"I’ll buy another gun, vows senior who lost his after shooting intruder"

Here are two defensive gun use stories. I have frequently seen that felons what their right to have a gun restored more than any other right. From the Chicago Sun Times:

Homer Wright says he won’t hesitate to buy another gun — or use it to defend himself or his South Side tavern. The 81-year-old Englewood man who shot a teen who allegedly had broken into his home said Monday he was happy that weapons charges against him were dropped, but he was annoyed that cops had seized his gun. Wright said he will buy another one if he gets the chance. “I’ll get arrested again, if somebody be breaking in here. I’m going to use it,” Wright said. Prosecutors on Monday dropped weapons charges against Wright. He had been charged with unlawful use of a weapon because, as a felon, he is not allowed to have a gun. After a morning court appearance, Wright sat at the bar inside his Englewood tavern Monday afternoon, watching reruns of the 1970s cop drama, “Kojak.” . . .

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

A Dardenne Prairie man shot and killed an intruder who broke into his home last night and started beating the man's wife, authorities said. . . . St. Charles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Lt. Craig McGuire gave this account: The homeowners, Bob Lohman, 64, and his wife, Charlene Lohman, 57, were in the downstairs living room, watching television. Bob Lohman glanced over at the French-style doors, which lead to the yard, and saw a man looking through the doors at them. He got up to investigate, and a landscaping block flew through one of the windows on the doors, and then the doors flew open. Carlton came into the house, grabbed Charlene Lohman, dragged her to the floor, and began beating her. Lohman tried to get Carlton off his wife, but couldn't. So Bob Lohman went upstairs and grabbed a .38 caliber revolver, went downstairs and warned Carlton several times to get off his wife. But Carlton didn't, so Lohman shot him once in the upper torso. He then pulled Carlton off his wife and called police. . . .
