Washington State

Farmer on his way to a concert and to buy his sons some “fancy burgers” drives past some buildings he is renovating to open a store, notices strange vehicle parked there. Stops to investigate, gets vibes, gets his gun. Finds two guys behind building, one approaches with a club, farmer holds both at gunpoint until deputies arrive. The two guys were arrested for burglary, farmer and sons still make the concert but had to settle for pizza because the burger stand had closed.

Go read the whole article, it’s much more interesting than the usual homeowner-nabs-burglars crime story. I do think I would have backed off early on, having three kids in the car, but it came out OK and the kids think dad is a hero.

Would-be burglars armed with 'billy club' pick the wrong farmer to try to rob: 'I will shoot'

Washington state farmer Sam Krautscheid was forced to use his firearm to thwart two suspected burglars and held them at gunpoint until deputies arrived.

Vermont

Man breaks into home at midnight. Couple in home fire single shot, no one injured (no points for marksmanship), somehow man ends up in police custody for burglary and criminal threatening (ok, points for successfully defending the castle).

Anyone know a good drywall guy in Vermont?

Texas

Man calls sheriff, says another man (AM) tried to break into his home and man shot AM in the head (points for marksmanship). Deputies find AM two miles away, fly him to trauma hospital where he’s treated and released (to the cops I hope) with non-life threatening injuries (feel like deducting points).

Investigation underway after East Texas homeowner reportedly shoots intruder in head

That's some fine shooting.
I've seen some police shooting videos where 5+ officers unload on one guy. I was thinking man that guy must look like Swiss cheese. He was only hit four times, and only twice in the torso, and he lived.

Speaking of armed citizen stories does anyone know the real reason (by real reasons I mean not assumptions or personal theories) why the NRA quit listing the specific calibers in the stories their Armed Citizen page?
