Well done young man, well done.

And now for some good news....




Homeowner's son shoots, kills three would-be burglars
Published March 27, 2017
· FoxNews.com

Three would-be robbers were shot and killed Monday when an Oklahoma homeowner's son opened fire on them with an AR-15, authorities said.

Wagoner County sheriff's deputies were called to the home in Broken Arrow, southeast of Tulsa at around 12:30 p.m. local time. When they arrived, they found the three dead suspects and two uninjured residents.

Sheriff's spokesman Deputy Nick Mahoney said the suspects enetered the home through a glass back door with the intent to burglarize it. It was not immediately clear why they picked that home.

Mahoney said the suspects encountered the homeowner's 19-year-old son, who opened fire after an exchange of words. Two of the suspects died in the home's kitchen while a third was found in the driveway.

Nice job. I'd issue him an Expert badge for the AR 15 as well.

Link to the local (Tulsa) paper article, with comments.

Funny, I didn't see one comment expressing remorse for any potential Dindu Nuffins. Outstanding.

Glad to see it turned out good for him and he had the presence of mind to do what he needed to do.

I hope he does well from this point and is able to drive on!

Only bad thing about shotgun for home defense is "pinpoint" accuracy. Otherwise I agree, shotgun best home defense weapon!

With the correct ammo selection (Federal Flitecontrol) single hole at all HD ranges is as "pinpoint" an shotgun with buckshot can be.
I would think that for most people, recoil management is the issue.

For the record, I rotated the shotty out of HD duty in favor of an AR loaded with 65gr SGK.

LOL, he said the "R" word.........

Ever since females and sissy men joined law enforcement they have whined about shotgun recoil, so in order to appease the snowflakes the ammo makeers have introduced "low recoil" shotgun ammo.

Soon Special Operations will also be enjoying the very same snowflake ammunition as more females apply and pass the "reduced standards" training courses.

Have you seen the follow-on "green" replacement for the M855 round?

The reason Joe likes shotguns is that they are multi use. Self defense, hunting and as a bong.
