Iowa congressman, family safe after home invasion

[Hot Mega]

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A home invasion at Rep. Leonard Boswell's Iowa farm ended when his 22-year-old grandson fetched a shotgun and aimed it at the intruder, according to a statement from the congressman's office. No one was seriously injured.

The incident started about 10:45 p.m. Saturday when an armed man came in through the front door, attacked Boswell's daughter, [nobabe]Cindy Brown[/nobabe], and demanded money, the statement said. Boswell, 77, heard his daughter's screams, came into the entryway and attempted to disarm the intruder.

As they struggled, Boswell's grandson, Mitchell Brown, got a shotgun from another room. When he pointed the shotgun at the intruder, the man fled into the fields around the house outside Lamoni.

Anyone want to hazard a guess how this turns out in a world where the bad guy was the only one with access to a firearm?

Ah, good old Lenny Boswell, the least influential member of Congress for the last 14 years. I'm glad no one was injured.

Fewer Iowans?

Surely, the anti-firearm argument is made even stronger by this fact.

 

[Hot Mega]

Fewer Iowans?

Yep....from this story I count at least 3 (innocent) Iowans. The congressman and his 2 grandchildren.

Thankfully they were allowed possession of a firearm even if the robber came through the door wielding a pick ax.

You make a great case against an argument claiming that the world is perfect and void of evil.:2 cents:

You keep voting for 'Bama and you can be sure he will tip the balance of the SCOTUS and you can kiss your precious pistols goodbye. But we've been through this before, 'Meg.

Oh...there you are. We thought you got sent up for an 18 year bid earlier this week.

Meh...fear not, if you keep hanging with your sources...you will soon enough. Maybe not 18 years though...

Here's the thing BS Scott...I'll keep voting for Obama and you seal a plastic bag around your head then have someone hogtie you and we'll see if I lose my pistols before you're in the gardening thread pushing up daisies.

Deal?

From my cold dead hands.

For Obama to have put those wackos Kagan and that racist rat Sotomayor on the SCOTUS is totally ludicrous. I can't support a president who appoints a racist wack job like Sotomayor...EVER. And let it be known I am no scumbag criminal and I do own (legally).

Uh...okay??:dunno:

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

You shouldn't drink and post, B.S.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Huh? I'm clean as a whistle. Besides, my State doesn't even sell on Sunday.

I never thought I would see you agreeing with 'Meg.

Whether he was agreeing with me or not...

Presumably he and I are on the side of private ownership of firearms in this thread...

What are you arguing??? I suppose that would be the reason for questioning your sobriety.

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

I'm not agreeing with anyone. Your point was lost somewhere in your non sequitir.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

I'm not agreeing with anyone. Your point was lost somewhere in your non sequitir.

My statement about Sotomayor or my non-criminal record and my legal ownership?

I don't see that I made any outlandish statement anywhere in this thread. :dunno:

^^^This makes his point as far as I can see. That is....what was the point of all that rambling and what was it's use in this thread.

I know your come back will be Sotomayor is racist, your cold dead...etc., etc., but....well, you get it don't you?
