Resident Defends Home Against Fake Officers
The resident said at least two men banged on his door and yelled "police." He was skeptical and decided to grab a gun to protect himself before he opened the door.
Three or four shots were fired into the trailer and at least one bullet was shot from the inside. The men escaped the scene once the gunfire was exchanged, according to the homeowner.

1. I prefer big dogs
A good dog would serve the same purpose, and also protect its owner in a wide variety of situations.

2. So...
the dog could have absorbed the 2 shots instead of the trailer.

Screw that. I love my dog too much for him to be a bullet stopper.

3. Teeth vs Lead
There are times when a dog would serve well to prevent crime.
Even highly trained dogs aren't %100 efective.

6. The relationship was:
criminals in the act of B&E and victim in the act of personal defense.

9. No, they "felt" the gun
when lead was screaming past their ears.

Oh, but the 2 guys outside where just there to sell Girl Scout cookies, weren't they? And they are the victims here.

11. Man defends home with evil gun is all lies.......
Is that the headline in the article? No

I'll bet some people would like it to be, but it's not.

I also didn't read that the police arrested the home owner, should we conclude that he was a wanted felon?

Maybe it was a whore house, but the author was a regular customer.

Or, could it be a simple case of attempted burglary that was detered by the legal possession of a firearm?

13. "Boo hoo hoo! They dissed my article! Boo-hoo hoo!"
Spoon...I didn't post the article, nor pretend it celebrated some grand patriotic virtue.

Don't come crying to me because some common sense questions didn't occur to you before you posted it.

Dry eyes here pal, your the one having to get creative with "common sense" in a vain attempt to discredit the article.

Anyone with "common sense" can see that.
