Sometimes The Good Guys Win.

Yes they do! And, since the hoplophobes in the news media would rather bury this story; I decided to dig it up.

College student shoots and kills violent Home Invader:

" "Apparently, his intent was to rape and murder us all," said student Charles Bailey."

Boy, second time in an hour I've read an article online just packed with epic quotes.

At first I read that as "homophobes" and I was reading the article trying to work out what the relevance was.

Although I have to say, I wouldn't think of aversion to weapons as a phobia, in the same way that I wouldn't think of aversion to lions as a phobia. =P

Being afraid of getting shot while living in South Central L.A. is one thing, but there are folks out there who have a paranoid fear of certain objects. Even ones just sitting on a table.

Hey, I don't care if the lion is sitting in the chair smoking a pipe, it's still a fucking lion.

Surely such a travesty could never occur!

Hehe.

Well, honestly I don't think the kid should have taken that many shots. He shouldn't have to. Like Sean Connery said in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, "If you can't do it with one bullet, don't do it at all."

I really don't feel sorry for the two assailants, but I wouldn't put the kid on a pedestal just because he shot somebody. Obviously he had horrible aim, and had no business even possessing a gun. Stories like this should be the Democrats best defense against the NRA and other pro-gun organizations. That kid is exactly the reason guns SHOULD be banned. If the two morons that broke in didn't have guns, and the kid didn't have a gun, it could have been solved with blunt objects, and at least kept the one girl from being shot SEVEN TIMES!!!

if you were in that situation with a gun, you'd be scared shitless and aim blindly into space. At least he got the job done

and where'd you get seven shots from?

You are high off your fucking mind if you think making guns illegal would solve this. Have you ever heard of the black market? The criminals still would have had guns and the students would have been defenseless.

But you right about one thing, she wouldnt have been shot seven times and lived. She would have been shot once in the fucking skull and so would have all the other people.

The problem isnt law abiding citizens. Guns are here and criminals will always have access to them. Banning private gun ownership would be even more of a travesty than prohibition. If you wanna see america in chaos, keep shitting on the second amendment

Dude, seriously??

I only ask cause I know it's you.

I know some martial artists look down their nose at firearms use. Many don't even look at combat training as an Art. (With James Keating being the huge exception to that rule).

Still, this is a perfect example of firearms being used responsibly by a Defender. You simply are not going to stop people from having guns. In the "good old days," kids made improvised firearms out of pipes, nails, and bits of wood. The U.S. Army Survival manual from the late '60s even included a section on how to build a one-shot shotgun. My personal collection of military photos even includes a pic of an Air-force pilot sitting with one next to him.

A more realistic situation would be the Home Invaders having guns, and no one else being armed. (I bet they were counting on it, when the stormed in).

Overall, he did pretty well for someone fighting for his very existence. One bullet is unrealistic. You keep shooting til the threat is stopped. It's why cops carry a minimum of two reloads for their service pistols. One bullet is rarely enough. As for the girl who was wounded in the crossfire, she's better off not having been raped; and possibly murdered so that there wouldn't be any witnesses. I'm sure she would have prefered getting out with a scratch and then living happily ever after. But sometimes, it's about doing the best you can; under horrible circumstances.

Basically, it's about a guy who successful used a gun for self-defense. It doesn't make him or the NRA look bad. If it did, the story would be all over the local nightly news, and in all of the major papers.
