Here’s an ABC News article on the story.
About a year ago Joe Horn saw a couple folks exiting his neighbors house, presumed they were robbing the place, called 911, and confronted them as they entered his yard. He the shot and killed both of them with a shotgun.
This was in Texas, and all homicides there go in front of a grand jury. They let him go.
Unless you live in Texas, don’t try that at home. Heck, even if you live in Texas it’s still not a good idea.
This weekend a handgun instructor was discussing over penetration and why you want the round to stop inside an attacker’s body when a student piped up with his own story and a heavy accent. It went something like this:
“Uh, in early 90’s there was war in Bosnia. I not sure if you heard about it here. Anyway, we see guys take five round of 7.62 by 39, go right through body, blood shooting out behind them, POW POW POW! and they keep running! They take heroin or something. It scary. Made you want to throw down gun and just start running.”
There’s a mental picture I won’t forget anytime soon.
