Armed Citizen


Four armed home invaders, at least some of whom were wearing body armor, entered a house in Halifax County, N.C. and attempted to rob the occupants. Once aware of the intrusion, the homeowner retrieved a gun and fired at the criminals, killing one and holding another at gunpoint until police could arrive.

Lt. Bobby Martin of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office informed the local media that “the gentleman that did get shot and was killed was wearing body armor,” and noted, “that is a trend we are starting to see.” Martin also made clear that the homeowner had a right to defend himself and that he will not be charged.

Good shoot. Hearing about heavily armored robbers and thugs is kind of disheartening.

Yeah it makes me want to use my rifle more than my shotgun.
