Lawyer pulls gun on intruder armed with spoon
http://www.wapt.com/r/29053595/detail.html

Curt Crowley said he was working late at his office in the 200 block of West Capitol Street in downtown Jackson, when he heard a noise at the door. The veteran defense lawyer said he grabbed his gun and carefully opened the door.

"And, I'm standing there, like this. I was aimed right at his forehead and he never moved after I told him not to," Crowley said.

The man was only armed with a spoon. Crowley was able to hold him until police arrived.

1. What is it with these reporters/editors and their silly commentaries?
Does anyone think the intruder really considered himself to be "armed" with a spoon?

"I'm going to break into some houses. I should take a weapon with me. Club? Knife? Nah--I'll use a spoon! That'll scare anyone!"

Better living through superior firepower.

9. Good thing the intruder wasn't armed with a spork.


Then deadly force would have been justified.

14. Good thing "robber" didn't run into some of our gunners -- he might have been shot, maybe in back.

17. Fortunately for you, your moms' basement is still safe.
No dumbed-down bullets or red dot sights for you to worry about....
