The 2nd Amendment in action: Texas homeowner protects his family from felon breaking into his home
Texas law allows a homeowner to protect his “castle” and his family by lethal force, and that’s exactly what happened here.
A southwest Harris County homeowner shot and killed a man he discovered climbing into a window of his house at about 2:15 a.m. today, investigators said.
Steven Dunbar, who apparently lived several blocks away, died in the window of the home in the 3400 block of Cascadia, Harris County sheriff’s homicide Det. Rolf Nelson said.
The 33-year-old homeowner, Damon Barone, was asleep in the house with his wife, a son, 6, and an infant daughter when he heard a loud noise, Nelson said.
“The homeowner says he heard a loud noise, possibly a gunshot, that startled him out of bed,” Nelson said. “As he got up, he said he heard another loud noise and he said the house was shaking.”
Carrying a pistol, Barone was on his way to investigate the noises when he heard glass breaking in a bedroom.
“When he entered that bedroom, he said he saw a burglar coming through a broken window,” Nelson said. “He shot several times and struck the burglar several times, killing him at the scene.”
Deputies found a screen door on the back of the house torn from its metal frame, Nelson said.
“He’s got a pretty extensive criminal record of felonies over the last 13 years,” Nelson said of Dunbar, 44. “He has at least 12 arrests for felonies and a half-dozen convictions. We don’t know if he was intent on some other crime or if it was a burglary for something he could turn into money.”
The world is not a friendly place. Sometimes, you do what you have to do to protect yourself and your loved ones. That may be an unpleasant thought for some people, but it’s a fact of life dating back to the day when humans first made their appearance on this planet.
If you want to be a sheep, and wait for the sheep dogs (police) to come rescue you from the wolves, then you might just find yourself as some wolf’s dinner.

Finally, the homeowner was able to do what law enforcement failed to do. Take the bad guy out of circulation permanently.
