Considering the asshole got shot twice with a shotgun, I'd say he lucked up.
I'd much rather the shooter finished the job and saved the taxpayers a few bucks, but this still works.\

Fayetteville, N.C. — A homeowner in Fayetteville was defending himself and won't face charges for a shooting on his property Sunday night, said Dan Grubb of the Fayetteville Police Department..

Grubb said an armed man walked into the front yard of 299 Decatur Drive around 11:30 p.m. Sunday and forced two women inside the home at gunpoint. Mikey Deshannon Campbell, 36, came out of a bedroom with a shotgun and fired twice, hitting the attacker in the side, Grubb said.

"The homeowner has no time to sit back and debate whether or not the guy is serious or what his intentions are, if the gun is real or not real. You know, he doesn't have that kind of time," Grubb said.

The suspect, Armon Leroi Mattox, 27, of 1508 Palmer Drive, fled on foot and was brought by an acquaintance to a nearby fire station, police said.

He was transported to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center and later transferred to UNC Hospitals for treatment of injuries police said were not life-threatening. He's expected to face kidnapping and assault charges,

His acquaintance, identified as Kendall Leon Wortham, 27, of 238 Partners Way, was charged with possession of cocaine during the incident.

Both men are repeat offenders.

Police are investigating the incident.

Thats why the my shotgun has OO and Slugs in it . I have seen several people survive getting shot with bird shot from close range and survive relatively unharmed .

That's why some of us refer to OO as "Turdshot".
 
Re: Home Invasion Nets Loser a Trip to Hospital

homeowner has the right idea , just needs some practice . imho bird shot is perfect for home def. less likely to go thru the house and kill a neighbor . #7.5 is far more devasting @ 7 yds than slugs or 00B .
more armed citzens are the answer to our crime problem .

And the attorneys have a harder time showing intent to kill...
 
Re: Home Invasion Nets Loser a Trip to Hospital

UMMM, the article made no reference to shot load, may have even been a slug. The Christian thing to do would be to find the shooter, and give him some coaching on "center of mass", another box of shells, and a hearty atta boy. He damn sure saved those women some grief!
 
Re: Home Invasion Nets Loser a Trip to Hospital

the home owner much have had a case of the nice - in other words he stopped before the job was complete. My training dictates that you fire until the threat is down and neutralized.
