Cops: Victim's Son Uses Gun, Truck To Stop Burglary Suspect

[Logical]

Jane Vaughn-Williams can't understand why thieves keep coming after her. Her home off NE 110th Street is modest, surrounded by 62 acres of farm land. One thing she does know: She's sick of it. Vaughn-Williams said a break-in Monday afternoon was the sixth in the past 10 years.

"I happened not to be here," Vaughn-Williams said, "but if I had been here, like I have in the past, and I had my gun handy, I would have shot him because I'm fed up with it." Instead, it was her son who was home with a gun.

"It's easy to talk about what you'd do," Chris Vaughn said, "but it's different when you're in the middle if it."
Vaughn was checking on the livestock at about 1:15 p.m. when he spotted a car he didn't recognize in the driveway at the house. He pulled up to block it in, called police, and pulled out his pistol, for which he has a concealed carry permit.

1. Sounds like Vaughn did a good job - no one hurt and a felon safely off the street

I think it's interesting to note that MO does have a 'castle law', and yet the homeowner did not indiscriminately open fire (even though the car-ramming probably gave him a legally reasonable excuse)...
