Fresh out of the kiln

He was online this morning. I really hope he writes me back and tells me this isn't true.

He was shot 3 times by a home invasion. He got shot protecting his fiance and is in the icu. I thought he passed away, but it was the intruder who died on the scene.
She said she heard a bang, dan got up to inspect thinking it was just the dog, heard 3 shots and a struggle and walked out to him shooting the intruder and then collapsed. Fucked up shit. Stupid cops told me it was dan that died when i showed up... But he might just make it. Its looking good. The bullets went in his leg when he struggled to get the gun away. Nothing major was hit. The intruder was DOA.
This all happened so fast and i thought I lost my best friend.
His fiance was on his phone trying to see if there was any sign of why this happened. The police said the intruder already had a van full of home goods, so it looks like it was just flint luck...

TIME TO MOVE

I'll keep y'all updated. When i see an article I'll post it also

Im a new glassblower too, and he always talked about this forum like it was his home. I figured I should tell y'all what I know.

That seems inappropriate really. What, so you can shoot someone too, and add to the death count from guns?

Anyway, lets not argue about it. I just fully do not agree with your statement.

I called his girl to get an update, he made it through surgery and is recovering. Mother fucka really is bulletproof...
He has guns, but his other hobby makes it illegal to have them in his house without a locked gun case. He didn't have time to grab one. So he Chuck Norrised his ass and shot the guy with his own gun. Physically he will live, mentally he will need some help. Killing someone fucks you up in the head. Even if it was in self defense...
Im at his house cleaning up so they dont come home to this mess. Cops don't do shit but hand you a cleaning company card...

That's fine with me as well, agree to disagree on this topic.

**LowTideGlass** · 04-13-2017, 11:49 AM

Wow this is nuts. I am glad Dan made it through surgery ok. Best wishes to all involved with the situation.

HMK, while this certainly isn't the place to have this discussion I must say that I don't see anything inappropriate with someone saying this is why they have guns.

Self protection should be just that, protection as a last resort. You are not going out trying to do someone else harm, but if someone is trying to do harm to you or a loved one, having access to a firearm to put an end that that harm seems completely logical to me.

sorry for no pics, i owe this thread some anyways,
but i just wanted to say im glad he is ok, hope he recovers quickly.

**harpentuan** · 04-13-2017, 12:14 PM

Heal quickly Dan. You acted very brave.
