Some places, you just don’t mess around

Another of those armed homeowner incidents Progressive gun-grabbers say never happens.

“A news release issued by the SCSO states that before the shooting happened, deputies had been called to investigate a report of an intoxicated person on Cedar Creek Rd. who was making threats over the phone to the homeowner and was armed with a gun. It was later learned that the intoxicated person was a Marshall resident.

“A few minutes later, deputies headed to the scene were told that the homeowner, who was still on the phone with dispatchers, feared for his safety and the safety of his family and had fired shots at the intruder.

“When deputies arrived moments later, they saw through the open door of the home, that a man was lying dead on the floor several feet inside and that what appeared to be a rifle, was lying next to him.

“During the course of the investigation, it was determined that the deceased suspect had unlawfully entered the home and was confronted by the homeowner.”

Stone County is in way North Central Arkansas. Mountain View is the county seat. The 2010 population was 12,394, with 97.3% identifying as White. That percentage of White people in that part of Arkansas, you can bet the percentage of gun owners is way high, and the number of legal firearms is near or greater than the total population.

The dead dude was intoxicated and armed, two-thirds of the way to totally stupid.
