81-Year-Old Man Hits Bull’s-Eye On Intruder
One shot to the head was all it took for an elderly gentleman to bring down a home intruder. This happened in Alabama:
An 81-year-old man shot and killed a masked gunman during a home invasion early this morning at a residence north of Brewton, Escambia County Sheriff Grover Smith said.
The sheriff said the robber had been released from a Nebraska jail just two days before he was killed.
Smith declined to identify the homeowner, but said the man and his wife were in bed in their home along U.S. 31 north of town about 3 a.m. when the intruder kicked in the door to the home and entered their bedroom, demanding money.
Smith said the homeowner managed to retrieve a pistol from the bedside table and pointed it at the robber, who told the homeowner to drop the weapon.
Instead, Smith said, the homeowner fired the gun, striking the intruder in the forehead, killing him instantly.
Nice shooting and our thanks to the senior citizen for dispatching a serial criminal.
Thanks to reader Dwain S. for the email pointer to the story.
The Brady Bunch, of course, would prefer that the couple were unarmed and simply, while their blood seeped into the bed sheets, dial 911.

Speedy trial, justice served and no expense to the taxpayer.
Criminal - 0, Innocent victim - 1
Who can complain?

If the mainstream media would publicize these events, don’t you think criminals would get the message and stop?
Why is something so obvious, so hard for libtards to understand?

Now THAT is the kind of gun control I can get behind!
Well done, sir, well done!
