The supposedly "good guy" gun owner thread

Teen Shot Inside Own Home

At 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Angela Juvera heard a frantic knock at her front door.

She looked out and saw the little boy who lives in the house next to her.

"He's like, 'Can you come next door? My brother was shot.'"

Juvera scooped up some towels and ran to help. She says her 16-year-old neighbor was sitting on the porch with his leg covered in blood.

Police say the teen was shot while sitting in his own living room. A 30-year-old now faces charges of reckless endangerment. Police tell 11 News Lynelle Fredeen was drunkenly handling a gun in the basement when it went off.

“It traveled through the basement ceiling, which would be the floor of the upstairs living room, and struck a 16-year-old male who was seated on a couch in the living room...went through his leg and up into a ceiling portion of the residence,” explained Sgt. Richard DuVall with the Colorado Springs Police Department.

So, you have scoured the internet and this is all you have? How many good guys with guns do we have in this country? 150 million...or so...
The left's hysterical fear of the gun is hilarious at times.
 
A Craigslist deal went wrong resulted in the victim of a carjacking pulling a gun on the suspect and holding him at gunpoint on the side of the interstate. The owner of a Dodge Charger went to the home of a potential buyer, Marcus Forbes, who he found on Craiglist. The car's owner took several friends.....

Thanks for confirming you didn't watch the video and thanks yet again for confirming that word of his show (not the one in my link) has hit your world of thought.

what is that your third post in this thread where you have been flat out wrong, misrepresented information, or just completely off base?

"Good guys" fight for their second amendment rights forgetting about the first amendment rights of others.

lol what a bunch of bs
guy shooting a moms demand action sign = threats
posting a video of a caller calling in a report of a lawful activity = putting school teacher in crosshairs
old guy jumping into alex jones face and him not backing down = bullying

wonder if we should bring up the anti gunners saying nra members should have their children shot,

you use to have some form of value in your arguments now you're just sad. welcome to ignore. i take that back, you did do one positive thing, you made a thread for me to post positive gun stories.
 
Man kills home invasion suspect in St. Clair County

ST. CLAIR COUNTY, IL (KTVI)– A 72-year old man defending his home fired one shot at a man who broke down his back door Thursday afternoon in a rural area south of Cahokia. The suspected burglar fled the house but collapsed and died on the driveway in the 2100 block of Imbs Station Road.

The St. Clair County Sheriff`s Department is investigating the crime as a residential burglary. Under Illinois law the crime will not be classified as a home invasion . Intruders must know someone is at home when they break-in for the crime to be identified as a home invasion.

Capt. Scott Weymouth said they do not expect any charges to be filed against the homeowner who used a handgun to stop the burglar.

A neighbor told FOX2 News there have been several burglaries in the neighborhood and he had seen the blue Intrigue being driven in the area before. Detectives are still working to identify the dead man. He had no identification with him and the car`s Illinois license plate did not match the vehicle. He is described as a black male in his mid-fifties.

That went right over your head.

I'll take it that you don't understand how restrictions to the second amendment work. Luckily the SCOTUS explained it further in the Heller ruling, "Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues."

There's definitely a reading comprehension issue going on here. Maybe you missed the assault, spitting, threats and bullying. Exactly the people who shouldn't have weapons. And as you pointed out, when they involve themselves in any illegal activities they're no longer a good guy with a gun.

If you need to ignore me to justify your position, feel free to do so.

You would like to see access to weapons restricted so much that only a select few will be able to acquire them thus leaving only the criminals having them. Like DC and Chicago...How are the crime rates there?
Do I not have a right to protect my family? Most on the left, you included, would like for me to be helpless for the 20 or so minutes it would take police to show up at my house. Not me, Im injecting them with copper and lead in the first minute after the punks come into my home.

Shooting the first guy sounds just, but shooting a fleeing bad guy sounds wrong to me. Happy to hear he is safe never the less.....

I'd have shot him too. But being an Iraq vet, I know all to we'll about letting em go when you don't know if there are others he's running to get.

Bottom line, I have no idea what someone breaking into my house intends, and I won't risk being overpowered when I have a wife and kids in the house.

The intruder has already proven the law isn't a barrier. You come come into my house, you get the .40. And yes, my wife knows where it is too- even though she is irrationally afraid of it.
 
Rule-of-thimb in my neighborhood for burglars is this: when they come to house with an old tire hanging by a chain from a tree, they keep going, 'cause they know a gun lives in that house.

Hmph, generalizations again. Believe it or not, I have absolutely zero problems with individuals owning firearms. Not once have I said that people shouldn't have them. Never. If you feel you need one to protect your family, please do so. If you're into sport shooting or hunting, I have no problem with that either. I don't own one personally, but I have gone to the range a number of times.

I am however for more sensible gun laws. Which somehow makes me an "anti-gunner" and against guns. The problem is a sensible gun conversation has been hijacked. That's another discussion though.

Your DC and Chicago examples are interesting. I assume you're referring to gun crimes in cities that have/had gun ownership restrictions. Before Heller in 2008 and McDonald in 2010, do you know how many gun stores there were in DC and Chicago? Zero. Which feeds into my prior point about more sensible gun laws. Regional laws don't mean much when surrounding localities are not consistent and private sales fall into a gray area.

Dont get me wrong, in that situation i may very well have done the same. there is no telling if after he got out of the window if he would have turned and fired. In this state i think they would have charged hi, but hey that is the reason i'm leaving this state.
 
I own several firearms, two of which are pistols, one of which I carry with me 24/7. None of my friends or family (sans my brother because his kids visit often) even knows I own said firearms and no one except myself knows I have a CCW and that I carry every time I leave my house. I've never had to use them or threaten to use them but I would, without hesitation, use them (effectively I might add) if the situation called for it.

And you know what those that I would be protecting would say if I did?

"Thank you"

Good people do bad things all the time, it doesn't take a firearm for them to do it either.

In America if a guy blows up a building they blame the bomber, if a guy kills someone while driving a car drunk they blame the driver, if someone kills someone with a gun they blame the gun.

I don't think that's accurate. Prisons are filled with people who have used guns to kill people. They don't lock up the guns. Its when something as horrible as Sandy Hook happens that people look at gun laws with scrutiny. I live in a state that allows guns to be carried in bars. Imo that's one of the worst places to allow someone to carry a gun.
