Sam and Heather Julius were driving one May night last year when they spotted some land for sale near 188th and Blondo Streets.
They pulled over on a gravel road just off Blondo, popped the hatch on their Chevy Equinox and gazed at the land.
With their 8-pound puppy digging in the dirt, the couple daydreamed about the land a horse stable here, maybe some paths there.
Sam Julius said he and his wife didn't even know there was a house on that land, around the bend.

Yea, even though his house was burglarized, it doesn't appear these people were on his land since they were at a property with a For Sale sign.
He said he was acting irrationally and running on adreneline. All the more reason these idiots shouldn't be armed.
More white guy paranoia.

but force the 25 years for the gun
it would stop petty street criminals from using guns that day forward
probably wouldn't stop these paranoidal NRA gun fans though.
but it would get them off the street, and take away their voting rights

the home owner is now trying to sell a home with an out of control gun freak around the corner. Not a comfortable thought when considering a new home.
