Homeowner Ray Ridgeway says it happened just after 6am Wednesday, when he heard the glass shatter and the commotion at his front door, so he cocked his gun. Then as one round fell out of the chamber, he says three suspects took off running and jumped into a small pickup truck.
Sounds like he was acting like he was in a Hollywood movie. I think we covered this in the movie pet peeve thread. :headscratch
This brings up a good question. Is it better to make a sound like racking a slide and avoid a shooting someone or well wait and start shooting?
The only reason I would rack the slide was if

1. I didn't keep one in the chamber.....
2. I wasn't sure if there was a round in the chamber

Re: Homeowner surprises burglary suspects

his three vehicles were in the driveway
nothing says i'm home like 3 cars in the driveway
Ridgeway says the burglars left behind a pair of shorts and a machete the size of a yard stick.
I'm not so sure they were there to just steal a tv or two.
