Not the Smartest Move

Breaking into a house owned by a retired Marine. Four thugs learned that lesson recently, when they did just that. Good gun training says that you should never shoot unless a threat is verified. When he opened his door, a thug pointed a gun at him. Threat verified. That Marine, who wisely had his gun in his hand, slammed the door shut and fired several times through the door. Fortunately for the “bad guys,” they had all moved out of the way and were not hit. But they fled, and were “scooped up” by the cops soon after. Chris Barrientos, the only adult among them, was taken to jail. The three minors' names have not been released. The knock on the door came at almost 2 AM, so it was suspicious, which is why he had his gun in his hand. Being a Marine (there is no such thing as a “former Marine”) he was ready. Which is why he didn't become a victim. Islamic terrorists should take note, for later use when they consider killing innocent people in America. There are lots of “retired Marines” in this country.
