Armed resident scares off home invaders

[Clayface]

Nothing says " get the hell out of my house" like an armed resident with a gun.
What a great story and I would have loved to see their faces as their hearts dropped when they realized that they shouldn't have gotten out of bed that morning.

I think the main issue is what were a bunch of thugs from Mo V doing in YL.

I have a question.

Say it turned into a shoot where the homeowner shoots and kills the perp. What happens to other guns or ammo he may have? Say the weapons are secured in a safe and are not used or accessed during the shoot. What would happen to this guys stuff?

Short of a search warrant with cause to seize weapons, nothing.

Although if the shooter is arrested pending the outcome of the investigation, since the arrest would be for homocide (a felony) I wouldn't put it past some PD's to say "We hafta to sieze any weapons found at the scene pending the outcome of the investigation and the DA's findings."

That's what I was wondering too. Maybe the pickings are just better here than in Moreno Valley or maybe the bad guys were familiar with the area and/or the resident.

Why break into houses to rob people who don't have anything worth taking? You go to a nice neighborhood when you want to find some good stuff to steal.


Not to mention they prolly know that in MV there is any number of chances of targeting some other bad dudes house by accident and gettin' all f'ed up by him and his homies.

lol you are right! Chances are he will encounter some gangster with his homies side wielding glocks equipped with the Birdman Homeboy sights.

Wow, right down the street from my house.
In my situation, my wife will be armed and by my side as well.

[Chatterbox]

I'm sure any hypothetical wife would be fine with reasoning "Honey, I was keeping you safe by barricading in the bedroom while they were raping you down the hall. You wouldn't want me to risk getting brained by a crowbar, would you?"

Good job on the homeowner protecting his stuff. (Family) Armed homes are happy homes. Armed citizens are SMART citizens.

The DA would need to file homicide charges, unless there is a lot of evidence for the detective to just hook you up. Either way, their would need to be a search warrant and a weapons seizure order.
