    62 V 28.....good thing for equalizers eh? Remember the anti nutters would say a 62 year old life is OK to sacrifice for the sake of a 28 year old criminal.

    HOUSTON (FOX 26) - A Houston man, at his own home, suddenly found a gun pressed to his head, and soon shots were fired, but he isn’t the one who was shot. With a gun to his head, the father of three was actually able to turn the tables on his four attackers.

    “They were digging the gun further in my head,” explains Alexander Borrego.

    It was the night after Thanksgiving. “The chair was right here. I had my feet propped up,” Borrego says as he shows us where he was seated in his driveway just outside his garage.

    Borrego, his wife and two daughters were enjoying the cool weather outside their northeast Harris County home, and out of the blue, his 3-year-old walked into the house. His wife and other daughter followed.

    “She was outside playing in the garage. I had the garage door open. She had just went inside and I was bugging my wife to hurry up and come out so we could hang out and do nothing,” Borrego says.

    As Borrego's family disappeared inside the house, four strangers with a gun appeared outside. ”He runs behind me, puts the gun to the back of my head and told me to get up,” says Borrego.

    They started dragging Borrego into his garage. ”That was the only way into the house so my first reaction was to get away from the garage door and go to the front door where it was locked. We were in a struggle right here. They were pulling me this way.”

    Borrego was determined to keep the attackers away from his family and he remembered he was doing something he never does, carrying his pistol in his pocket.

    “Before pulling the trigger, my last thought was 'we're all going to die right here because none of them are going to get in the house,'" Borrego says. "I'm a lefty and I just turned like that and swatted the gun away from my head.” And he shot the gunman twice.

    The four attackers ran. The one who was shot was lagging behind and Borrego prepared to do CPR on the person who seconds earlier held a gun to his head. “I wasn't going to let him bleed out and die on the street like some dog.”

    Borrego believes the four targeted him because they thought he was alone, but I couldn’t help but notice a sign on his house which reads "God bless our home". He says God was certainly with him as he walked away unharmed from four attackers with a gun.

    ”That was divine intervention. That was the Lord. That was the Lord,” Borrego says.

    The investigation is ongoing as detectives work to take the four suspects into custody.

    Borrego is not expected to be charged.

    "Successful firearm self defense stories happen everyday."

    They sure do !
    Many of us are survivors of Defensive Gun use encounters, yet the Anti Gun Advocates cry anecdotal evidence every time.
    Except here.

    ST. LOUIS • A pizza delivery man shot and killed a robber who attacked him late Thursday in south St. Louis, police say.

    The dead man was identified as Lavon Courtney Jr., 17, of the 5300 block of Grant Street. He was shot about 10:20 p.m. Thursday in the 4600 block of South Spring Avenue.

    Police Officer Michelle Woodling said police believed the shooting was justified. Therefore, the death of the robber does not count toward the city’s total homicides.

    The city stands at 191 homicides for the year, Woodling said. The totals exclude homicides ruled justified, such as cases of self-defense, and fatal police shootings.

    Police say the pizza deliverer is a man, 41, who was trying to deliver food on Spring when he was robbed by two men. One of the robbers struck the delivery man in the head with a firearm.

    The victim tried to run back to his car, and the robber fired shots at him. The delivery man wasn’t hit.

    The delivery man had his own handgun, police say, and he fired shots at the robber. He then drove back to the pizza shop and called police.

    The delivery man’s only injury was a cut to his head after being struck with the robber’s handgun.

    Police say they found the dead robber near Spring and Taft avenues. The second robber apparently ran off. Police have no description of the second robber.

    If the anti-gun left had its way, this man would have been defenseless against armed criminals.

    Collectivism and conformity sometimes require sacrifice based on the the fairness of chance.

    But, then hominids developed technology for self defense. But, the liberals prefer the way things were. Hmmm... different meaning to the idea of conservatism.

    Not only that, Prosecuted and charged with murder, in the attackers death, many people in N.Y.C. have been charged with possession of an unlicensed unregistered handgun, a 5 year prison sentence, after a self defense shooting, but not with the death of the attacker.

    Never mess with a man who has a Level 3 Tactical Beard.

    Here's the interesting part of the story though:

    Turns out the four attackers were teenagers. According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, the gunman who Borrego shot may have been as young as 13 years old. The teens ran to the 13-year-old's house. His mom rushed him to the hospital, where he survived.
