Armed Self-Defense: Pennsylvania Home Invasion Stopped Thanks to the Application of Hot Lead
By John Boch • February 26, 2026 

Shattering glass broke the early morning calm in New Castle, Pennsylvania in recent days when a brazen home intruder smashed his way into a (formerly) quiet home. It all happened at 6a.m., hardly primetime for criminals, but bad guys rarely RSVP their attacks.

Meanwhile, Mr. Homeowner heard the crash of the breaking glass and sprang into action. In a matter of moments he retrieved his gun and moved to confront whoever had smashed his way in to protect his family and home.

The burglar then called Mr. Homeowner’s bluff. Maybe the intruder thought the homeowner didn’t have the stones to use actually his gun. Maybe the bad guy thought the gun wasn’t really loaded, just kept in the home as a magic talisman against evil.

The would-be burglar found out, however, that the gun was very real and that Mr. Homeowner had the stones to use it. A shot rang out, striking the intruder in the leg and dropping him right there.

The only color mentioned was red. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
