Reminds me of a story from where I live that happened in the 90's.
A man parked his car and was heading into a local bank branch office to take care of some business.
Before he could enter, alarms went off and men came running out of the bank with bags and weapons brandished.
The man heading into the bank drew his pistol and put them down.
When the question came up whether that man was going to be prosecuted or not, the local DA was quoted as saying "that's one of the reasons we have concealed carry permits. So people don't have to be victims of violent criminals."
I grew up in Miami. A neighbor of one of my best friends had their house broken into while they were home. The husband grabbed his pump shotgun and defended the house. He had bird shot loaded, and in the melee took out some door jamb and punched a hole in the wall. Wound up winging the perp. Cops show up after getting called and take him off to jail. Before the cops departed, they handed the homeowner a handful of 'melee round' shotgun shells and told him (as I was told), "Next time make sure to take them out."
Melee rounds are shells with a mix of 00 Buck and bird shot.
An armed society is a polite society. This shouldn't be a discussion. Dwellings are protected by the 2nd AND 4th Amendments. Unless you have evidence to support a conspiracy to commit murder, there should be no questions after getting an idea of what happened. How I choose to defend my home is my choice and no one else's. There is never a reason to go into someone's home and if it's a Force Majeure type of situation, homeowners are NOT obligated to grant sanctuary so you seek it at your own risk.
Much of the Florida panhandle area, where this county is, is the way it was before the "great northern invasion" of Florida began in the 1960s, and accelerated in the '80s, to the unbelievable rate today. It's actually pretty amazing that Florida still votes Republican, considering all the people who have moved there from northern, Democrat states (but perhaps the exodus is dominated by Republican/conservatives?)

There was an old shot mix called "Malaya Load". It was, iirc, single 0 and #4 mix. Used by Brit troops during the "Malay Emergency".
Good spread while still keeping knockdown.
Get some of those 12 gauge, kevlar net, anti-drone rounds and choke them out bolas style.
We need many more Sheriffs like this.
Save me a click: was it Sheriff Grady Judd?
No actually, it was Sheriff Bob Johnston...cut from the same cloth though!
There it is again!

There will be a lot less break ins that way.
Watch out, burglars!!
Just in. Florida home invasions came to a screeching halt. Liberals are at a loss as to why.....

This guy is right up there with Sheriff Grady Judd from Polk County Florida, my other hero.
