Thank God magazine's with more than 10 rounds are never needed...

That's a lot of people invading a home.

They likely felt their numbers would increase the chances of being successful.

The story says that "A shootout then took place between the groups, according to police. "We have multiple, multiple shell casings from several different types of guns," Miller said." My guess is these bg's didn't intend to leave the resident(s) of the home uninjured or alive. My take is the homeowner saved the lived of himself/herself and all residents or the home.

One of the comments said it was a good outcome and someone disagreed since 2 of the perps survived. It's all about neutralizing the thread, if the bg's die in that effort, so be it - but in the end, the threat was neutralized and the homeowner was safe. Good for him/her.

Oregon currently has MANY anti-guns bills before their state legislature. Among them is one which would limit the capacity of ALL firearms to 5 rounds...not sure how that will work out with revolvers since most all of them are 6 rounds. Imagine if you were faced with this TX homeowners situation and only had a 5 round capacity. The only question at that point is whether you want a casket funeral or to be cremated.

I love a story with a happy ending.

He / they still have to deal with the aftermath. It doesn't end when the slide locks back.

No, it doesn't. Won't surprise me if a grand jury "no bills" the homeowner.

There's more to it than just a no bill, or exempt from civil lawsuit.

I never said it was. I guess I should just leave this thread alone.

Well....the criminals would only have five rounds as well so it would be a fair fight......

Almost the exact same thing happened to my friend's uncle about 15 years ago. In California. It took a long bit for his life to get back to normal.

I'm more than a little impressed by this guy. Wonder what his background is. Handy with the steel.
