Home Invader Ignores Elderly Couple's 'Smith and Wesson Spoken Here’ Sign
Quote:Fox 13 reports Christian Holbert broke into the home of an elderly couple. Unfortunately for Holbert, he ignored the sign posted outside the home that read, “Smith and Wesson spoken here.”
Keeping true to what the sign stated, the couple shot the intruder several times, according to the police.
The ordeal was not over, however, because by the time sheriff deputies arrived, the would-be burglar stripped naked and ran to confront them.
“Taser was used multiple times,” Lt. Dan Schlosser said. “He did not respond to that but the deputies were able to subdue him.”
After being taken into custody, Holbert was taken to a hospital by helicopter in serious condition. Based on Holbert's behavior, the police say drugs were likely involved.
Police say the homeowners will not be facing charges. “They did fear for their lives and they did shoot at him,” Schlosser said.

If I ever have to shoot an intruder I hope he survives. I mean, he probably won't since I'm aiming for the chest. I don't want to live with knowing I've taken a life, even if justified.

I don't hold out much hope of that if it happens here. There's not too many people who are capable of surviving a blast of 12ga #4 shot in the chest at home defense ranges. They are better off if I'm not home and my wife shoots them with the AR.
