The solution to a bad guy with a gun

Is a good guy with a gun!

The assault on the McLellands’ home was particularly brazen. Mr. McLelland, a 23-year Army veteran, was a regular at a gun shop near his home, browsing for firearms and chatting up the owner two or three times a week. And he kept five to six dozen different types of firearms at his residence, many of them loaded, according to two law enforcement officials.

“There were guns hidden all over the house,” said Mr. McLelland’s son, J. R. McLelland, 39. “Behind doors, everywhere. He could have been standing next to a .40-caliber Glock and you would not have known it. When they said that he got shot, it was unbelievable because he was so well-armed and so well-versed in guns.”

It was unclear why Mr. McLelland and his wife — she was also comfortable with a firearm, and she had a license to carry a concealed handgun — did not have immediate access to the guns in the house when the killer or killers entered.

  1. Thieves target gun-owners homes for a very good reason. Guns get more money and are easier to sell on the black market than just about anything else. All these idiots with the “Rob my neighbor – he doesn’t have a gun but I do” signs in their yard are indeed encouraging robbery. Not the robbery they think however….
