Having your own gun used against you works both ways

Sooooooo Adele.......how's that "four times as likely" schtick working out for you, hmmm?

The couple were forced back into the house and tied up with belts while the suspects began looting the house
The tables turned when the owner of the home managed to free himself and tackled the suspect tasked with looking after them as he was carrying a microwave out to his accomplices.

In the scuffle the owner of the home managed to wrestle the suspect’s gun away from him and shot the man in the leg. The other two suspects inside the house immediately dropped everything and fled while the wounded suspect ran off, leaving his gun behind.

On the run and hurt, the injured suspect approached another house in Rivonia and asked for help via the intercom, claiming that he had been shot in the leg while being robbed in the street.

The resident became suspicious and immediately hit the panic button to alert his security company.

The suspect was arrested by officers of the security firm.

This will be a very bitter pill for gfsa to swallow. Well done by the owner!

Well done - glad the scum was caught.
Proves again these muppets are nothing but cowards.

Brilliant. We need to keep cases like this at our finger tips for when we need to debate with GFSA etc.

How is this against them?

Can't they turn around and say that "Yes, but see it could have been the other way around if the owner was armed and the BG wrestled it off him and shot the owner...?"

Just playing devil's advocate

but also slightly serious..

Well done that guy.

Awesome win for that household. Well done!

I am going out on a limb here, but I highly doubt and armed and competent gun owner will be nearly as blase during a robbery as a perpetrator who thinks his victim is completely subdued. If you do something as a career you tend to get complacent, why do you think pilots must be shoved into a simulator every six months? ;)
