Fake Pizza Delivery Men Kill Man In Home Invasion
http://www.local6.com/news/2506807/detail.html

"Two men posing as pizza delivery men kicked in the door of an Orlando apartment late Tuesday and shot and killed a person inside after demanding money, according to Local 6 News.
Police said the two suspects who where carrying a pizza bag knocked on an apartment door at the Sabal Palm Apartments in Metrowest. When the three men and one woman inside said they didn't order pizza, the men burst into an apartment and yelled, "where's the money," Local 6 News reported."

A good reason to own a gun and have it ready at all times.

(is this ok?)

I think it's significant to note that in the past few weeks when we've been doing the "Guns in the News" threads, I've yet to find a SINGLE story showing how someone used a gun to prevent a crime or save themselves or a loved one from harm.

If you don't believe me, try it yourself - go to the News page oin Google and search for words like "gun", "guns", "shooting", and "shot".

5. But don't forget
We DO have the story from today where a store clerk shot a patron he'd previously had a disagreement with...then claimed it was because the patron had shoplifted a Twinkie.

20. Maybe you just don't want to.
These were all found using google news, and they were pretty blatant.

Here’s a definite maybe

A little old, but well within the “Guns In The News” era.

I think this one demonstrates the true problem we as a society face, as well as the self defensive use of a firearm.

2. so, you'd just be sitting around your house with your holster on?
I think the element of surprise was at work here.

3. Makes going to the crapper a hassle...
What about sex?
In the shower?

Get a dog or two, get better locks and doors. Get a life.

4. IS it...
Hell, with that "logic" it sounds like a good reason for someone to hide under the bed...

But hell, don't let me stop anybody from threatening people who come to their door for any reason...

11. What are you going to do?
Open the door fully armed and say

"Leave the pizza on the ground, lie face down with your arms behind your head and I'll place the money in your back pocket"?

Would you shoot the guy for putting anchovies on it? I'd be tempted.

12. Riiiight...
So I guess you should just shoot everyone who comes to your door just to make sure they don't shoot you first. Dumb.
