If Only They Had A Gun

Charlotte County Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit detectives reportedly solved a second armed home invasion robbery charging the same pair that allegedly committed the same offense of home invasion on Tuesday, Sept. 2 morning in a paraplegic’s Port Charlotte home. Detectives tied in Michael Christian Moritz, 20, 27337 Neaptide Dr., Deep Creek and juvenile Rick J. Benedict, 15, 27174 Sunnybrook Rd., Harbour Heights, to an Aug. 25 home invasion at 27082 Adams St., in Harbour Heights, according to the report. More information here.

In the above situation, and countless others, innocent people have been harmed by the action of a criminal. Had there been an armed, law abiding citizen in the area, tragedy may very well have been averted. Americans use guns for self defense every 13 seconds, and that is perhaps the best reason to have a gun. These people are certainly glad they had a gun for self defense.
