Sussex County Burglary Thwarted - The Rest Of The Story

Recommended Posts

The following story appeared in the NJ Herald yesterday. The story itself is sparse on details. After taking the trouble to kick the door in, a burglar was confronted by the female home owner. He then chose to leave. Why? The story didn't say.

 

Now, today, read the comments on the story to get the Paul Harvey version. Apparently the neighbors are somewhat tight knit.

This is why my house is in Condition One, even in the woods.

 

Come to think of it, especially in the woods.

 

Merry Christmas!

The synopsis:

 

"Knock knock. Anyone home?"

 

No answer.

 

"Then I think I'll kick the back door in... and into the kitchen I go... "

 

"Oops... is that a blender, or a .38 Special in your hand ma'am?"

 

Buh bye.

How about some polite emails to the writer:

 

[email protected]

 

Asking that they print a correction or edit including the most important part of the story? 

 

*Edit, from the comment section:

 

"Thanks for the comments. New Jersey State Police would not confirm if the woman did or did not have a gun. -Jessica Masulli Reyes New Jersey Herald"

 

Really?  Maybe we should find out and correct her?

Reporter already stated that

 

Thanks for the comments. New Jersey State Police would not confirm if the woman did or did not have a gun. -Jessica Masulli Reyes New Jersey Herald

But she edited out the part where she said if they do confirm it,  they would print it ------hmm why did she edit her comment

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
