When Someone Asks "Why Do You ALWAYS Carry Your Gun?" Good Reason Here!

What would you do if you returned home and discovered your family was being held hostage? The story isn't complete but it has enough in it to certainly answer the question.

Snip: "Once inside the home, the victim was ordered downstairs, at which time he was reportedly shot in the back by the assailant while walking down the stairs.

The victim was then able to return fire.

"The victim managed to get a firearm and he returned fire," striking the shooter, McCauley said."

So the shooter was able to shoot the shooter? I sure wish newspapers would write properly. "The criminal shot the home owner/victim in the back, who then returned fire, hitting the criminal."

No need for a gun in your home right? I wonder what WAVE would say about this.

As little as possible...

That we should just cower in our OWN HOMES, give the robber what he wants and hope for the best :banghead:

Well, when it's legal for me to carry I always do because I don't know when a criminal will make an error in victim selection & think that I look like his next meal.

I know someone via OCDO who was held in a home invasion (in the Milwaukee area), had a gun to the back of his head, thought he was going to die, etc.
Obviously he didn't.
But AFAIK he's carried concealed since that attack, years before it was legal.
I think the court would agree that he had a really good reason to fear for his life, if those criminals (who were eventually caught & convicted, in part on his testimony) could get word to their friends who weren't currently in prison.
