Homeowner Uses Christmas Deer Rifle To Nab Suspect
From The Charlotte Observer:
A south Charlotte homeowner held a shooting suspect at gunpoint in his garage until police could arrive and arrest the man. . . .
It just so happened that at that moment, Davis, Jr. had been showing off his early Christmas present – a brand new deer rifle. As the family ran upstairs, Davis, Sr. grabbed the rifle, loaded it, and headed to the garage. He cornered the man behind his car and told him to put his hands up.
Shame that the first game is a slimeball... Hope the rifle gets more use in the field.

this is a good argument for anti gun people because a gun prevented a crime. OMG, that could never happen right?

Hate to say it, but where I live, they'd arrest the guy who defended his house, and take his guns for the rest of his life.
