Rob sent me this link.
I love what he had to say about working the pump. Jim stated it best when he told me that when an intruder hears the pump on a shotgun he'll either take a crap in your house or on his way out the door.

Posted by: Sandy G on October 14, 2007 09:38 PMThat's great! Don't burgle my house unless you wanna eat some .00! Good for him! I'd like to buy that dude a beer and shake his hand...
"I felt like every home owner should react..."
Damn straight!
Posted by: CharlieDelta on October 14, 2007 09:43 PMGotta love Texas thinkin. This is MY castle. Do not fuck with it! I just regret a burgular will never hear my semi-auto 12g go clink, all he will hear is 00 buckshot coming his way. Since it's ready to go at a moments notice.
Posted by: kerrcarto on October 14, 2007 09:47 PMWhat say you, Prosper? How's your rubber-band gun treating you?
Posted by: CharlieDelta on October 14, 2007 09:49 PMlike the rattle of the rattle snakes tail the chambering of a shotgun shell is unmistakable and gets everyone's attention... gun's don't kill unless you break in to my house then bet you skippy they do
Posted by: Spanky on October 14, 2007 11:47 PMMy late uncle killed one in Oklahoma in the 1940's. Found him in the living room as he was coming through the window. He emptied all five from a Browning 12 ga into the bastard. Burglary in the town came to a halt.
Posted by: Ric on October 15, 2007 09:45 AMI cannot resist noting a few anomalies in this siutation.
1. The shooter is a Gentleman of Color and the two perps he caught are Poor White Trash.
2. The Black shooter appears to be an upstanding middle-class sort of guy with a well-kept house and a respectable looking wife.
3. Of all the other White folk being interviewed, not a one seems to be ralling to thier "ethnic brethren", aka the PWTs, but are praising the Black Gentleman for doing the good thing.
Maybe if Rearend Jesse and Rearend Al were to study this incident, might they learn something?
Prerhaps that's a town to which Mychel Bell might wish to move?
I'm a retired cop and can vouch for the effectiveness of the slide closing. That's why all cops use pumps.
I once saw a demonstration of a fully automatic 12 gauge with a 25 round drum magazine! It could create a bunch of hurt.
This guy rocks. I personally would have used my .44 Mag, but hey, what the hell. Whatever gets the job done. And I have to admit, the "CHUNK-CHUNK" sound of chambering a shell does make the 12 gauge particularly intimidating. This dude is a badass. We need more guys like him in the world.

Sweet merciful crap! A full-auto 12 gauge with a 25 round magazine?! Holy shit! Where can I get one of those? Not necessarily to buy it; I just want to try it out.
Posted by: F. Jenkins on October 15, 2007 01:52 PMI doubt they are for sale at the local gun store. I'm not even sure if they were much of a success. Not a lot of practical use in a police department. Might be fun in Iraq though.
Posted by: Alan on October 15, 2007 04:31 PMThey were called "Stryker" & supposedly all had to be turned in several years back, as they were deemed to have "No Sporting Purpose", as defined by the BATF. Funny thing, I don't remember any claptrap about "sporting purposes" in the 2nd amendment, but fool-ass liberals always seem to find stuff in there that nobody else can. Oh well, after Empress Hitlery gets in next year, we can kiss all our loudenboomers buh-bye...We'll be lucky if they let us keep a bolt-action single-shot .22...
Posted by: Sandy G on October 15, 2007 07:29 PMI'm keepin' all of mine, Hitlerly or not!!
Posted by: Alan on October 15, 2007 08:31 PMDamn right Alan. They're not getting mine either. Reminds me of cold, dead fingers...
Posted by: CharlieDelta on October 15, 2007 09:02 PMBack when I first got married, I came home one Saturday to a block party and had to park several streets over. Sunday morning I awoke to the unique sound of my apartment door opening without the key,hhmmmm.
I reached into the closet, grabbed my Mossberg 500 then stepped into the kitchen. when the fellows came through the lower door ( I was in a basement and effectively trapped since there were no egress windows) I jacked a round up. Mine were .56 cal punkin balls from muzzle loadin fun transplanted into a 3 in shell. (What size buck is that? I had two balls in there?) Those two guys turned as white as a Klansman in full dress. They claimed to be from a local church and though there were multiple apartments in the basement. I was tired, and hung over, so I let them go. About five minutes, and I had second thoughts and called the police. They apprehended them coming out of a house down the block. Seems they cased the neighborhoods and knew what vehicles belonged where.
I guess there was a sort of trade off, had the party not happened, they never would have tried my door, and I would have been sobber.
Another guy I know heard foot steps at 3:00AM. Since he lived alone, he knew it was a problem. He lined his .357 on the bedroom door, and when the perp walked in, announced that he would shoot. The fool charged accross the room. My friend loaded hollowback wadcutters backward, and those mega hollow points expended 100% of their energy inside the guy. That was another case where burglaries dropped after the incident.
Yippee Skippy on that one there me bruthers! Nothing like the sound of a pump action shot gun to scare off the crack heads. When I was a 3 year old, the neighbor kid wriggled his way into our basement window and my Dad went down after him with what is now one of my son's shot guns, and made the chunk chunk noise...
He told the kid that he had two choices, wriggle back out the window and never rob anyone again or get shot in the ass and beat up by his Dad when he got home. The kid scurried away and left town-nobody else was robbed after that. I heard that the kid went to juvi jail for some car thing later on. I remember my mom all shaking and my Dad being totally cool-they didn't make the news back then, but I sure learned a thing or two.
Here's one point that's not mentioned in that video: You don't actually have to shoot anyone with that gun. Taking control is the point.
To anyone who thinks that GUNS kill people, they missed the point. What that guy did in his own garage was perfect. Also hilarious.
Thanks for the link, Denny.
