Re: Dallas homeowner in shootout with attempted armed robbers

No sir, not me, you won't see me leaving a place providing both concealment and cover to stand out in the open for a "Wild West" sort of shootout. Apparently no one was injured in the gunfire exchange, but it could have gone *way* worse for that homeowner when he stepped outside.

I agree. From the article I was a little unsure about when the shooting was initiated. It sounded like he shot at them while they were running for their car and then they began returning fire, but they may have starting firing at him while they were retreating. Either way, I think that I would be more interested in seeking cover than in running them off. Hopefully his camera footage helps the police catch these guys and get them off of the streets.

I don't have security cameras on my house, but have definitely been thinking about it. And have found a lot of useful information on this forum about security camera systems. We definitely have some experts here.

Dallas homeowner in shootout with attempted armed robbers

http://www.fox4news.com/news/230936351-story
Terry Morgan was fast asleep in his Oak Cliff home on Lea Crest Drive when he was startled from bed by a rattling noise at his front door...
Morgan says he saw five people jump into a car and drive away. Security cameras only caught three of them -- the first one who knocked on the door to see if anyone was home and two more using a crowbar to try to get in.
BG appears to have either an SBR or an AR Pistol.
