Deadly home invasion in Coon Rapids
Updated: 11/28/2006 08:27:35 AM Coon Rapids police are investigating a deadly home invasion that happened around 11 p.m Monday. Investigators say a 73-year-old homeowner shot and killed an intruder on Bittersweet Street Northwest. It appears the suspect entered the home by kicking in a back garage door. The homeowner fired a rifle, killing the intruder. The homeowner believes there may have been a second suspect because he thought he heard two voices. Police say the suspect was not carrying any identification. The Coon Rapids Police Department, the Anoka County Sheriff's Department and the coroner are investigating. Stay with 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS and KSTP.com for continuing coverage on this story.

As you may have guessed already, I am pro-gun rights for law abiding citizens to be able to defend themselves, because of exactly this type of thing. If he had not been able to defend himself, that man would probably be dead right now (the victim) and whoever else was in the house with him instead of the criminal.

That foolishness out of the way...I think only stupid laws protect home invaders from coming to all kinds of harm. It disgusts me that some junkie filth that would just as soon hurt or kill, could even POTENTIALLY take a homeowner to court for protecting themselves or their families/property. The guy had it coming. I am absolutely behind the right to keep a firearm in the house, provided it is kept responsibly...home invaders should accept this as a risk of their "occupation", and if they get fucked up or killed, it's on them, not on the person they've traumatised.

As long as they're aware of that risk in keeping one...I think if one IS kept in a responsible way, you'd be at less risk. I say the first measure is a decent alarm and security system, if that goes off and somebody persists, you'd be alerted to their presence in good time to fetch arms. I really couldn't see somebody getting through that, and taking a person unawares in their own house and dissarming them. I mean...if they COULD, then I probably wouldn't suggest that person owns a firearm in the first place.
I think the motto "don't take it out unless you're ready to use it" (hm...that works a few ways) is a good one...I really can't imagine if someone were ready to use a firearm and properly prepared, could not come out on top...getting shot with your own gun...I have to say that there's the mark of someone who could use a little more training (which I believe is part of responsible firearm ownership also) I say if you're gonna bear arms, be prepared for the consequences, and potential risks involved. Of course, it's a risk that I think is worth taking if it meant the difference between being able to protect your family from multiple unarmed/non projectile weapon weilding assailants, and not.

He still only has a 50% kill ratio though, and that's not great.

Oh, hush. :p :) He got the only one he saw, the other one(s) probably ran off after hearing gunfire.
