FL Homeowner Defends Home And Family Without Gun

[jaF0]

NORTH PORT, FL (WFLA) – A man who broke into a North Port home had to run away after he was beaten by his victims with his own weapon, North Port Police detectives said.

It happened last week in a home on Kenneth Street. Noah Dassat, 33, of California, broke into the home and attacked its occupants. Police said three children were in the home at the time of the break-in.

After the man of the house was hit, he managed to wrestle Dassat and put him in a ‘bear hug,’ detectives said. His wife grabbed Dassat’s bat and beat him with his own weapon.

Dassat escaped, running away from the house with significant injuries and without his hat and bat, according to police.

Who wants to ban bats?

While not as massive a weapon as a bb bat. Hockey sticks have much greater reach.

"Consider this: on the same night as innocent blood was flowing in Florida, a local bar in Queens, N.Y. was threatened by an armed assailant. It appears that this particular thug was not motivated by anything more than greed as he went into the Parkside Pub to rob the place, but having done so while employing a firearm, he immediately put the lives of the barkeep and four patrons inside in danger. It's a good thing for everyone involved there that a retired policeman frequenting the pub had his own weapon at hand; the ex-cop took down the criminal with one shot, no one else was harmed, and the innocents went home alive. In spite of Mr. Obama's definition of logic, it seems that an armed citizen did the logical thing with his gun, and everything worked out just fine as he protected the lives of the innocent in the face of an armed bad guy."

Plus you can slash with the hockey stick. (bonus)

Not a regular citizen. Retired cop, off duty cop not much difference. Someone who was around weapons everyday for his livelihood. There's a difference between the Joe who just wants to conceal/carry because "it's my Constitutional right" and someone who made their living being in harm's way everyday.

Anyone who fires a gun better be aware of it's penetration ability. Through and throughs can kill an innocent behind the perp. A missed shot can penetrate many layers of drywall, vinyl siding and a two by four or two.

For home defence, use a shotgun with a custom load. Light shot and possibly a half load of powder. It will stop but not kill and will scare the shit out of an intruder when someone opens up with a shotgun.

I would suggest a Taurus Judge with said loading. Think first, shoot second. You could kill your own child in the bedroom behind the bad guy if not have bullet penetrate neighbours walls next door.

I'm sure this story will be great comfort to a handicapped or elderly homeowner.

In the same situation the last thing I'd worry about is taking away the attacker's weapon and using it on him.

Oh, there's a difference alright.

But aren’t police officers “highly trained” experts in the use of firearms? The short answer is, NO. Contrary to the fantasy world of television, where law enforcement characters spend endless hours at the gun range honing their skills, in reality most police officers go to a shooting range only once or twice a year! And when they get there, they seldom shoot more than one box of ammo.

True, there are exceptions – some of my cop friends practice regularly, including participating in “combat” shooting competition. As a result, they will likely be more effective than most of their fellow officers in an actual shooting confrontation. But the problem is that they are exceptions.

Compare that to civilian handgun permit holders, many of whom practice monthly, if not weekly, and firing hundreds of rounds at each session. I am a professional firearm instructor, and I can attest to the fact that I often run into my students at the range, and they are not alone. As a result, civilians seldom hit innocent bystanders.

But even more disturbing is research by the FBI that has shown that violent criminals (those most likely to get into a shootout with police) practice as much at TEN TIMES MORE OFTEN THAN COPS:

Not surprisingly, the same study shows that the criminals are also better shots than the cops – their hit rates, in actual shoot-outs, average an astonishing 70% – they hit cops far more often than the cops are able to hit them.
