Man In Wheelchair Drops A Mook On His Doorstep
Down in Gainesville, Florida, according to the Gainesville Sun, a man named Gary was watching the vidiot box when someone knocked on his door. Gary, a wheelchair user, placed his revolver, a .45 Colt, on his lap before responding to the knock.
He said he had an uneasy feeling because the hour was late, and he was not expecting company. “I was suspicious,” Gary said, “I really didn’t want to open the door.”
At the door were a pair of mooks, one 24, the other 18, with a third mook waiting in the vehicle parked in front of his house. When Gary answered the door, one of the mooks requested a jump start for his car, while the other mook, who had a bandanna over his face…rushed him and bowled him over.
Gary fired multiple shots, striking mook numero uno in the chest. Now imagine this…mook numero uno, who was pronounced dead at the scene, had a long history of criminal behavior, and had been rehabilitated.
The two other mooks fled the scene separately after their partner in crime took a couple of rounds. They were later found, apprehended, and are awaiting trial on charges of second degree murder, and attempted home invasion.
Gary says several folks have called and told him he is a hero, but he doesn’t feel like one. He says, “A hero usually helps people, not shoots them.”
Well…that’s correct, but it doesn’t make Gary any less a hero for defending himself, and his home. Most normal folks aren’t out late at night, wearing a mask, and trying to break into someone’s home either.
Nobody really wants to use lethal force, but sometimes it is necessary to protect yourself.
Would a non lethal weapon have worked in this situation? It certainly could have been, but that’s your choice. (At the moment)
It’s up to you to decide how you deal with a home invasion, and nobody else’s business. That’s why I always say, “Have a plan.” You need to know how you’re going to handle a situation like this before it happens.
If you decide you’re going with non lethal solutions, then you need to have the tools you need to make sure you come out on top of the situation. You can find almost everything you need at Big Kahuna Security.

Stay aware, alert, and have a plan.
I would never have opened the door myself.
