BUFFALO, Minn. -- Steve Remer chased burglars from his Buffalo, Minn home with a gun after finding his bedroom door tied shut and unfamiliar noises around the house.
Fortunately:
Then, Remer heard an unfamiliar voice in the hallway. He grabbed his .357 handgun from the closet and chased the intruder down the stairs and out the front door, firing several shots at their stolen SUV on the way out.
I'm glad he could protect himself, but shooting the getaway vehicle, when it is no longer a threat isn't a good idea.
When Remer went back into the house, he found a second suspect locked in a bedroom.
“I said come on out -- put your hands on your head, I’ll show you a little about Hanoi,” Remer said, with a laugh.
It was meant as a joke to them, but Remer says the suspect didn’t take it lightly, instead jumping out a window and running off.
I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but here's some advice: Watch what you say. Dark humor, the media, and self-defense rarely work together in your favor. If you have to use a gun in self-defense, you should be talking to your lawyer, NOT a news crew or the police.
