Home Invasion 101: failure

A motivated home owner defends the castle with a Louisville Slugger from 3 aggressors with a gun!

What's not to love?!

Thanks for sharing that. I doubt I would have run across that on my own.

Neither do we have to administer an IQ Test, nor an age questionaire in Texas when an intruder is breaking into a home. We call it home invasion here. And some of those very low IQ people as well as teenagers have been guilty of horrendous crimes. And some teenagers are tried as adults in Texas. In my old age, with the problems I have, I am certain that there are young teenagers I could not handle without the equalizer. :)
 
As far as the Equalizer goes, if one doesnt do the job just get a bigger caliber and keep shooting! haha this is a funny story though! Heres you a Free Present!!!
 
invasion

home invasion seems like a real tough way to make a living. the smart crooks usually make it to ripping off the elderly etc. no wonder only the idiots do the invasion thing.

What is the definition being used for your post?

Hello Dwight,

As an American living in a third world country time capsule for the past 30 years, I just became aware of the phrase “home invasion” on this forum. Not knowing what it was, I goggled it and came up with this definition:

There is no clear definition of “home invasión”. While the use of the term has become common in recent times, it has no legal meaning. There also appears to be considerable variation in what “home invasión” actually means for police, victim and the media. According to one newspaper report (Sydney Morning Herald, 5/11/94) “home invasión” was coined by New South Wales investigators working on Task Force Oak, a specialist Asian crime unit set up in 1991. The term referred to several home raids where Asian families were “terrorised” for money by gangs of three or more people armed with shotguns and knives.

It means when someone enters I'n a residence with the intent to rob the place. It works I'n the crooks favor if no one is home. If there is someone home and they choose to defend theirself and property then you shoot crook multiple times and problem is resolved!
 
I had thought "home invasion" normally referred to intentionally breaking in / forcing in when people were home, in order to force them to hand over drugs, open safes, etc. Home invasions are deliberately violent.

Home invasion normally is not used to describe a burglar surprised by the presence of home owners.

They usually seem to occur at the homes of drug dealers; sometimes they happen because the robbers get the wrong address. Sometimes they have what was once a drug address, but is now owned and occupied by solid citizens - this happened to a couple in Missouri, which is why Missouri home sellers must now answer a disclosure as to whether a home was ever used as a meth lab.

Sometimes drugs and bad addresses are not involved. The gang who executed Byrd and Melanie Biilings near Pensacola thought Billings had a quarter million in a safe in the house... Leader of the gang was a former employee of Billings.
 
It's really a pity the guy lived.

Really ? Why ? The threat ceased to be a threat, the sad part is that someone would make such a statement, and call himself a "responsible" firearms owner. The gunwoobie surfaces again.... See the quote in my sig line by wildalaska...
 
From Florida. Shocking.

I wonder if they could tack on assault with a deadly weapon since his accomplice attempted to shoot the homeowner. Although, Mr. Clay was the actual victim of the assault so maybe that isn't completely fair. :D
 
Should be attempted murder; assault with a deadly weapon; aggravated assault; assault consummated by battery; firearm used in commission of a felony; more than likely possession of a firearm by a felon.

There is a laundry list that could be thrown at the lot (I believe in Florida, accomplices in a crime are all equally liable for charges).
 
^ I was thinking the same thing.

The only thing I could think of was that the DA is holding the laundry list of other charges to bargain with - if Clay cooperates they charge him only with home invasion robbery, if he doesn't cooperate they throw the book at him.

I wish there were money to investigate and catalog every shooting, like federal funding to the local LEAs and coroners office, and it would go in a database so we knew more about shootings in general like what caliber was used.

It would be like a federally funded Marshall & Sanow type study. It doesn't say what caliber Clay was shot with.

I suspect, but obviously have nothing to support it, that the shooter in this case had a caliber less than 9mm, I'll even venture to say it was less than 380 Auto. But it's just my guess.
 
From the link:

Investigators said one of Clay’s accomplices tried to shoot the resident, but instead inadvertently shot Clay.


Good shot placement! :)
