When are people going to learn that Texas is not the place to steal things?

After a pair of criminals tried to break into a home in the Lone Star State, one of them was rewarded with a shot in the head by the homeowner.

Drama Unfolding

This was not your run-of-the-mill home invasion.

It all started when two men tried to force their way into a Houston home.

A woman was in her driveway, headed to her front door, when two men approached her.

They took her purse and tried to force their way into the home.

Then, suddenly, the husband appeared, having heard the commotion outside.

Unfortunately for the two suspects, he grabbed his gun before heading outside.

Seeing his wife in danger, the man opened fire on the two criminals, and hit one of them in the head.   The second suspect then fled the scene.

Good Guys with Guns

If liberals had their way, this scenario would have been much different.

Liberals don’t want private citizens to have guns.

If that was the case, these two criminals would have been able to force their way into the home — and who knows what types of horrors would have befallen the couple at that point.

Thankfully, though, both of them can rest easy thanks to the Second Amendment.

At last report, the second suspect was still at large.

The suspect who was shot was still in critical condition after surgery.

Home Owner Stops Home Invasion with AR-15

.

The last thing Johnathan Haith expected to happen when he went to bed on May 11th was to be using the AR-15 he kept underneath his bed to help him defend his life the next day.

Yet that’s exactly what happened when Haith of Henderson, North Carolina woke up on May 12th.

Haith said he was still sleeping early in the morning when he heard a light knock come from the back of his house around 9:45 am.

Woken up by the disturbance, Haith said he immediately heard a loud crash coming from the laundry room following the initial sound.

Haith quickly ducked beneath his bed, grabbed his AR-15 and ventured out into his house.

That’s when Haith was greeted by an armed intruder.

“I crouched down, grabbed the firearm and was walking up the hallway… As soon as I poked my head around the corner I saw a tall male standing there with a gun.”

Apparently the intruder hadn’t expected anyone to be home and was surprised to see Haith.

That’s when things went code red.

“He shot first, I shot second,” Haith said. “He missed and I reckon I connected.”

“I guess I did the right thing,” Haith said. “I just reacted the best way possible.”

The intruder was struck in the stomach and immobilized.

Haith, on the other hand, sustained no injuries in the attack.

Police were able to apprehend the intruder Gregory Julian Johnson, 23, as well as his accomplice Michael Stroman, 32, who was his getaway driver.

Johnson was listed in critical condition.

In the growing debate on gun control and defending the ownership of so-called “assault rifles,” Haith joins a growing contingent of Americans who use weapons for purposes of self-defense.

It’s estimated that every year guns are used in self-defense on an average of 2.5 million times.

And out of those 2.5 million times, less than 8% of the time are the aggressors wounded or killed.
