Seen this... "My good friend and relic partner for the last 20 yrs. got shot"

These things shouldn't happen! (Not my friend)




My good friend and relic partner for the last 20 yrs. got shot today and died as someone tried to rob him inside his home early this morning. I will miss him.

This is not my friend, although the name seems a little familiar. I wonder if he was a regular relic poster on the forums.

AH ok you meant to quote them from another forum.
This happened to my grandfather in the mid-80's.
Though he lived, with 2 gunshot wounds, he never was completely healthy and died 5 years later.
He was a retired 2x war vet and a farmer.
He kept all of his war time medals/buckles/etc and his fathers.
He also plowed up all sorts of things on his 300 acre property.
He was usually a quiet fellow, few friends, kept to himself and his family.
He employed a man to help during harvest and the man saw all his relics/etc.
On a bender the man told some other men what my grandfather had stashed in his office.
These 3 men tried to rob my grandfather, although they shot him twice, he was able to fill them full of buckshot, live and nothing was taken.
He kept the office locked and his items in a wall safe, after that and didn't let on he had these things.
You can't trust people, especially now of days.
Your accomplishments and prized possessions can one day go against you.
This is sad indeed.

Man that just sucks! You know everyone who does collecting of any kind has to keep pretty much everything under wraps. With today and the way things are happening, even more people will be targeted. Pretty damn shame!

Thanks for the reminder on the motion light as I have been meaning to get that done. (Had an unwanted visitor last Summer trying to get through the window but changed his mind when the dug started to bark)

Sorry to hear this. In this day & age this can happen anywhere from the city streets to the
poshest neighborhoods. Funny how they never report how many lives were SAVED by a
homeowner being armed to protect their family or themselves.

So sorry about your friend :(
Law enforcement response time in our rural area to a 911 shooting call is 45 minutes at best . My wife and I are both licenced for concealed carry and are armed at all times .
Our early warning device is our Aussie stock dog . Working farm dog and house pet . She tells us at night if we have a critter (deer , skunk , 'coon , ect.) in our yard or a varmint that needs to become shot .

Hi my friends: Because of my past activities, I long ago learned to sleep with a pistol down by my hips. This has kept me here to bug you. Under a pillow or in a night stand is a no no.

Re: Seen this... "My good friend and relic partner for the last 20 yrs. got shot"

I live out in the sticks, call me paranoid or whatever, but during the day I keep a 45 tucked in the couch where I sit, at night it is by my side in the bed. My wife does the same, and she has a concealed carry licence. When I am gone, it is with me. I also keep other weapons in every room of the house if the need ever come up. I WILL NOT HESITATE TO USE THEM! I have shot people before... in war, and don't mind doing it again. Every One should be fully armed in these times. It won't be long before the government will make it impossible to do so. Arm yourselves! Times are getting worse no matter what they are telling you. It is better to have one and not need it, then to need it and not have it. It is our right under the constitution.

His name sounds familiar to me too for some reason.


BTW people, This is a tragic story, and a needless death and i'm sure he was a great guy and many people miss him but-

IT'S NOT HIS FRIEND


Sorry Iron Patch I had to do it. Maybe the third time will be the charm

A good (slimy) defence lawyer would cry "self defence!"..As the guy being robbed shot first and then cornered him in a bathroom."My client was shot,in pain and in fear for his life...so he defended himself your honour!"
Sadly the chances are these days of him winning and walking free!

In gentler times I disarmed them and turned them over to the cops.
These days I mark them and call 9-11 to haul their sorry asses to the
ER. I want to know them when i see them again and have too little
time left to spend it in court being sued for violating the civil rights
of people who forfeited their rights when they infringed on mine.
Every report like this whether I know the victim or not is a loss for
our people. Every one that ends with the perp dead is a victory.
