If I woke up to somebody entering my bedroom with a gun in their hand, I hope I would have a gun within reach. This scenario has crossed my mind and all I have for a weapon is a police baton and a baseball bat.

So, these were teens...should we feel sorry that they lacked direction from their parents or guardians?

Or...is this just another case of "weeding out the thugs".


SAN MARCOS — About 2 a.m. Friday, when a San Marcos resident heard a commotion outside his bedroom, he grabbed his .40-caliber Glock pistol and opened the door, police said. When he saw a teenager pointing a gun at him, according to police, the resident fired several shots that left two Luling 16-year-olds dead and another teen seriously wounded. A fourth teen fled to escape from the gunfire, police said.

Three of the four youths appeared to be holding weapons, police say. One had a handgun, and the other two had pellet guns that looked like handguns, police said.

A fourth suspect, identified by police as Frank Castro, 17, fled from the house, in the 900 block of Chestnut Street near the Texas State University campus. San Marcos Police Chief Howard Williams said Castro escaped the house uninjured but returned to look for the other teens. Williams said police arrested him at the scene. The names of the dead and injured teens were not released.
 
Tragic. But if you create the fear in someone's mind, you have to take the consequences.

A prepared mind can give you the edge.

I'd feel sad for their upbringing after I'd neutralized the threat.
 
Wait, what happened here. I was under the impression that the most likely outcome from having a firearm in the home was that you would end up shot with it by the intruders? This is unpossible.

Dumb.
 
I might be sorry I had killed them - but probably not. I hate to lose them so young though - they still had time to change.

I don't have guns for self defense. Mine are all stored separate from the ammo and locked up.
 
well, he obviously should've raped them first. what the hell was he thinking? god, people are so dumb.

If you get a gun for self defense, do the world a favor and get training. Not only in how to use the gun but also in how to protect yourself from the inevitable legal backlash. Pull a gun on somebody in self defense in a public place, you will most likely be arrested. You will most likely need an attorney. Shoot somebody with a gun, even if in the court of public opinion it is perfectly valid, you are looking at six figures in legal fees in many instances. Information is available on how to minimize the hit to your wallet, reputation, etc. If you get a gun, seek out information on how to use it.

Then, if you get a gun, learn how to use it. Practice with it. Have a plan for home intrusions. If you are going to carry it in public, have a plan for what you need to do and say in the event of confrontations in order to protect yourself. Talk to some different attorneys on the phone and find one who is supportive of the second amendment. Because if you use a gun in self defense, you will want to call a lawyer.

I hear ya! My husband is ex-NSA Army sharpshooter with a license to carry concealed. We have guns out the wazoo here.

I don't like guns. Trust me. I can run thru the blind darkness of my home through every single room and know exactly where to swing my hand and find a bronze statuary enough to bash somebodys brains out.

Anybody, in the darkness of my home, would have no chance against me. :)
