So these 2 teenagers tried to break into my house last night.

Great story, interesting replies. As for speaking about what someone else might do, that's always a losing proposition. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Not to say I haven't done it before, myself. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Reminds me a bit of an experience of mine:

I lived in the Caribbean for a couple of years, some in St. Vincent & the Grenadines, some in Sint Maarten/St. Martin (half-Dutch/half French). Handguns are totally illegal there for anyone not law enforcement, even for home defense. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

While brushing my teeth one day, I see a guy come out from under my apartment (we lived on a hill, with a 5' crawlspace where we hung our clothes on the line to dry). There was obviously no reason for him to be there, so I ran outside and yelled at him to make him stop. He did (moron), and I noticed he was wearing one of my shirts! ****ER! So I played dumb, asking him what he was doing there as I approached him, and noticed he was carrying a bundle with what appeared to be a bunch of other clothes in it, as well as wearing a pair of my shorts (gym shorts, not undershorts!). ****ER!!!

I immediately arm-barred him to the ground, hopped on top of him and started beating the everlasting shit out of him. My wife ran next door and grabbed the neighbor to come help me hold him while she called the Dutch poilice (be prepared to wait an hour or so). He said later it looked like Goliath beating up on Gumbi, lol. The guy was pretty smallish, maybe 5'5", 150 or so, I'm 5'11" 200+. I was absolutely rancidly insane... just pissed that this frigging MAGGOT would come and try to steal from me. The neighbor pulled me off and held the guy down. When he pulled my t-shirt off the guy and found out he was wearing one of HIS t-shirts underneath, as well as a couple more pairs of shorts (also my neighbor's), he started beating the guys ***, too. I'll never forget the look of that guy's head bouncing off my concrete as my friend punched him like a speedbag.

Cops showed up about 30 minutes later and started 'questioning' the guy... stood him up against the wall and were talking to him in Papiamentu or Creole or something, but he kept leaning on one of the cops, who kept roughly pushing him back into the wall. I didn't know why he was leaning on the cop, till I noticed the cop's big boot squishing the guy's bare toes. lol

Anyways, long story, not quite as exciting as the OP, but it WAS fulfilling to feel like I'd 'gotten some back' for all us Americans down there who were absolutely incessant victims of crime from the locals. I was kind of a hero in my crowd for a few months. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

6 shots down...anyways

I wouldn't shoot them unless I SAW the weapon before the cops showed up. If I did, I'd prove a point and shoot the one in the foot, legs or whatever. Shotgun rounds spray....But yeah, then pull the weapon out with my hand inside of my shirt and throw it on the ground. Could just say when I shot him, it flew out of his hands. They're not going to believe the other person....

Fun stuff.

 

[urlost 10+ year member]

To the OP, way to go! It's great to hear when thieves get busted.

On another note:

It's the same here - if asked by a sworn peace officer you are obligated to tell them of the presence of a weapon and allow them to temporarily secure it for their protection if they so request but it isn't unlawful to carry it in the car wherever you see fit to - again provided the weapon isn't anywhere hidden on your person if you do not have a current and valid permit allowing you to do so.

Had a trooper stop me at an insurance checkpoint one day. When he asked to see proof of insurance I told him I had a loaded pistol in the glove box. He said "Just don't touch it 'cause I would hate to have to smoke you." I told him "You wouldn't hate it half as bad as I would." He never even ran the numbers. just checked my papers and sent me on my way.

i wuldnt have even called the cops, i woulda hung em on a tree.

 

[60ndown 10+ year member]

[southstylestang 10+ year member]

i ain't really worried about them getting to me in my home.........i'm pretty well protected. Also, Ohio is a conceal and carry state now so i have my permit and i pack a .357 sig even if i'm going around the corner to blockbuster. My wife packs a .357 mag S&W 6 shot revovler.

how are those .357 sig's? are they worth the money.

Well, assuming your user info under your avatar there is accurate you have to keep in mind you are down there where the state boobyhatch is so the troopers of whatever barracks (is that still Troop G down there? No - probably Troop I out of Alexandria, huh?) they're from are likely accustomed to all manner of unorthodox traffic stops. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Yeah, I agree with that one just be careful but you shouldn't have to worry because you didn't kill the kids friend he was with or anything

glock 31...2nd nicest gun i have ever shot/owned. The first being my Kimber Classic 1911. The .357 sig is the most accurate/consistant round i've ever shot and i've shot and owned lots of different calibers. Well worth the $475 i shelled out for it.

 

[bds0688 10+ year member]

Awesome story. I really don't want to take someone's life, but I wouldn't hesitate to make someone messing with my house hurt a little.

Yeah, it's Troop "E" in Alex, and they do get a few "different" stops I'm sure.

colorful thieves? yay or nay?

reading > you

a) You're not big because you're "bucking up" to me on a message forum.b) You smoke pole for TRYING to act hard on a message forum.

c) You'll do life for shooting/killing someone for trying to take your AC.. patna.

