Crook uses pickax to try breaking into home after midnight. But homeowner has a gun — and intruder doesn't stand a chance. NEWS

We've said it before; we'll say it again. Those apparently out to violate the law and hurt and take from others in the process still don't seem to understand that everyday folks all over are choosing to exercise their Second Amendment rights and arm themselves for protection.

Especially when their homes and lives are threatened. The scenario of intruders getting fatally shot by homeowners is becoming a familiar one, and it has already played out a couple of times this month. In both cases, not only did the suspects apparently ignore the possibility that their victims may, in fact, be armed, but they also physically charged at or attacked the homeowners.

And a weaponless physical attacker typically loses to someone with a gun.
