Home Invasion!

In York, Pa, a city close to mine, a man broke into a home at 1:30am, shot the homeowner and took a car, police said.

Connie Cooper, 64, was working in her office and heard a noise and went downstairs to find a man wearing gloves and a ski mask downstairs, police said. 

She alerted her husband, 66-year-old William Cooper, who was sleeping upstairs, police said. He came down, struggled with the man and was shot in the chest.

William Cooper is in critical condition at York Hospital.

After he was shot, his wife locked herself in her office. The intruder broke down the door and demanded her car keys. She gave the man her purse and he made his getaway in the family’s blue Hyundai Elantra.

The article also states that the stolen card was found in Maryland and towed back to the York crime lab. The man is still on the loose. The police said they think the break in was random.

This type of crime occurs every day somewhere. What would have caused a better outcome in this case?  Let’s say instead of coming down and grappling with the man, he used his TASER that he keeps in his bedroom and shot the intruder with it at a distance of about 12 feet. The man would have gone down immediately, he would have called the police who would have arrested the man and taken him away. No shot husband.

Let’s say the husband instead had a high voltage stun gun on his night table. He goes downstairs, grapples with the intruder and immediately stuns the man in the neck, in the ribs, anywhere and everywhere he could. When the man goes down, the man grabs the gun. While his wife calls the police, he stands next to the incapacitated man, stunning him whenever he attempts to focus.

Let’s suppose the husband had neither of these self defense items.  But he did have ultra hot pepper spray under the bed which he quickly retrieved. From a distance of 8 feet, he sprays the intruder in the face. The man gasps, his hand go to his eyes but he can’t rub them clear. In essence, he is temporarily blind. They call the police who take the intruder away. The husband is safe, the wife has her purse and the car is in the garage.

Nothing more needs to be said. Stun guns and pepper spray and safe effective and inexpensive self defense product. Consumer model TASERs are more sophisticated and cost more but have a virtually 100% sure and quick take down power. That’s why police use them.
