Armed Good Guys: ‘Better Come in Ready’

April 5, 2019 by David Dolbee 3 Comments

News stories of civilian self-defense seldom receive adequate media coverage. After all, armed good guys stopping violent felons does not make headlines like the lives of innocents being taken. Bias and agendas play their part, but the media does not cover an event that did not happen, such as a case where a good guy stopped a violent event before it resulted in the loss of innocent life. However, these are exactly the type of stories we need to highlight to educate non gun owners before they head to the voting booth.

Arizona Homeowner Shoots, Kills Suspected Intruder, Injures Another

An Arizona homeowner shot and killed a suspected intruder and injured another man when the duo tried to break into a house Saturday, police said.

Michael Ahumada, 34, was killed when he and another unidentified man tried to break into a home in Phoenix just after 1 a.m. Saturday.

“That’s when the homeowner shot them. One of them passed away from their injuries and the other was taken to the hospital,” Phoenix Police Sgt. Jamie Rothschild said, adding that anyone with information regarding the incident should contact authorities.

The man who was injured in the incident was said to be in critical but stable condition as of Saturday.

The homeowner told AZFamily.com in a brief interview that he won’t hesitate to defend himself again in a future break-in.

“If they come in… [they] better come in ready,” the homeowner said.

It’s unclear if the homeowner will face charges in the deadly shooting.


Armed Ohio Realtors Turn Tables on Would-be Attacker

WKRC (CBS Cincinnati) reported recently that two realtors—a father and son team—were forced to use their legally-concealed handguns to defend themselves when they were threatened by a violent intruder inside a vacant property.

“He told us he had a gun and a knife. He was either going to shoot us or stab us and he punched me in my face.”

From the article:

The house on S. 11th St. in Hamilton is vacant but last month, Kyle Morrical and his father, Phil Morrical III, got a call that someone had broken in.

The next day, the Morricals went out to the property and found Derek Miller inside.

Kyle Morrical described the encounter, “He told us he had a gun and a knife. He was either going to shoot us or stab us and he punched me in my face,” Kyle said.

Phil said, “When I thought he could be a threat to Kyle, yeah I got involved physically with him and I’ll be 63 in May and I forgot all about that. It was about my son and making sure this thing did escalate to somebody being harmed or killed.”

Kyle pulled his gun. He and his father have CCW permits. Fortunately, Kyle did not have to use his pistol.

“We held him down on the ground and a neighbor called the police to help us. He heard us screaming,” Kyle said.

The Morricals told WKRC they go to the range at least once a month to maintain their shooting proficiency.

Kyle told the news outlet he did not start out carrying his gun while working, but it’s a personal choice he’s made to be safe.

“I hoped I would never have to use it because it’s one of those things that you hope you never have to use, but you have it just in case,” Kyle said.

According to the news report, Miller was charged with assault, menacing and trespassing.

    Main Street Media the propaganda arm of the liberal commie democratic party is not going to cover good guys with guns, doesn’t fit the narrative of the liberal commie democratic party. The Their narrative is to confiscate every gun in the U.S. there is not one democratic politician that doesn’t want to lift your guns, any stories opposite of that gets very little coverage. The Democrats condone all the carnage with bad guys with guns, it keeps their narrative on the front page. If one values their liberties and freedoms, never vote Democratic, otherwise, your liberties and freedoms will be what these moron politicians want it to be.

      This homeowner using deadly force (and rightfully so) must not allow him or her self to be arrested/charged for defending their home.
