[Imada Duty]

I'm going to share a personal story as some food for thought. About 6 six months my cousin Amy(fake names) and her husband Gary got up and took there son to school. Like they do most days. They get home, sit down and within 10 minutes of coming home someone starts beating on the door. They get through one door and now Gary is holding the second door shut. Eventually Gary decides to let the door go and grab one of the 2 guys. He opens the door and during the tussle Gary gets shot right in the face,gun pointing up towards his teeth taking out half his nose at point blank range. Now i don't think the guy wanted to shoot him because in that moment when they saw the blood they got spooked and took off. The messed up part is they left behind a cardboard box and zip ties. I can only assume these guys staked out my cousin, thought she was home alone and planned on tying her up while they robbed her. The ironic part is Gary is gangsta. Hes got the rims, he's got the money, and i know he has guns but Amy wont allow them in her house. We talked about that day and we both agreed even in the heat of the moment he would have went for his gun and had a chance to shoot back while they tried to get through the second door. Gary is fine now. The worst part was the gun powder that got in his eye. But his vision is back he's just missing one tooth and he has a brand new nose. This story does have a some what happy ending though. Everything happened very fast but Amy was able to see what the guy looked like. The cops took her in for a sketch rendering so she made copies and she was giving them out to us in the family so we started looking on the internet for this guy. Low and behold my uncle tom finds a match while looking at mug shots. He gave the name to the cops and they managed to match a security camera video of the getaway car to the guys girlfriend. That was enough to bring him in for a line up and seeing him in person Amy and Gary positively ID-ed him. There still going to court but i doubt he'll get off. Just some food for thought but i would love to see what the anti-gun people would think after something like that happened to your family. The gun was already owned illegally, is this one more law going to be the one that makes these guys stop buying them. UNLIKELY.
