ANOTHER REASON WHY IT’S A BAD IDEA TO BREAK INTO A TEXAS HOME: ARMED ELDERLY MAN KILLS HOME INTRUDER

An armed elderly man in Dallas shot and killed a suspected burglar after finding him trying to break into his Dallas home this week. However, he was also forced to defend his actions after the would-be robber’s family showed up at his home.

The homeowner, a repeat burglary victim, found 33-year-old Deyfon Pipkins attempting to climb in the house through the window and fired at least one shot at the criminal, hitting his target.

Dallas police Sgt. Calvin Johnson told KDFW-TV that the homeowner is covered by the so-called “Castle Doctrine,” which provides legal protection to gun owners in Texas and other states who are forced to use deadly force against a home intruder.

Ok. Let's see if we can get a "Castle Doctrine" law passed in Maryland. And why don't we begin the process right here on the Eastern Shore. We will get help from Republicans, but none from the Democrats. The Democrats that represent us are too busy trying to suck up to O'Malley.

ONLY in our "I'm not a burglar, I'm a VICTIM" country would a criminal's FAMILY show up and complain that their criminal son wasn't treated well. How did they find the time? None of them have jobs.
