Did you all see this?

Hadn’t heard about it before. Good for him!

 

[XVIIc Wheelock]

First and only shot counted! The other two after hearing the boom and blinding smoke, may have run for their lives thinking more on the way!!! Inside a home, may have sounded like a cannon!

 

[Rob M.]

Yeah ,just heard about this . Sure glad the home owner is ok ...

 

[User_Dan]

Fix bayonets and run the ruffians through

 

[sussexmuzllodr]

This could and should happen more often....

 

[Sam squanch]

The first thing this poor man needs to do is get a great attorney. And I hope the idiot he shot was actually INSIDE his house.

 

[snakebit]

Good for him. I'll kick in a few bucks so he can replace the blood stained carpet. I hope Vermont is a Castle Doctrine state. I guess those turds looking for drug money didn't remember most of older guys aren't violent anymore, but haven't forgotten how to be.

I applaud the homeowner for defending his home.
I was distressed to read in the article that his home was being thoroughly searched. For what?!!? HE is not the criminal!

I hope he lawyers up quick. Vermont isn’t a state that is for the people anymore. The police even executed a search warrant right away against the homeowner too. Obviously looking for anything incriminating they can use against him. Anyway good for him. I sure hope it was a large caliber ML with a big bullet too. A old filthy dirty mini ball with rancid grease lube would be best.

Looking for others shot. Three shots per minute you know. OR they couldn’t find the spent brass.

Yup SSS.nuff said .

 

[Old-Duckman]

Don't search warrants have to specify just what they are searching for? It would be interesting to see what was specified on the warrant. I'm assuming that they are not a public record and therefore are not able to be viewed the Joe Citizen.

Am I correct in these assumptions?

If Vermont is like Missouri, any shooting is expected to be….. DRUG RELATED! They are just looking for the bag of dope money…. But if the guy kept a muzzleloader for self defense- he might be a felon as well. So that might be the extra scrutiny.

 

[oldwood]

Those three felons should consider themselves fortunate. A seasoned frontiersman would have had a tomahawkin nearby , and true to form , after the first fire given , a good axing would have changed their minds forever , about breaking into folks houses , if they would have survived.

 

[sportster73hp]

Read several news clips and nothing more is stated. They are looking for owners 39 or 40 year old son for questions. Guess it isn’t news worthy if not using a semi auto.

Here's a little more detail:

Vermont Daily Chronicle

From the above story link:
"..., the man who was shot was 39-year-old Paul E. Brown of Milton and St. Albans, he was seriously injured...., later transferred to the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, where he was listed in critical condition Wednesday afternoon.”

No doubt. Take a hit from a muzzleloading rifle at close range, and that's to be expected....,

The phrase that comes to mind is, "one and done".

That’s trouble the older guy just didn’t need, most of your New Englander states are Not Gun Friendly At All. and they’ll want to really throw the book at him, he needs to retain a super good Lawyer that’s for sure..
