Yes....this gun owner was not disarmed, he did not kill the knife wielding robber, he did not pee his pants....he calmly held the criminal and called the police. He even let the criminal leave after the criminal put down his knife.......no shots fired, no one was injured..........
This is not uncommon in self defense with a gun....criminals do not want to get shot anymore than gun owners want to actually shoot them. The myth of the easily disarmed gun owner, or the gun owner who is just hoping to kill his first criminal is exactly that...a myth...
Homeowner Stays Armed In The House — Finds Knife-Wielding Man Inside And It Turns Out Great!
WILLMAR, MINNESOTA — A Willmar homeowner returned home to find a man wielding a knife in the middle of his living room. Using his pistol, which he was licensed to carry, he held the suspect at gunpoint and called 911. During the encounter, he allowed the suspect to leave after putting his buck knife down. Police caught up to the suspect, 37-year-old by the name of Shane Fellers. He was found inside a vehicle being operated by an unknown woman. Both were taken into custody and, according to the West Central Tribune, Fellers was held on a $70,000 unconditional bail for first degree burglary and burglary with a dangerous weapon. He also allegedly supplied the police officer with an incorrect name when he was initially apprehended — tacking on an additional misdemeanor.
