Armed Polk County Homeowner Walked In During Burglary On His Home
Polk County Defensive Gun Use
https://bit.ly/2CHLudt
Homeowners have the right to protect themselves and their property in Polk County, and that's exactly what one legal gun owner in Haines City did when he came home to find two burglars in his kitchen.
According to the Haines City Police Department in Polk County, the homeowner returned to his home with his girlfriend and puppy around 1:30 a.m. on Friday.
When he flipped on the light switch, he saw two strangers standing in his kitchen, mere feet away from him. Fearing for his and his girlfriend's safety, the homeowner pulled out his 9mm handgun and fired five shots at the suspect closest to him.
The homeowner then left his house and drove to the police department to report the incident. On the way there, he was stopped by police and interviewed about what had occurred.
Meanwhile, officers used a K9 to search for the two suspects, who were in the process of stealing jewelry from the home at the time they were interrupted. One of the suspects, Tyriek Washington, was later found at a nearby park with four bullet wounds. Despite having committed a felony, the police provided him with quick medical care, which ultimately saved his life.
The homeowner in this incident is not facing any trouble, as the evidence at this time suggests that this was a case of stand your ground.
Chief Greg Goreck hopes that this case will serve as a deterrent for other would-be burglars, showing them that homeowners will not hesitate to defend themselves and their property.
However, as important as the gun is when it comes to self-defense, it's also about the training and ensuring you're prepared.
That's why I'm a USCCA member.
It's an easy way to cover all my bases if I ever had to use my gun in self-defense.
I could find myself in a costly legal case to prove that using my gun was justified.
The beautiful thing about a USCCA membership is that you don't just get self-defense insurance; you also get access to their treasure trove of education and training programs.
