Armed Citizen - Special
03.02.06My brother in law, originally from Georgia just sent me this. Awhile back he had told me about his uncle having to shoot a guy who was charging him in his own home. We were wondering if it was gonna make it in the Armed Citizen section of all the NRA magazines, and sure enough. I just got this in the inbox.
Hey bro, Remember me telling you about my uncle? Well, he’s famous now. His story was in this months armed citizen.
And here’s the story.
Savannah Morning News, Savannah, GA, 12/15/05
As he watched an intruder run from his living room and climb out a window, a 75-year-old man thought for a moment that the danger was gone. But police say that when he turned around, a second intruder was coming at him. The homeowner fired a handgun once, hitting and killing the intruder. ‘He reacted,’ said police Lt. Carl Fletcher. ‘That was his reaction to protect himself and his property.’ According to authorities, the man had been in the county jail 12 times in the past three years. His alleged accomplice was later arrested and charged with burglary.
I am glad your bro-in-law’s uncle was not another statistic. Thugs seem to think the elderly are no problem to attack. Unless they have an equalizer, the thugs are probably correct.

But the blasted politicians for some no-brained idea, just want to render all law abiding citizens defensless.
Thank God for the politicos who do have brains.
# March 3rd, 2006 at 10:13 amI love those heartwarming stories. I swear, the Armed Citizen page makes me feel like my NRA membership is almost worth it.
# March 3rd, 2006 at 7:22 pmNever forget that your NRA membership is ALWAYS worth it. I know theres complaints about “annoying calls” and wasted advertising.
But nobody defends your right to keep and bare arms like the NRA does. Nobody strikes fear in the hearts of gun-grabbers like the NRA.

Jarrid told me about this right after it happened. I love stories like this, makes your feel all warm inside. I wonder if there is a section of hell reserved for folks trying to take advantage of elderly people??
