Cry me a river...

Yep. If one comes face to face with someone that breaks into their home wearing all black, masks, carrying brass knuckles and a knife, I think it's reasonable for that person to believe that they're going to get beaten and stabbed to death. I've seen folks get really brave and stupid in training when the knives and guns are fake and the fists are in padded gloves. When you take away the pads and put real blades and blunt instruments in people's hands, the dynamic does a 180.

Yup. I wouldn't care if the intruder was armed or not, or if it was one on one. The intruder would get shot, probably without warning.

I am 6'6" and 280#, but I also have a heart/lung condition and a bad back that goes out if I sneeze the wrong way. I am in no shape to get into a hand to hand fight, and wouldn't try even if I was. Such things go bad real quick - BTDT.

So maybe the home defender should only have had in each hand a .44 mag to more level the playing field so to speak??

"Rodriguez, a mother-of-three in need of rent money, drove 19-year-old Maxwell Cook, 16-year-old Jake Woodruff, and 17-year-old Jacob Redfearn — who she says all lived with her — to the Wagoner County home. They first stole liquor, speakers, and a machete from the garage"…I'm not sure how any what they stole would help this poor struggling single mother pay her rent

Two words. De nile.

Its not just a river in South American.

That happened back in 2017, I'm genuinely confused as to why that story didn't mention that and what was the actual point of running that story right now is

Man Who Lost Grandson In Wagoner County Robbery Wants Changes Made To ‘Stand Your Ground’ Law

Grandfather Of Oklahoma Teen Killed By Homeowner’s Son During Burglary Says AR-15 Made For An ‘Unfair’ Fight

Leroy Schumacher, the grandfather of a slain Oklahoma burglar, decided to speak out after his 17-year-old grandson Jacob Redfearn died.

taphaps.com

"…he said that the AR-15 gave the homeowner's son an "unfair" advantage over the three burglars"

I dunno, two against three is not really such an unfair advantage.

There's a basket full of my wife's gardening tools next to my front door, some of which are rather sharp, so if someone unarmed broke into my house from there I would definitely see him reaching for that basket.

 

[Nutty4Guns]

Boo Hoo!

3 vs.1, but he had an unfair advantage? Please!

I figured it was along the lines of 'baiting the click'

Yeah... because it's completely unheard of that someone breaking into another persons home has EVER cause any bodily harm to the residents, right... only there for your shtuff? The brass knuckles and knives where simply for their own protection, right?

I would love to ask the grandfather if he would have gotten his panties as tightly wound if his grandson had been shot and killed with a G19 instead. I mean... that's more "fair". Right?

Of course it was his grandsons first time, and if he had gotten away with it to begin with, he never would have done a repeat performance into anyone elses home, right? Give me a break....

Yup. I sometimes leave a splitting axe outside by my firewood pile.

It is a hard concept to grasp.
