Oklahoma, OK, (CCW Magazine) “Three Oklahoma teenagers were killed last week when they broke into a house and were met by a homeowner with an AR-15. Now the grandfather of one of the teenagers is speaking out about his grandson's death. According to KTUL-TV, Leroy Schumacher, grandfather of 17-year-old Jacob Redfearn, believes the death of Redfearn was unjustified because the homeowner's AR-15 gave him an unfair advantage over the three burglars. Speaking to KTUL, Schumacher acknowledged that breaking into a house was "stupid," but death was not the appropriate consequence. "What these three boys did was stupid," Schumacher said. "They knew they could be punished for it but they did not deserve to die." "Brass knuckles against an AR-15? C'mon. Who was afraid for their life?" Schumacher said.”

“PENSACOLA, Fla. (WALA/Gray News) – A homeowner in Florida fired an AK-47-style gun at three invaders in self-defense, officials said.
According to Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons, one person has been arrested in the case, but officials are still looking for the other two suspects.
The home invasion took place just before midnight on July 7. The incident was captured on home surveillance video.
At least one of the suspects was armed, as seen in the video.
Simmons said the suspects forced their way into the home. The homeowner had a handgun, but it was wrestled away by one of the suspects. The homeowner then ran to another room to grab another weapon.
“The homeowner went and got an AK-47-style gun, and he started shooting for his own protection to get them out of his house and to protect himself,” Simmons said.
The three invaders are seen on video running away after the homeowner began shooting. Officials said the homeowner will face no penalties for acting in self-defense.”
Another one:
“Around 8:20 PM on the night of July 10, 2019, four men broke into a veteran’s home and attempted to rob him. The criminals were armed, but unfortunately for them, so was the homeowner. After being woken by a loud noise, the homeowner grabbed his AR-15 to defend himself.
The homeowner told deputies that he doesn’t remember who fired first, but he and Keith Jackson Jr. exchanged gunfire. It is unclear how many rounds were fired. But in the aftermath, two of the criminals were hit and so was the homeowner.”
Yet another one:
“It happened in Lithia, about 25 miles outside of Tampa.
Jeremy King said two masked men entered his home, pointed guns at him and his 11-year-old daughter, and demanded money. He said the two men then began pistol-whipping and kicking him when he said he didn't have any.
King said his wife, who is eight-months-pregnant, heard the commotion and opened the bedroom door to see what was happening.
One of the robbers then shot at her. That's when she grabbed the semi-automatic rifle and opened fire.”
Another one:
“AUBURN, Ind. (WANE) — An Auburn homeowner shot two suspected armed intruders dead and held two more at gunpoint early Sunday.”
I could keep going, but why? Gun grabbers make it seem like a defender will never face multiple attackers, when the reality is that wolf packs are growing increasingly popular.
Three rounds? I suppose you would prefer it if a defender had to reload during a fight for his/her life. Perhaps you’re with that granddad who believes a gun with a “high capacity” magazine gives a defender an unfair advantage over their attackers.
“If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics are poor,” Gregg Kielma.
