"They should be arrested."

Police are calling a man lucky to be alive after he attempted to commit burglary in a firearm-friendly neighborhood. First he broke into a home owned by Avi Manges, who quickly got her pistol when her barking dogs alerted her to the danger. "I hollered, 'Who's there? I've got a gun!'" Manges explained. The intruder looked through a window, confirmed Manges was armed and fled.

Shortly thereafter, the suspect entered another residence; the homeowner heard a commotion and got his 9 mm pistol. He spotted the suspect, pointed the gun at him and held him for police. "If [the burglar] had threatened them, he would have been shot," police Sgt. Roderick O'Connor said. "You go busting into a house, they don't know what your intent is."

According to O'Connor, all the suspect had to say for himself was, "Those guys pointed guns at me. They should be arrested."

The only charges filed were against the suspect. (Glenwood Post, Glenwood, Colorado, 04/29/10)(further posted in America's 1st Freedom, July 2010)
