‘Complainant had a gun pointed at a subject’

December 22nd, 2008

Found by JR from Blanco County, Texas:

Disturbance. 2:28 AM. A complainant had a gun pointed at a subject who had broken into the residence. Officers responded and secured the situation. The subject was released to his parents.

Writes JR:

That homeowner showed commendable restraint. I wonder if staring down the barrel of a gun was one of those “life altering” moments for this kid?

Murdoc hopes that he’d never shoot anyone who didn’t absolutely need shooting. However, if I don’t know for sure (and if you’re in my house at 2:28 am without an invite I’m pretty sure I won’t know for sure) there’s not much margin for error.

    Something compels me to add the Mass angle to every one of these stories I read.

    That is, if you held someone at gunpoint in MA, even if he was in your house at oh-dark-thirty, you can expect a helluva lot of grief from the cops and your friendly local prosecutor.

    You might even be on a fast track to losing your permit if your police chief feels like being a prick.
