This story has made my day.

A pretty wild story. Glad the robber didn't have a gun. Am happy for the homeowner. Great courage.

Yep, When will these da's realize that us johnston county folks don't take too kindly enterin' without bein' asked first.

Turning it back on the criminals...gotta love a story like this one. I only wish I could have been there to watch and take a whack at the burglar too.

Would have been hit with a 44 magnum at mine! Good for the homeowner.
