The Second Amendment Prevails in Real Life
This is why the Second Amendment is so damned important. No, Marion County is not the Wild West, but boy a gun can be handy...and necessary.
Two case studies:
CASE ONE
SUMMERFIELD - For the second time in a week, sheriff's detectives have responded to home invasion reports that ended with a shootout in one case and a death in another.
In the most recent incident, Geoffrey Green told deputies that he and five other people were playing cards in the kitchen of a Summerfield home early Tuesday. Green said three men barged in and demanded they put their hands in the air and get on the floor.
Green said the men - two white and one Hispanic - gained entry through a garage door. One of the men brandished a weapon, believed to be a silver revolver, and fired a shot into the ceiling.
**********
One of the men reportedly went into the bedroom of Kenneth Green, Geoffrey Green's father. Kenneth Green told deputies he heard the gunshot and the commotion in the house. He said he grabbed his rifle and waited behind his bed. The weapon is a WASR-10 semi-automatic assault rifle that fires 7.62x39mm ammunition. According to the AK-47 Web site, the rifle is nearly identical to the SAR-1 Romanian AK.
Officials said the man who opened the door reportedly told his accomplices, "Let's get the [expletive] out of here!" once he saw Green with the rifle.
************
CASE TWO
On New Year's Day, two men barged into a mobile home in Kendrick, and one of them stabbed 24-year-old Benjamin Byron Carroll in the neck. Carroll died Jan. 4. Detectives believe the incident may be drug-related and are looking for the robbers, who stole money and drugs.
Two case studies in what can happen when you have a gun for protection....and what can happen when you don't.
