Had a break in and got shot!

[mushroom_toy]

I would have killed him right there. Dont know about CA, but Ga thankfully is a ask questions later state. Plus you can concealed or open carry here with rounds in the gun and even one chambered. Thats what I do. Never think like nothings gonna happen always expect it. Glad you were armed and made it out ok.

[mushroom_toy]

ive shot a xd .40, it was a nice lil pistol.

Didnt you go with us and shoot the mosins and my Taurus .40, or the springfield .45?

[Tdurr]

Lol I can't remember Luke... It was one of em and ur rifle...

[Ichiban]

I'm glad you guys made it out alive, and I hope your recovery goes well. There's no reasoning with a drunk or high criminal when he's in your home, stealing your things, with a weapon with which to hurt you. Had it been my home, he would of had a face full of 00 buck from the Wingmaster, and the ME would have cleaned up his hamburgered corpse with floor dry. I would have shot the fuck dead.

It's unfortunate how the laws in Canada here neuter peoples ability to defend themselves. They want you to run away and call the cops, and the cops don't come. Just because it's north and cold here doesn't make my ghetto back alley any safer, fuck I have a homeless guy in my truck about every other week. I've just quit locking the doors.

seriously, i don't understand how people are praising the gun. Having a gun did not stop the criminal from opening fire and potentially killing 3gm and his wife.

I gotta think that calling 911 and getting the fuck out of the house would have been a much safer move. Even if the criminal managed to escape, the worst that could happen is you lose some property.

If it weren't possible to get out of the house, only now does it make sense to get out the gun.. but even then I'd wait till it was clear that the home invader had more than big screen TVs on his mind.

Even if you do own a gun, I wouldn't recommend confronting tweaked-out criminal one-on-one.. Supposedly a gun is an "equalizer" but unless you're willing to shoot first with deadly intent, confronting someone else who could have a gun just puts you at more risk. A surprised and trapped animal is a very dangerous beast




btw this is in no way a criticism of what 3gm did.. it's easy to "monday morning quarterback".. I'm also not trying to debate or argue either, i'm just expressing my opinion that having the gun in this case doesn't seem like it was particularly beneficial, and even potentially made things worse.

But that's just my opinion.. and just like assholes, everybody's got one

frantik, i too am inclined to agree with your statement to an extent. i definitely agree that it is only an equalizer if you strike with deadly force initially. north carolina (where i live now) is making it so that if you use deadly force in a break in to your house or car you are justified. where as now it's more like california being that you have to worry about a bunch of legalities after the fact.

removing yourself from the situation would no doubt be one of the safest possibilities, your life is definitely worth more than what you own. but given the circumstance that happened, barring all "what-ifs" the second amendment, the right for him to carry a weapon did in fact save his life. isn't that true? if he had went to the hallway with no weapon and said, "hey what are you doing in my house??!??!?" Then the criminal would have turned with his gun in hand, what would he do then?

final question is this... you have no instinct to protect your home and family? the time it would take to gather them it could be too late. i'd rather show up armed, strike with deadly force, and wait for the police. that's just my opinion, maybe i'm a savage, i don't know? but if you come into my house and eat my birthday cake with my family...

Thats ridiculous...

[Xaisk]

Yeah I think those laws are friggen retarded. If someone breaks into your house you should have every right to shoot and kill. They arent supposed to be in your house, and if someone enters your house without you giving them permission, then generally they are probally there to rob you or worse.

If I walked downstairs and seen an intruder my first instinct would be to shoot to kill. They could be armed like in his case. There could also be multiple intruders.

I think our laws are ludacris.

[Edison Carasio]

I'm glad you're alive. Wish you speedy recovery.

I want to buy a gun, but I come from a family history of depression and suicide and fear that one day I could end up like my family and turn it on myself. Or accidently shoot my girlfreind coming in late one night. I sleep with a Smith and Wesson tactical boot knife next to my bed at night instead.

[w261w261]

State laws or no state laws I can't imagine a jury convicting someone defending their house at night. even if you happen to have shot the burglar between the eyes , if you say you were in panic and were afraid for your family it will be okay .

You'd be surprised the kinds of verdicts juries return.

DAMN BRO .....................Sorry man.. Crazy ass people ......Thank god you made it. Alot dont in a fire battle that close.
God is on your side and im for sure you have a better respect for life now. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

The first thing in recovery is forgiveness.. Once u can get past the drama of it , then in the long run it will be best for you. God lives and if you look around you will see him ..

