Yes, we can affirm (read the story) that this was the worst "trip" that the nude home invader
had ever been on.

Takeaways from this story:
Don't do drugs.
Don't break into people's homes, especially Marine homes.
When the homeowner tells you he's got a gun, don't say that you want a gun too.

Good thing he wasn't wearing a hoodie.

Was it in Texas?

Can't believe they didn't do a drug test on the dead guy. I guess since they ruled it self-defense anyway, the Marine was good to go. But seems like it would have been good to know WHAT caused the guy to attempt to bust into a house sans clothing.

...more coffee, anyone???

3 rounds? He could have saved 2 rounds if he was using a Glock...

[speedsix]

...agreed...those FTFs do keep you from wasting so much ammo...

From the title I thought he removed three rounds and beaned the guy with them.

Whenever I open a thread, I try to be economical with words and phrases, in order to make the subject line
as long and detailed as possible. I'm a hater of the one word, totally useless subject lines, requiring me to open
them and read them to find out what the heck it may be about.

Beiruty: No, it was not in Texas. The first 2 letters of the subject line, "NC", represent North Carolina.

I also am irked when the first post of a thread consists of a pasted link with no explanatory text. If the author doesn't care enough to describe why he found the link interesting and what it is about, I'll simply move onto the next thread. If subsequent discussion shows other people found the link interesting and gives some idea what it is about, I may read it later, but the original post is still irritating.

...the title in the example explains the link...and piqued my interest, as did this one...I was unirked...

I love a story with a happy ending.

He couldn't have been a real Marine, otherwise it would have only taken one round.
