Not only are anti-gunners adamant that the good guy with a gun saves the day scenario is a myth, but they are also certain that AR-15s and other popular semi-automatic firearms are merely “weapons of war” and unsuitable for personal self-defense.
Cue the opposing evidence.
It was about 2:20 a.m. in Houston, Texas, on Thursday when a young family was startled awake by an alleged intruder. The suspect reportedly rattled the doorknob and ignored warnings that he was attempting to force his way into the wrong dwelling.
Occupants reportedly awakened by possible drunk intruder
The stranger then allegedly forced his way in, claiming the apartment was his. He reportedly physically struck the young man who had moments ago cautioned against doing exactly that. The defender apparently faced little choice but to act, and his weapon of choice was an AR-15.
Houston Police Department (HPD) Lt. R. Willkens told ABC 13 that the apartment’s occupants were asleep when the commotion started.
“He’s asleep on the couch,” the officer explained. “His girlfriend is asleep with the 1-year-old baby in the other room, and he wakes up hearing his door jingling. Someone’s trying to get in. It appears the individual even tried to kick the door one time.”
After the suspected intruder allegedly struck him, the boyfriend fired a single shot. The suspect was rushed to an area hospital, and authorities report that he may not survive his injuries.
Officials investigating if alleged intruder mistakenly entered wrong apartment
Investigators determined the wounded party lives nearby, and since he was in costume, they are checking the possibility that he was returning from a Halloween gathering. They want to determine if he was inebriated and tried to enter the wrong apartment.
That would be a tragic ending, and the hope is that he makes a full recovery. But it’s a dangerous business, allegedly trying to burst into another person’s home in the middle of the night while masked and intoxicated.
There’s no better way to show your patriotism than with merch that speaks before you do.
Defend America is more than a name, it’s a stand for freedom, resilience, and the values this country was built on. Every tee, hat, and mug is a symbol of unapologetic pride. Wear it loud, wear it proud, and let the world know: freedom isn’t negotiable.
