Gun jams in Durban North attack

[schumi]

A DURBAN North homeowner’s life was spared when the gun that was aimed at him jammed. According to Marshall Security the Haleric Road resident was in his home when five suspects stormed in and attempted to rob him.

“Shortly after 7am on Tuesday, Marshall Security Armed Reaction officers responded to an attempted house robbery in Haleric Road, Durban North. Reports from the scene indicate that five men, two armed with pistols jumped over a boundary wall and began attempting to smash through a front door to the home when they were confronted by the homeowner,” said Marshall Security’s Kyle van Reenen.

So where was his firearm?
No sympathy if people choose to rely on a 20 min police response time instead of looking after themselves.

Going fists with multiple armed assailants..... not wise but lucky for him.

I agree. Screw any sympathy for murdered farmers as well.

Imagine saying this about a child who was held up at gun point.

What a curious point of view.

I see your point, but not all of us can have (legal) firearms.

Out of interest, when is Paul O'Sullivan getting arrested?

Why is that? Just for interest sake.

A lucky day -- and -- a possible reason ?

Remarkably their weapons jammed preventing the shots from being discharged.

He either goes to church and gets on his knees
or
Purchases a LOTTO ticket
or
Does both

IF the slide of a pistol is pushed ever slightly rearwards ( out of lock ) it WILL NOT FIRE !

Don't be a hero. Climb into the ceiling or lock yourself in the bathroom and wait it out.

Even better make a panic room. Build a strong as **** security door behind your bathroom door or fork out and get one of these. Pick the bathroom/toilet as they will be less inclined to waste time on a room that typically contains no valuables.

Just making yourself a target with a setup like that

Is it wrong to be amused seeing [MENTION=222878]Solarion[/MENTION] and [MENTION=379186]BeerIsNotGood[/MENTION] having a conversation, almost like a yin and yang ongoing...

A target made out of steel!

Not far from where I say... seems to be an increasing trend in the area. Late last year a similar thing happened in the same road as me and a few days later the bottle store up the road was robbed.

Before those, this kind of thing was unheard of in our area, not that it was crime free, just not armed home invasions.

 

[Eniigma]

Both guns jammed?

Would also be interesting to know the response time for the security company as this was less than 1km from their offices and they often have a response unit parked outside and the road this happened in is directly off the road their offices are in.
