Video of man defending home against men armed with AR-15

This is a pretty amazing video. Four men, one armed with an AR-15, attempt a daylight robbery in Tucson. In no time they are quickly running for their lives as the homeowner defends his home with a gun firing two or three shots into the drivers side of the getaway car’s windscreen.

LiveLeak reports:

The robbery happened in broad dayligh More..t at a home on West Vande Loo Street. All the action was caught by the homeowners outdoor surveillance system.

The victim was able to get back inside his house, close his door, semi barricade it, reach for a weapon that was easily accessible.

The homeowner shot at the suspects.
He even put a bullet through the windshield of the suspects car, which is also caught on camera.

No doubt that guy had at least some training. There is a discussion about this at ar15.com

Reader of the blog, Jay, reckons this may be related to the crime that has crossed the border. Phoenix, two hours drive further away from the Mexican border, is now the #2 city in world for kidnappings!

Big thanks to Jay for the links.

    You guys are assuming it was an attempted burglary. Looks like a hit squad to me.

    Yep. A couple of them looked Latino. On the other hand, this guy had security systems most of us dont. He may not be such a good guy himself!

    /Yes. I’m Latino, so dont give me grief about profiling.

    And they want to take our guns away. I doubt there will be another robbery near there for a while.

    Ahem.

    This happened in North Nogales (aka Tucson). Please do sully the great name of Phoenix by comparing it in any way to it’s stunted sibling to the south.

    Oh, and GO SUN DEVILS!!!!

    Too bad he couldn’t have had more firepower at his disposal. A couple of heavy dogs might have helped distract too. My Presa Canario would not let anyone get within steps of the garage without fully engaging.

    Two things that kept him alive:
    1. Firearm.
    2. Was aware of the home invasion.

    From the grouping of the bullet holes on the windshield, I think he is well verse in shooting a pistol. Better then cops that’s for sure.
