Burglar shot outside the home dies
Lake Charles Police believe the victim sustained those wounds nearly 12 hours earlier while he and two others tried to steal a four wheeler a block away on Mill Street. "LeDay was involved in a burglary, an attempted theft. The homeowner took action shot two rounds and they fled," said Sgt. Mark Kraus. Both the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office and Lake Charles Police got calls about gunshots in the area. The homeowner on Mill Street filed a report about the attempted burglary with the Sheriff's Office, telling them he fired two shots in the air. The initial report from the Calcasieu Coroner's Office confirms LeDay died from injuries consistent from a shotgun. "We now know LeDay was struck by the shotgun blast and died a short time later about 200 feet from where that attempted burglary took place," explained Kraus. Kraus says LeDay was no stranger to local law enforcement: His first run was at 16 years old - police say he was the teen who brought the gun and fired shots at the "Just For Jesus" rally at the Lake Charles Civic Center back in May 2007. Kraus says this latest case should send a strong message to the chance would be burglars take. "We in America and specifically Lake Charles, Louisiana have the right to protect our homes, property and family. And in using a shotgun or weapon to do so is authorized in many cases by law," said Kraus.

Can't believe Al & Jessie didn't show up for that one. Good to see it turned out ok for the property owner.

While I was out shopping a few days ago, a big man [~ 6'-4 and 300#] was in the checkout line with one person inbetween us.
It was not until he started walking away, that I noticed he was "open carring" a big sidearm. Who would mess with a guy like that???????????

 You just never know......With me traveling on interstate as much as I do at night or early am & stopping to get fuel, I've had these freaking crackheads walk up to my truck before I ever get out. The don't have a clue as to who I am or how big or what I got the hammer back on with the safety off. They don't care. Last edited by wtretrievers; 02-19-2010 at 02:02 AM.

do you have alarm system, keep a cell phone on your nightstand, motion sensor floodlights, dog that barks, good buckshot for your 12 ga? sit down with the family and discuss awareness of surroundings. (this is NOT being paranoid) in this economy this is going to get worse not better. Keep in mind most burglars are going to use a "smash and grab" type operation. they are going to dresser drawers, nightstands, closets first. This is why I hide my valuable (to me) stuff in other areas. I've hidden nice pistols in a cereal box in the pantry.

Inlaws live on Kellison Lane, hope they do not hear about this because I will not be able to get them out of my house.
Damn, just remembered that I did not lock my back french doors this morning. "pistols in a cereal box in the pantry." Guess that would make them "Honey Bunches of Lead"

There is a cheap motion detector system at Harbor Freight in Lake Charles.
It has a motion detector outdoors and an alarm inside. Battery operated, wireless. I think it is around $30. I have them so we know when anyone comes close to any of our doors or under the car port. We get a beep beep. We also have a complete home alarm system, but it didn't cover the outside motion. My wife is a lot more comfortable knowing she will hear the alarm before someone can come into the house. She can be ready for them.
