Victim of Violent Home Invasion Speaks; Credits Wife With Saving His Life with an AR 15

LITHIA, Fla. — The bruises and swelling on Jeremy King's face tells the story of a man on the receiving end of a brutal attack. But his actual account is far more harrowing than his injuries suggest.

• Two masked men armed with guns entered the victim's home
• His pregnant wife retreated and grabbed an AR-15
• Suspect Shot, Killed During Home Invasion In Lithia

“I’ve got a fractured eye socket, a fractured sinus cavity, a concussion, 20 stitches and three staples in my head,” said King, outside his home on Old Welcome Road in Lithia. “I took a severe beating.”

King said he was inside his home Wednesday when two masked men armed with guns barged in around 9:00pm. He said he doesn't know who they are, never met them and has no idea why he was targeted. Both men pointed guns at King while demanding money.

“They came in heavily hooded and masked. As soon as they had got the back door opened, they had a pistol on me and was grabbing my 11-year-old daughter,” he said.

Good for her. Hope they don't loose too much sleep over it. Incidents like that can upset a stable family.
I'd love to move to the middle of nowhere where I can open carry an AR pistol in 458 socom in my home and around my yard without my nosy ass neighbors blowing a gasket.

Stories like this justify why I have my gun on me while lounging on the couch. Rushing to get to your gun as they're coming through the door is just a bit too late. Good for Mom!

Got one and missed one ... she may have lost her whole family if she only had an FUAC 10 round magazine instead of a normal magazine. She may have even missed the one predator if she was handicapped by FUAC's restricted features.
