Homeowner tells burglar: ‘if you move, you’re gonna go to the morgue’

[Sam Fisher]

An Ohio woman held a would-be burglar at gunpoint until police arrived, warning him, “if you move, you’re gonna go to the morgue.”

Tammy Takach of Steubenville was sleeping Thursday morning when a noise in her home woke her up. She told WPXI-TV she grabbed her gun and went downstairs to find an intruder who’d entered through a window holding an air conditioning unit. He begged her not to call the police.

“He stood up and put his hands up,” Takach told WTOV-TV. “He said, ‘I’m just going to go. I’m sorry,’ and I said, ‘The only place you’re going to go is jail, and if you move, you’re gonna go to the morgue, because I’m going to blow your f-ing head off.”

Takach kept the gun aimed at him the entire time until police arrived. Upstairs, Takach’s son was still asleep, completely unaware of what was happening.

Takach’s husband, Anson, said the family owns multiple firearms but that it was the first time his wife ever had to use one in a situation like that.

“We go to the range as much as we can. We own a lot of firearms,” Anson Takach told WTOV. “I’ve had extensive training with firearms, so I teach her and my son how to be responsible and to remain calm in situations like that.”

Good job he didn't have a gun with him. The outcome could have been very different if he had.

What are you going on about? He could have had a baseball bat, a sword, a hatchet, a tire iron, etc. Would it have been a different outcome with any of the aforementioned?

The fact of the matter is..... She had a gun and emphatically TOLD the bad guy what would would happen if he tried to move. And guess what? He complied.

I find it strange that you didn't say..."good thing that woman had a gun, otherwise the outcome would have ended differently."

I'm shocked, Sam :eek:
Not by the attitude of that homeowner, she handled it perfectly :thumbsup:
I'm shocked that you could think she did the right thing to do, shocked that you're not angry at her for not having shot the burglar...
Could there be hope for you to become reasonable ?:dunno:
