Defensive gun use stories from Texas and Florida

Florida has a case where a resident "turns the tables on would-be robber."



The case from Texas is here.

A Grand Prairie homeowner was on the phone with 911 operators when he shot a knife-wielding intruder who was later identified as a neighbor, police said.
It happened about 2:30 p.m. in the 2000 block of Clark Trail. The resident heard a side window shatter and armed himself with a .40 caliber handgun, police said.
The suspect, Gilberto Balderas, 21, was shot in the stomach. He lives just blocks away -- on the same street.
"I'm still in shock," said neighbor Lena Tinajero. "I can't believe it. You know, you don't think, you never never think it's your neighbors -- especially if you know them, so I'm still in disbelief." . . .
