Merrillville home-owner defends self

[Rob54]

Residential entry suspect wounded after shooting : Merrillville

Found this in today's NW IN Times paper. A shotgun was used to prevent an intruder from entering his home!

 

[jve153]

you mean to tell me that just the sound of the shotgun was not enough to scare the intruder away, he actually had to aim and fire it at the guy to get him to stop?

Umm, I'll sit over here>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The homeowner fired one shot through the door, and the individual suffered a leg wound

Joe Biden has already changed the way America defends itself.
It was a shotgun.

I wonder how long it took the police to arrive after he shot the man. Not that it matters just curious.

 

[Rob54]

Not sure, but Merrillville usually responds quickly

To be fair, when you have inside information things get out quicker.

It's hard to make the racking sound with a trap gun.

I don't hold it against him, he obviously has better things to do with his time then follow the drivel on the GP thread. (No purple)

I understand your concern completely and had the same thoughts initially. The account of the incident in the article is very much a "lite" version, the actual account is far more threatening and serious than it sounds here. I have no concerns about criminal issues, but also understand that in our current society people will file civil suits for the most ridiculous things. I have made a choice to not live in fear of that, or fear of another attack. Those of us that cherish not just freedom, but true liberty must stand up for it and not hide in the shadows.

I will third the request that you remain quiet about this whole issue for now.
I would even take it a step further as say for you to ask the moderators to delete this entire thread. we have seen time and time again on INGO and elsewhere that anything you say will be used against you.

I will defer to the experience of the long term members here. Seems pretty consistently coming down on the one side of this issue. If the moderators are monitoring or reading this, please delete the posts I have made. Thanks for the advice.

If I need to take more actions to get the removal accomplished, someone please advise what actions woule be required.
