If they were already in the home, what should he do make coffee for them. I would say he did real good, one against five is pretty good gun control.

I love happy endings....Sadly, if a cop shoots a violent, young perp there is NO happy ending for the cop....Socialists truly suck. :evil:

I want to know how the victim was armed and what was his condition when the dust settled.

5-1.

Wow.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

It will be interesting to see how this unfolds as the investigation continues. Wonder what he had in his home that they wanted so badly? Or was his home randomly chosen, and they just had bad luck choosing a well armed, and prepared homeowner?
Doubt the media will cover the follow up, but hope they do.

I was thinking the same thing...why did 5 heavily armed individuals enter this residence and why the continuous fire-fight (look at the round casing flags at the scene, that's a lot of shots exchanged)? -- drugs? money? gang related retaliation? response to the bad officiating against the New Orleans Saints?

Perhaps it was as simple as the scumbags searching thru Internet Gun Sites looking for locals that seems to have large numbers of firearms on hand?? I sold all of mine years ago for just this reason.

I've had patients on pain meds who had a genuine armed, masked, home-invasion robbery - a grandkid who had helped take the old lady to her chemo appointment told some friends about all the pain meds she was prescribed.

The same can happen if someone 'tells on you' for having any valuables, including and particularly - GUNS.

Not very many homeowners are prepared without notice to repel a home-invasion.....give our side an hour or so notice, and we'll have every friend and relative and redneck armed to the teeth and on every rooftop, under every bush, and around every corner......but that's usually not the way it happens. :|

About a year back, some homeowner in Houston had upset a gang. They tried a few driveby shootings. The last one was 3 in the car. Homeowner had an AR 15 and some training. All 3 gang members died, homeowner not scratched.

I had an employee with a similar issue about 25 years ago; the drivebys had happened close together, so - at the off-the-record advice of one of the detectives working the case, they got all their redneck (including retired LEO's and ex-military) friends and relatives to take shifts, and they were under parked cars up and down the street, on rooftops, and so on for two or three days.

When the dudes came by and stuck a gun barrel out the window they only got one shot off then a barrage of gunfire but the car. Supposedly the car was beyond repair from a combination of holes in important parts and running into a tree, but the bad guys lived through it and wound up in prison for years. Probably back out by now though.

Then there was this; when a couple dozen Hilltop Crips decided to crash a unit party of Army Rangers....(I was stationed at Ft Lewis at the time and knew the homeowner mentioned).

It sucks that "When the police arrived in the drug-ridden neighborhood, they arrested two young men suspected of being crack dealers and took the soldiers' weapons, which were privately owned."

I get it, sort of, but it seems like good guys need to bury a spare gun somewhere, because if you are involved in a shooting, and thus rendered defenseless, yet at a much HIGHER risk during the subsequent times for another attack, it just seems ridiculous that disarming you is considered acceptable... :|
