Armed Ga homeowner stops home invasion

Oops, Wrong House, Georgia Version: A Covington man shot a
burglar in his home Dec. 28, sending the perpetrator to the
hospital, where officers with the Covington Police Department
arrested him. According to the incident report, the victim was
asleep when he heard someone kick open his front door and enter
his home. He said the grabbed his handgun from under his pillow,
loaded the weapon and ran into the living room, where he saw the
burglar standing in the foyer. The victim said he fired four
shots and the intruder ran. The victim then grabbed his
high-powered rifle and stood guard outside his home, where
officers found him when they arrived at the home
(Its a good thing that the homeowner was afforded the
time to load his handgun. I have addressed before the risks of
keeping handguns under pillows. While the risk of firing the gun
while asleep is attenuated by keeping it unloaded, so is its
defensive value. If the gun is left there 24 hours a day, it is
also likely to be accessible to unauthorized users.)
