Video Of Home Invasion In Kentucky

Startling video released by the Warren County, Kentucky sheriff’s office gives us a front seat to a real-life home invasion.
This is not a drill, and the bullets are real.
It happened in Bowling Green at the Country Living Estates Mobile Home Park. The video shows four intruders busting through the front door and charging into the living room.
The apparent leader of the crew has a gun. He turns a corner and suddenly he is confronted by another man with a gun, the homeowner Austin Orwig.
There are gunshots. You can see the flashes.
The home invasion crew turns around and runs away.
Police tell us Orwig was shot in the hand He was flown to a hospital in Louisville for treatment.
Streaming the video was laborious for me and I don’t want to embed it here and slow down my web site hosting service. You can watch it if you want, or not. Four of what I’m sure are the brightest, most well-behaved boys in the world who wouldn’t do something like that, probably according to their mothers, did something like that.
Four … home … invaders.
What was that about not needing an AR-15 or standard capacity magazines for home defense? Gosh. It just seems like the narrative is a damn lie.

And I am supposed to believe that the home owner didn’t hit ONE of the intruders? At close range? WTF?

Breaking into a mobile home in Kentucky and surprised the owner has a gun? That really does not seem to be above the risk / reward line.

A Mobile Home and its Neighborhood would Not be a good Place for any Homeowner using an AR in 5.56, the chances of Ventilating a Non-involved person next door would be Too Great, IMO.
Shotgun, or maybe AR Pistol in 9 or .45, with hollow points.

According to the Box o’Truth website, the only round that will not penetrate multiple sheetrock walls, standard construction of sheetrock front and back on 2×4 studs, is birdshot. 5.56 will break up and tumble wildly but it would easily go through 4 walls set 10′ apart. The handgun rounds would usually clog and continue on a straight line. Buckshot and slugs both penetrate rather well.
The moral of the story seems to be “Don’t spray and pray, aim and hit what you are aiming at.” or use birdshot.

Gryphon and Chris,
And besides, first shot landed wins the gunfight, regardless of caliber, well over 99% of the time. That’s the best reason to hit what you intend. In self defense, getting an assailant to disengage is all that is needed and even desired.
