Exercising the Right

AK-47 to the Rescue

The Panama City News Herald reported out of Florida on August 16 about a homeowner who was forced to fire an AK-47 in self-defense at three burglary suspects. The incident began when the suspects broke in to vehicles parked outside a house. The female occupant of the house heard a loud noise and woke her husband. The husband grabbed his loaded AK-47 and ran out to investigate the noises.

The wife dialed 911 while the husband exited the house and discovered three men breaking in to their vehicles. The husband feared for his life because he knew that he had stored a firearm in one of those vehicles, and he thought these criminals might now have it in their possession. The husband yelled for the three suspects to halt their actions. It was at that moment that one of the suspects turned toward the husband in a menacing manner, which made the husband fire his AK-47 in fear for his life, striking one of the suspects.

The burglars rushed from the scene into a nearby vehicle and sped off. The husband ran over to the car where he knew he had stored a firearm and discovered that it was missing. The husband told the wife what had happened, and she relayed the information to the 911 operator.
