[DGU] The 'Defensive Gun Use' Thread

[Alamo]

Taylor Texas, north of Austin

Last Monday, 23 yo carrying a knife with a sheath inscribed “Hail Hillary Satan” unlawfully entered a home at 2330+/- and was shot by homeowners. Police found him lying back outside on the porch with a gun shot wound to the hip. Police have a warrant waiting for him when he is released from hospital. Police have no charges for homeowner, DA will review case. Shouldn’t be a problem, classic castle doctrine.

Corpus Christi Texas back in July 2021

Man broke into house about 1630 and started looking around, apparently for things to steal. Homeowner shot him once … and then took him to the hospital. A bit above and beyond I think.

Text of linked article doesn’t mention break-in part but accompanying video does.

Highland County Florida

62-year-old man with long criminal history enters house and shoots 69-year-old wife in the face, wounding her. 69-year-old husband engages 62 year old and stabs him to death.

More dramatic retelling of this incident:


From the Sheriff’s briefing:

after the wife was shot, the husband “armed himself with what was described as a seven inch garden knife. Once armed with the knife he went to work on Mr. Lindsay Glenn. Ultimately Mr. Lindsay Glenn was cut to pieces and was very much deceased by the time the deputies could get to him.”

The Sheriff then goes on to describe Lindsay Glenn’s career as an altar boy and his multiple attendances at seminary school.

ETA: the Hori Hori japanese garden knife sold by Amazon has a 7 inch blade. Just saying.

I had no idea I needed a gardening knife until today.

And I don't even have a garden, or a place for one...

I am happy to see examples where the home owner is not immediately charged.

It really is a bad idea here to enter someone’s house if you don’t belong in it.

If only Indiana would take after Texas on some of the rules of engagement.

I don’t think the written rules are that much different, but the spirit of application might be.

This thread is ~ 100+ pages, you can find many examples. Not all shootings are charged as crimes. Regardless of what MSM wants you to think.

Okay.
Not "exactly" a 'DGU'.

Police shoot a bank hostage taker... in the forehead... THROUGH A COMPUTER MONITOR.

Add two seconds and it was a .308 round with some silicone chips.

Bank shot w/o narrative and w/o shot censored.

Gives a whole new meaning to "bank shot".
