Just a Derned Minute...

Man Opens Fire on Fake FBI Agents...



...that's awesome! Does anybody remember the Florida "castle doctrine"? In 2005, Florida rejoined the free world where a person can defend their house (presumably because that is the one place where you should be totally safe).

...So these burglars, or potential robbers (yes, there is a difference) are breaking into the house dressed as FBI Agents, and the homeowner opens fire on them.

Unfortunately this scenario (minus the victim taking action) has become a familiar scenario in Florida, Texas, and Arizona. Sometimes the victims are illegal immigrants, and the bad guys know they will think they are real police, or FBI, and they won't resist. Sometimes the bad guys just don't want neighbors calling the police during the burglary - why would you call the police, they are already there.

Anyway...if bad guys thought people were armed in their houses, less bad guys would enter other people's houses...

Too bad Dad didn't have a hidden camera in his living room when he shot himself in the foot. Wouldn't that have made a funny video???

Tis no doubt folks hafta feel safe in their own homes or chaos will run rampant in the streets. If individuals deem it is their right to invade the sanctity of anothers property they should accept the consequences of the actions, whether it is a .22, .38 special or the trusty .44 mag.

That and Inno has a cookie debt outstanding.

Don't remember Dad shooting himself in the foot but I do remember him shooting a hole in the bedroom ceiling. I am going to have Dad teach me how to shoot as it is getting very dangerous here in AZ.
