GOOD!

My next-door neighbor's Cayenne GTS was stolen out of the driveway 2 nights ago and these kinds of stories just make me even more determined to put an intruder down with extreme prejudice if they come in my house!

Something the 2nd Amendment-haters won't tell you, but a firearm is used 1.5-2.0 MILLION times/yr to prevent a crime - not saying this incident is an example of that - but IMHO the first line of defense vs crime is an armed citizen (not a phone call that could be put on "hold" or a response that could take 15+ minutes)

They did it the hard way having to take the weapon from the intruder. I'll bet they go out and buy a shotgun or some type of weapon after this experience.

Who would blame them? Then again the anti-gun folks will still try to enact laws banning all guns so all Americans will need to wrestle guns from criminals who will then be the only ones with such weapons.

I would go under the local police departments terminology... "fire until aggression has ceased" which means until they stop moving!

Just remember, you only get one chance to shoot the criminals after they break in... it don't matter if you unload 3 clips into them, just as long as you do it all at once. If you shoot them a couple times and they live, and you shoot them again to kill them... murder in the 1st. (explained to me by Jefferson parish sheriff's deputy)
