Black homeowner 1, BG 0
Since color does not matter and now, liberals are crying foul about "black NRA", here you go: A black homeowner who defended his turf and shot a drug addict who was breaking in his house.

Re: Black homeowner 1, BG 0
While perusing the story at the link, I spoted another good one:
http://www.guns.com/2013/06/17/ny-pharm ... ugs-video/A man who entered a pharmacy and demanded Ritalin and Dilaudid in Bellmont, New York, met his match Friday afternoon when the tire of his getaway car was taken out by an armed pharmacist
At first, the pharmacist handed over the drugs, but then followed the robber, who was later identified as Marc Gumpert, 43, outside. When Gumpert drew his knife and came towards him, the pharmacist then drew his revolver and fired a single shot at him.
According to a report by the Nassau County Police Department, the 34-year-old pharmacist, who has not been identified, missed the robber. The bullet ricocheted off the ground and hit the back tire of Gumpert’s 2011 Nissan Altima. He was still able to get a license plate number for the police.
A short time later, Gumpert’s car was spotted by a Nassau County Ambulance driver. He was arrested without incident and charged with first degree robbery and third degree criminal possession of a weapon, with his bail set at $250,000. The stolen pharmaceutical drugs were also recovered.
No one was injured during the incident, which also brought about support by some for concealed carry. Mary Nolan, a customer at the pharmacy, said, “He did the right thing. The pharmacist should be allowed to carry a gun.”
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Love this part.
Thompson was reported to not even be shaken up following the incident, as he said he feels like he had done the right thing.

Re: Black homeowner 1, BG 0
Great job by the homeowner. I haven't heard of the "liberal black NRA" issue...seems like it would be a bit racist if different people formed different groups based on race alone...
