??And I walked out of the house and I went around and confronted those guys on the side of the house. So, I aimed at him and said, ??You sneeze, you're dead man.?? And I called the other guy out of the garage. I watch a lot of movies it sounded like a good thing to say. It got his attention."

Nathaniel Brooks stole a line from an old Western movie to capture a pair of burglars.
A Fort Bend County homeowner fought back when he found burglars in his home.
??You know there's something about when you hear a pump shotgun click,? said Nathaniel Brooks. ??It makes everybody think twice.?
And the two burglars did think twice.
??You are trying to steal something out of my garage,? Brooks recalled telling the robbers. ??You in my garage so you have no rights now. This is my house.?
He saw them through his back door rummaging through his garage.
??And I walked out of the house and I went around and confronted those guys on the side of the house,? he said. ??So, I aimed at him and said, ??You sneeze, you're dead man.?? And I called the other guy out of the garage.
"I watch a lot of movies it sounded like a good thing to say. It got his attention."
Brooks held them at attention until deputies got there two minutes later.
??I feel like I reacted like every homeowner should react,? said Brooks.
Deputies have praised Nathaniel for what he did, said he is well within his rights to do what he did. But they also say he helped them catch someone who has done this many, many times before.
The suspects are Brian Bostic and Richard Holly. Deputies say this isn't Bostic's first time to be arrested for a break in.
Meanwhile, Brooks has the praise of his neighbors.
"I think it's fabulous I wish more people would do it,? said neighbor Charlotte Priest. "I don't blame him. I'd do the same thing myself."
Even Brooks own wife said in 20 years of marriage she had never heard this tough talking guy before.
"And I have never seen that side of him. It??s like I'm a newlywed now,? said Vanessa Brooks.
Yes, life is good again on Cinco Park Place where burglars are reminded to listen, and think twice.
??Don't go to my house. I wouldn't come to my house if I were you,? said Brooks.

Here in Washington you'd be in big trouble if he'd shot them unless you knew enough about the law to cover your as. You can't shoot someone outside your house unless he's threatened you with a weapon or made a verbal threat. So i guess you'd just have to shoot both of them to CYA

Howdy killerweed,
Well here in Texas,we just expanded the rights of self-defense of property--it is now legal to shoot someone trying to take yer car or other posessions,outside of the home and on yer property.
One should also be mindful of the fact that when crank-heads and crack-heads are full of dope,that it's harder to kill em,so don't have anything less than a 38 or 410 shotgun..and be prepared to do more than a double-tap too. I have 5 rounds in the tube,of my tactical 12,along with a side-saddle on the breech,with another 5 rounds and another butt-stock carrier with 5 rounds,I could take out a car full of sneak thieves. :thumbsup:
Have a good one ! :jointsmile:

Hey Torog, don't seem like we agree on much, But on this we are 100%. I have a tactical Black 12 Guage pump, 00 Buck is the prefered load, just something about 9-33 caliber lead balls all going in the same direction that kinda makes a perp stop and think. I also have my sturdy springfield armory 1911 that is always loaded and ready and have a carry permit for that, my glock 9mm, and my little .380. Nevada is still the wild-wild west in some respects. we keep getting these california pussies moving in, so I don't know how long it will last, but I am armed and ready. The law is a little more ambigous in Nevada. You have to spend a few grand on an attorney here to get off for shooting someone on your property, As long as there are no witnesses, you are all right as long as you don't know him, killing someone you know is usually called murder. And damn if that aint usually the ones that cross your mind time to time,~LOL~.

would you really call that expanding? or would you call it getting back something that was unconstitutionally taken away from you in the first place...
you need to get rid of your slave mentality, torog.

Howdy medicinal,
Now yer talkin ! :thumbsup:
I live in a trailer and we had some kids in the trailer behind me,so I reloaded my 12 with #7 to prevent over-penetration,but they are gone now so it's back to the double-ought and I even have triple-ought. How about that there 380 of yers,can ya carry it in a back-up holster on yer ankle or do ya just have a permit for the 45 ?
The thing is,when yer living in a small town or the boonies,you can't depend on anyone but yerself;so i hope that Nevada eases up on y'all some more.
Have a good one ! :thumbsup:

Damn straight! This is why im a republican (well besides a few other things but this is really up there). Almost everyone should have a gun (of course SOME people shouldnt but in general) just for reasons like this. The NRA magazine I get monthly always has a page or two about this sort of shit. Its fabulous when people can defend themselves. This is what america was founded on.
'You Sneeze,You're Dead Man'
i live in australia
i totally disagree with america's laws on guns
a gun is deadly weapon and only police should have them
i dont give a fuck if someone is stealing your car u do not have the right to shoot them
i am not saying u can not defend yourself but a gun isnt the way to do it
when i was 14 i held state the state title for boxing
learn to swing a punch before you learn to use a gun
peace

Hell I agree, but face it, guns will always be here, better be with one than without one.
'You Sneeze,You're Dead Man'
^ But outlawing guns doesnt solve anything! Sure you and me wont have guns but the criminals will. What, do you think that the criminals wont have the guns if theres a law in place? No, they will. There criminals. The only thing that will happen is that the innocent people will be defensless.
And what about people who can't physically defend themselves? Like some women or the elderly?
Besides, Australia isnt any safer. The crime rate hasn't dropped one bit.
WorldNetDaily: Crime up Down Under
Besides, whats next? Banning pointy knives? Or rocks?
And if someone IS after me, like robbing my house I have a FULL right to shoot them if their coming at me. Its my right to life.
'You Sneeze,You're Dead Man'
^I agree with Rebgirl. I wish that guns were never invented in the first place because I beleive they have brought society down, but since theyre here and never going to leave, everyone should be entitled to one. Reb is right, outlawing firearms would make it so criminals would be the only ones armed, leaving citizens defenseless.
'You Sneeze,You're Dead Man'
the sole purpose of a gun is to KILL...why are we advocating MORE of these things in our society?
i understand the need for self defense because we don't live in a perfect world and there are plenty of bad people in it, but i think the problem with gun control will only get worse if we have more of them out and about and easier to get...anyone agree?
btw rebgirl thank you for taking away one of my precious boxes. :(
haha jk! : )
'You Sneeze,You're Dead Man'
Gun control is such an odd topic for me.
I like the idea of people protecting themselves with whatever means they have (ie: guns) but I also think it'd be pretty scary if (nearly) everyone had guns, because some people just can't be trusted with them... I'd even go so far as to say many people couldn't be trusted with them in public.
Sigh. In your own home, you should have that right, no ifs ands or buts. In public, it's hard for me to make that leap, as it's so logical yet illogical at the same time.

Howdy Y'all,
Never ever forget-the one thing that dictators and criminals fear the most--is a bullet--because there ain't a human being alive that can out-run a bullet. :thumbsup:
And don't make the fatal mistake of calling 911 or whatever yer country's emergency number is,because the cops can't be everywhere at once and they can't be sued for failing to protect you or yer family.
Guns are also for hunting and would come in very handy if the supply line to yer local grocery store is interuppted for more than 3 days,as most stores only carry that much,if not less.
For those foolish enough to trust a stranger for yer own defense..well..ye shall reap what ye sow..and don't come crying to those who know better.
I hope that this reply is seen by those who have already chosen to give up on personal defense,as it seems that replies are being lost,when they're done within the body of the thread,there's some kind of database error going on.
Have a good one ...
