And my point is that it doesn't matter whether or not there is more to the story. Bad guys show up, bad guys get shot at. The end. 😉

Why does it matter whether it doesn't matter?

I'm going to listen to music and drink Pepsi. Discussing things with you is like arguing with jello. 😕

I'm not so bad 🙁
 
1) i'd like to put cameras around my home. i love gadgets and want to keep an eye on my place at all times

2) who the F does a broad daylight robbery in that type of car? you need a hooptie for a job like this

The homeowner is probably a drug dealer or smuggler of some kind.

That is entirely IRRELEVANT.

I have readily accessible guns..there's one with arms' reach right now, actually. Doesn't mean I'm a criminal.

but no one is actually trying to kill you by sending four want to be gangstas with zip guns. You are just one of those paranoid nuts and when you have a gun accident you will make us legitimate and safe gun owners look bad. (unless by readily accessible you mean safely stored and readily accessible.

Middle of the day, lots of heavy guns, crazy security cams... something doesn't seem legal.
 
The only thing that worries me about situations like this is if a stray bullet hit some pedestrian outside. I think it's kind of reckless to just go out there shooting, but one man vs. four armed robbers, who knows what they would have done if he had given them a chance to start shooting. It scared them off quick enough and fortunately no innocent people got hurt, so in this case, kudos to the homeowner. :thumbsup:

Generalize much? Tell me, SirStev0, do you keep all your firearms unloaded, locked and with ammunition stored separately? If so, well, they're not going to do you much good. I carry at work, I carry off work. If that makes me paranoid, then you're paranoid for wearing a seatbelt.

I'm not convinced those were 'wannabe ganstas', and they definitely didn't have zip guns. Something definitely wasn't legal, either- armed robbery comes to mind, perhaps?
 
Give it up JLee. They don't understand and are trying to make the victim somehow the criminal. An officer was gunned down here in KY in his house, single bullet to the back of the head at close range today. 🙁

Could there be more to the story? Sure. But that's for the courts and prosecution to decide and having security and home defense does not mean you are a criminal. To suggest otherwise is presumptuous at best, or plain stupid at worse.
 
This smells like a hit to me, rather than a robbery attempt. 4 gunmen with automatic weapons pulling up in a nice car. In broad daylight no less. To a house with high end security cameras.
 
Maybe I'm paranoid as well, but when I get home, a handgun comes out of hte safe and is usually within 10 feet of me. When I go to sleep, it goes back in the safe and a shotgun comes out.

In the morning when I leave for work, the shotgun goes back in the safe.

There are plenty of robberies everywhere, doesn't matter where you are. A friend lives in a neighborhood with million dollar homes and a house just down the street from him was broken into at night and a husband and wife beaten because the fuckers thought there would be cash hidden in the house.
 
Wonder if that car was stolen. Chrysler 300 on blingy wheels like that isn't a very typical getaway car. Kinda sticks out.

I wouldn't read so much into it. I don't see any editorializing, they're just stating the facts. It's not much of a stretch to relate an M16 to an AR-15 since they are related. You can't tell which it is from the video, and it definitely could be fully automatic.

So could any of the other weapons the crooks are carrying. If you're going to convert one, migh as well convert them all.

Point is, crimes committed with actual automatic weapons are SO rare, that they shouldn't assume that this was an example until the weapons in question are found.

No one ever said that pimpin' was easy.😉


I wonder if most cities' refusal to fix potholed roads is a passive-aggressive approach to fighting crime, given that large rims correlate with criminal culture and potholes keep them in the tire shop and off the streets...
