Rifle Used To Thwart Home Invasion

A University of Georgia student used a rifle to chase away a burglar who kicked in his door while the student was napping Monday evening, according to a Athens-Clarke County police incident report.
The 25-year-old student told police he heard the door bell ring once, then four to five more times at his residence on Old Winterville Road at 7:50 p.m. He thought his roommate locked himself out or a neighbor needed him, so he started going downstairs when he “heard a loud bang.” He called downstairs and only heard a mumbled voice in return. The student grabbed his Marlin .270 rifle and called 911, according to the report.
When police arrived, they found the door frame torn off in the doorway.
A neighbor told police she saw a black male running from the victim’s residence to East Broad Street. She described him as wearing a white long sleeved shirt and a navy striped shirt on top. He was also wearing white pants and a white do-rag on his head. Other police units were notified, and they concluded the description matched that of a man who was suspected of other property crimes.
Later, Tolbert Lee Stanley, 44, of North Peter Street, was caught and charged with burglary. He was booked into the ACC jail Monday at 10:45 p.m. Stanley was named as a suspect on the incident report.
See the wonderful things that can be accomplished with a rifle? It may be an AR-15, but it doesn’t have to be. You use the tool you’ve got, and you fight government attempts to limit the tools at your disposal. It can just as well be a bolt action .270 if this is the tool of choice for you.
The .270 is a sweet round. You don’t want to be on the receiving end. The point is to make your choice and then make sure that your tool is ready for your use.
