NV: Home Owner Uses Semi-Auto Carbine in Self Defense
In the video,the homeowner says that he saw three men stalking the house. One broke in with a mask and a hammer. The homeowner fired two shots; then his rifle jammed, as the intruder ran off. From ktnv.com:
Investigators say a homeowner shot at a man he believed was breaking into his home. The suspect was able to escape.
Years ago, most self defense stories did not show the gun that was used, but a trend seems to be developing where reporters and news directors are backing away from the policy of spiking or ignoring self defense stories; and are realizing that people are interested in the guns that were used in these events. In this case the semi-automatic rifle is a pistol caliber carbine. It appears to be chambered in 9×19 commonly called the 9mm parbellum, or Luger.
The rifle is the newer version using the Glock magazines; Feather rifles made before 2008 use UZI style magazines. The Feather pistol caliber carbines are commonly found in the political lists of “assault weapons”.
I expect that we will see more self defense stories with pictures of the firearms used in the future.
