed fat man Jan 2012 #10

I guess it depends on what burf Jan 2012 #18
