Two Men Use Girl As Human Shield - Until Her Father Guns Them Down

#11  Brovo.

Shotguns might be better for home defense. A 9mm might go through your wall and kill a neighbor. Shot gun pellets are less likely to and they spread with distance. The sound of a round being chambered on a pump shotgun is unmistakeable. Any crook with half a brain will run.

#10  There is an episode of Best Defense very similar to this, except instead of being jumped outside starting the car a toddler unlocks the door after hearing a knock.

#9  As far as I know, I am neither a threat nor a debtor, but I have stopped answering knocks on my door - unless I am notified ahead of time that someone is paying a visit.

#8  Given that fact, Anguper, I amend my comment - perhaps Dad was a threat not a debtor.

#7  "McClinton was charged with shooting another man. Charges were eventually dropped due to lack of witness participation."
They'd best stop answering any and all knocks on their front door.

#6  Notice that Dad and the perps were the same age. Bet daughter was being used to extract debt repayment from Dad, or atonement for some other 'sin' against the perps employer.

#5  This sort of thing will probably happen with increasing regularity as the fabric of society increasingly wears thinner and thinner.

#4  Terrell......? Why do the perps insist upon using the same names ?

#3  Sounds like the kind of neighborhood where you want to maintain a clear field of fire.
Good on 'em.

#2  Mom may need some more range time.

Did the daughter pee on herself and vomit?