I agree. I teach home defense and the worst thing you can do is call out to an armed criminal. Let him be on his way and get the best discription you can to give to 911 as you are calling. Only when you have no choice do you engage the assailant. But as you say not to argue just a point.

[3gmodifier]

thank you all again for your support. i had a great therapy session today. I am making even more progress and i see my doctor tomorrow. I hope i get my release for work so i can move on and start getting payed again. I will up date you all tomorrow.

[Mellexx]

Holy fuck..All I can say is wow, people are completely fucked up little psychos no other way to put that at all. So glad you and your wife are okay, It's sad to see this kinda shit goes on and can happen to anyone who've done nothing wrong. Good to hear you're doing alright though, I'm just in pure awe by this damn

[3gmodifier]

hey 3Geez. its been about 2 1/5 months or so since my last post. just wanted to say that i am back at work and moving on with life. work kinda sucks being that i missed 3 months during our plants startup, but i have adjusted and am already in the running for supervisor on my shift. still in therapy and oddly enough have about 85% mobility back in my hand. i just started riding my bike again about 6 weeks ago. which is awesome because the wheather is getting better and i use to haet walking into the garage, see my bike, and know that there's no way i can sqeeze the clutch lever.

i went back to the gun range for the first time since i was shot 2 weeks ago. it was a bit wierd at first but ended up having a blast. my wife even went and got to shoot her new pistol. i lil S&W 22. she had fun and actually fired my glock 9mm and got 8 rounds off with my mosberg 500 12ga. before her shoulder was hurting.

all in all, i am doing good. my hand is still getting better but there are still a few limitations that i am struggling to adjust to. i know it will get better and look forward to it. talk to you all later.

[gp02a0083]

hey 85% mobility isn't all that bad, keep working at it and i think you can go more.

lol @ the misses shooting a 12g, that's a pretty heavy gun in general


good luck with the rest of the recovery!

[MessyHonda]

yeah it just takes time to heal up...the human body is amazing. you will have full mobility with therapy and time

[3gmodifier]

yup thats the plan. i will eventually need to have one more surgery if i so choose to. it would be an exstensor flexer repair. basically i can make a fist with my ring finger 90% there but when i try to full open my it just kinda hangs there at the half way point. the scar tissue and bone graft kinda incased the tendon that allows me to exstend the finger. gonna wait till fall so i can ride the bike this season. it would be another 2-5 months before i could operate the clucth lever again so i should be ready for next years riding season.

[3gmodifier]

Hey 3geez it has been a little while but i wanted to let you all know that i am doing very well with my recovery. I have been back at work 4 a few months now. It’s tough trying to make my skills shine with my hand still not perfect but i seem to over achieve in every department they move me to. I think i try harder now than before knowing that i have a handicap compared to my fellow workers. At this point i am just trying to work hard and save money to move on buy my first house for my wife and I. life is good and still to this day, it's good to be alive.

I have been to the gun range 4 times now since that night and have actually gotten so proficient with my shooting that i am actually bored with it. lol! At this point I am just shooting money with the cost of ammunition.

But hey, life goes on and i am ready for a new start, or should i say enjoying this undecided new start. Peace out guys. Talk to you later.

[Oldblueaccord]

Thanks for the update glad you are doing well!

[ShyBoyCA6]

Right on dude never give up!oh and hope you can make the Beach meet on july 23rd buddy. sure hope you can make it out there. Glad to see you posting on 3geez

[3gmodifier]

you know it. I cant wait for the meet. i finally got my new wheels. i will say that they are chrome plated but without saying too much, i will say that they are originally made by Konig and 5 sets were bought in total and stripped and chromed for an exclusive limited release to a third party who deals directly with Konig wheels INC. only 3 sets were ever released to the U.S.! I have done my homework and I currently am the only person in the U.S. to have them. Or at least post about it lol. I prefer polished aluminum but with the rarity, old school look, and the kinda buy it now or never get thance again opporatunity i couldnt let them go. i look forward to the meet. i hope the date doesnt change because i already got the day off approved and probly would get a change approved. see you all there.

[3gmodifier]

just a little update from the my last post. the rims i finally got are NOT chrome. they are infact cnc polished aluminum and clear coated to preserve the crome like finish.

i know you are still suffering from the home invasion , but whats ride the bike this season bit?
i rode to work on friday, and it was so cold, the mist froze on contact with my visor and i was slipping and sliding the 4 miles to work.
was only -4C tho, with a 10 degree frost so it wasnt to bad.
have ridden in colder weather