I don't know what kinda person you are outside of these forums, but I also couldn't care less..

kthxboy.

1. false

2. false

3. defintitely false, for two reasons, 1. he lives in the south, and i really dont like living in the south but their guns laws are the bestest and 2. the AC is an easy access point to the interior of the house. I thought this was common knowledge. But trying to get it out with someone in the house is stupid, unless it is improperly installed.

You're going to catch huge flamage for this one, fella....get ready for it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

meh we all know all white people are racist. no need to even flame him for this.

I never claimed to be big. The only statement I made of any kind is that you are an uninformed idiot which is inarguable fact.
See above

I do not know about the laws governing such actions in your locale but here in Louisiana the laws are written in such a fashion that legally a very dim view is given to such actions that might make a homeowner (or dweller for that matter) feel in fear for their life. Consequently in our state lethal force being used against someone trespassing on private property doing anything that could be viewed as an attempt to access an inhabited dwelling is both legally and morally acceptable 'round these parts.

... patna.

Should you ever find yourself in a real-life situation wherein you are forced to make the choice of taking someone's life or allowing them to take yours then come and give your opinions on how you think someone else might react under like circumstances. Who is to say that theft of the window A/C unit was their only motivation? Perhaps the actual case is that they planned on removing it from the window to create an easy access point for the interior of the dwelling in which is was installed.

Is that likely the case? Probably not.

It is even remotely possible? Absolutely.

Do not tell me what I would or would not do in a given situation based on your opinion of the matter which, since you do not know anything about me, is completely immaterial. You haven't a clue.

I agree it was the easy access point, im not sure why you said "probly not" remotely possible, id say 105% true. thats definitely what they were doing. And I still dont understand the mentality of people just wanting to give up their shit without a fight, because of fear of repercussions. **** that, if you are gonna take mine, you are dam sure gonna earn it.

I took a concealed weapons course with my dad. If they are in your house, you can shoot them.

i dont remember what i was gonna say here

Louisiana is the same way thanks to former governor Mike Foster. Maybe he and your governor Bush have been chatting or something....

Additionally here you can shoot to kill if someone tries to carjack you - also thanks to former Gov. Foster.

Perhaps J31Rob's statements hold true in Indiana. As I am not a resident of that state I neither know nor care. But he should keep his trap shut about things he is obviously misinformed or simply uninformed about before he goes shooting off at the mouth making statements of fact that are so far removed from reality that they honestly do not bear further discussion.

I believe in indiana it is the same. I remember when i was messin with that girl from there I searched the laws before I went. Its pretty lenient.

I dont believe this for a second. The person carjacking you has to use lethal force, or at least have a weapon with them. If someone grabs your shirt through the window there is no frickin way you have the legal right to shoot to kill.. UNLESS MAYYYYBE they start to hit you, then you have self defense at least

no. and who the **** talks to you politely while carjacking you? how would you not feel threatened? come on seriously.....you arent that stupid, i know this.

believe it or not....most professional instructors will say that a woman should have a heavy revolver. Her's doesn't have as much kick as a longer barrel .357 does or as much as you'd expect. 4" barrel

This isnt the first time I have heard this. The reason one gave was because the first shot can be aimed and the follwoing shots can be from teh ground. While funny, this is possibly true. Also because they dont have to fondle with the clip, safety, reloading and such. Even though they are guns for that. But its the main reason I bought my mom that 380. no cocking blah blah blah.

Seriously. 99.9 percent of you WOULD NOT shoot two teenagers ****ing with your A/C or trying to get in your house if they had their hands up. I just dont get the whole forum/internet gangsta thing......Give it up people. He defended his shit and now he doesnt have to go to court for the POSSIBILITY of a murder charge or any other bullshit. Plus they will never come back because they probably shit their draws when they realized the situation they were in. So not only does he NOT have bodies on his conscience, teens as that, but he also can go about his life without having to deal with any legal matters for defending his shit. Great story though.
And to the people with the racist comments. I applaud your ignorance.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif

you started off good, then you went all meh, then you came back. Seriosuly I would have tried to entice them to pull whatever they had. Im just that kind of person. But only once would I have said something. After that, just let the cops deal with it.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gifI love this sht, dumbass white nigg*rs (look up the defintion before you think im throwing racial slurs). Your the reason us black people approach white people with caution or act completly ignorant (******ish) to ya. Then you turn around and assume all black people act like that all the time, ever notice nobody acted like that in the 50's-60's EXCEPT whites, so go wonder why everyone else is adapting and doing the same thing.

OK rant over, and to all the civilized white (and black) folks out there this dosnt apply to you to the rest of you, grow up and find some meaning to your life or do everyone else a favor and kill yourself

awwww man. just shut the fuck up.

thats weird. I find most of my accuracy with .45. and longer range with 9mm. I choose the .40 I have because I get the best accuracy when rapid firing.
