Alexander Erion Neal, 20...and two other armed men had kicked in the door and were trying to rob the house, when they encountered an elderly couple and their adult sons, police said. One of the sons, who is in his 20s, was armed with a high-powered rifle, Lt. Brian Whitten said. The man opened fire on the intruders, killing Neal in the doorway.How sad--another "child gun death."
Don't these people realize the statistics about a gun in the home? They're lucky the assailants didn't take that rifle and use it against them.
And "high-powered"? I wonder what it will turn out to be...
... probably a .22 Mag ...
ReplyDeleteI don't consider anything smaller than 30-06 to be "high power", but that's a subjective judgment.
Screw 'em, Anybody who kicks in another's door with robbery or anything else on his mind deserves whatever he gets.
ReplyDelete.22, 30-06, .50, or hand-grenades.
Saves the state the expense of a trial. Of course the sorry SOB's mother will probably file a civil suit against the homeowner.
Anything larger than a standard pistol caliber is considered by most punters to be "high powered".
ReplyDeleteI may wander off to look at my .375H&H Mag Encore and various .223 Ackley pistols and giggle.
Define "standard pistol caliber".
ReplyDeleteWhat about a handgun like the FN FiveSeveN? That's a wickedly fast round for a handgun. Is it "high power"
.44 Mag is a common round, I would say it's more "high power" than a 5.56 NATO.
Arbitrary terms mean nothing.
