Anyone see this scary video of a Home Invasion?

Postby cmj685 on Thu Feb 12, 2009 5:20 am

Pretty amazing stuff. Interesting that they seem to know one of the perpetrators.

My parents live in Tucson. I was just down there a couple of weeks ago.

I love the open carry laws down there, no permit required.
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

our quarrel is not about the value of freedom per se, but stems from our opinion of our fellow men … a man’s admiration of absolute government is proportionate to the contempt he feels for those around him --Alexis de Tocqueville--

The only thing I don't like about how this was reported is this

"One of them is carrying what appears to be an AR-15 or M-16, a weapon which could be fully automatic."

It could also have been a California-legal single shot... does speculating either way do anything useful?

Sure it does. It provides useful fuel for anti's. After all, 99.9999999945547637485533245567754% of all of their claims are based on speculation. Without it, they have no case.

That and 53.46% of all statitistics are generally made up on the spot.

Everything the owner did is a crime in MN, and he would have lost his gun/s in the process.

I am in no way suggesting this kind of behavior but remember, a bullet's trajectory goes down when passing through a windshield, some more than others. So, aim high!

Wow,
I was reading some of the comments from the readers. 98% (almost entirely made up) of the comments posted there were in defense of the home owner. Some were even talking about what they would like to do to would be robbers. That alone would get you arrested up here! ;)
If this was posted on the Pioneer Press website or the Star tribune, the numbers would be reversed. 98% would be calling for the head of the homeowner because he didn't know the true intentions of the assailants or some other BS.

Oh they just need a big ole MN hug. Why we'd feed and house them, but they would face no lover trying to merge onto our freeway system :lol:

Coming from which direction?
I had always heard from outside shoot low from inside shoot high.

Rem,

You have that backwards. When shooting through a car windshield from the outside, the bullet will change direction downward.

I'm not sure about shooting from the inside. I imagine it's the opposite.
