Wheelchair-bound Marion County man shoots home invader to death
December 18th, 2009
Gary Wroblewski says he was watching television in the Silver Springs Shores neighborhood off County Road 464 late Monday night when someone knocked on his door.
Wroblewski slightly cracked open the door and found a man claiming he needed help with his broken down car. He says he was immediately suspicious of the man and his story.
“So I went and got my gun. I held it behind the door and I opened the door,” said Wroblewski.
Wroblewski says he tried to send the man away and suggested he go to another house or call AAA. He says that is when another man, this one wearing a mask, appeared out of nowhere and forced his door open.
Wroblewski was knocked out his wheelchair but was able to hold onto his gun and shot the masked invader.
This is a great example of why even the magic wand solution to gun control, the one where all guns everywhere disappear forever, would be a Bad Thing. The story doesn’t say whether the bad guys had any weapons whatsoever, but if the homeowner had not had a gun he would have been powerless.
The same thing goes for old people, women, and most men. You do not want to fight a bad guy on even terms.
