CHATTANOOGA, TN (WRCB) -
UPDATE: A Chattanooga family wakes up to find burglars inside their home, but it was the homeowner's gun that he bought days prior that scared them off.

"One had a tire iron and the guy that was demanding the money maced me and while he was macing me he was telling the guy with the tire iron to hit me because i wasn't complying with his demands," Andrew Buckland said.

Buckland describes the intense moments early Thursday morning inside his Fairfax Drive home.

"I leaned down and grabbed my pistol and I cocked it and got it all ready and the sound was enough to scare them off," he said, "It was money well spent. Even though I didn't get to fire it off, I don't want to harm anyone. I just want them to leave me alone."

Yet, since corpses and blood didn't result, controllers disqualify this as a DGU. Eleanors38 Nov 2015 #1

Wrong gun. beardown Nov 2015 #2

I stand corrected. My Service-Six .357 must be one of many proof of concepts... Eleanors38 Nov 2015 #3

Gee, can't please them ever. Sort of like that Catch 22 where an armed individual thwarts a MassShooting™ didn't really thwart a MassShooting™ because a MassShooting™ didn't occur because the individual (didn't) thwart a MassShooting™.

Quite logical, Captain.

Only the Ruger 666 turns the owner into a hair trigger, stand your ground, blood lusting, instant killer. Other guns, not so much.
