Subdeacon Joe Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 https://www.fox13news.com/news/south-carolina-veteran-uses-butt-of-his-shotgun-to-kill-home-intruder-who-attacked-his-wife Quote JACKSON, S.C. - A South Carolina armed home invader who attacked a 79-year-old woman near her back door is dead after the victim’s 82-year-old Vietnam War veteran husband beat him down with the butt end of a shotgun earlier this week, according to local authorities. Herbert Parrish snatched the firearm off a wall mount after the suspect, identified as 61-year-old Harold Runnels, broke into the home with a knife, knocked his wife to the ground and slashed her forehead Monday afternoon, Columbia, S.C.-based FOX 57 reported. Took the time to assess the situation and acted accordingly. Not, as certain politicians claim, eagerly opened fire and just blasted away at random.

Yeah, "elsewhere" is the operative place in this case since, "A South Carolina armed home invader who attacked a 79-year-old woman near her back door is dead" I'll grant that it isn't the most well written article and headline I've ever seen.

Blackwater 53393 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Considering the price of ammunition, this looks like a prudent use of a firearm!! You can bet your sweet bippy that the anti-gunowner crowd will count this among the “gun-violence” deaths!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I keep a loaded gun; it's in a pistol safe with the finger pad combination lock that I can open in 1.5 seconds. That's much better than keeping the ammo separate. If I ever need to use it, I'd rather use it the way it was intended -- with ammo. But this guy gets an "A" for resourcefulness.

I give him an A+ for using what was probably a wall hanger to defend himself and his wife. There is a fair chance he defaulted to his US Army basic training, he essentially butt stroked the guy to death with a shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that he grabbed the shotgun, looked at the situation, decided that if he shot he would hit both the thug and his wife, so used the other end.

Pure speculation here, but I also imagine the guy butt stroked the suspect a LOT more than once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 IMO, this is a prime example of gun control. Kudos to that old badass. The perp got to suffer punishment for awhile before being dispatched to face his maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
