When you learn how to fight, you never lose that feeling. I served in the Gulf War, so I know how to take care of my family if needed.
In this case, this THUG picked the wrong home when he targeted 92-year-old Joe Milspa, a World War II veteran, and his trusty Model 1911 handgun.
Armed with an ax, the intruder first tried to “Here’s Johnny!” his way through the front door. Hearing the noise, Milspa grabbed his handgun and approached the door – that’s when police say “he suddenly saw an exterior glass window of the home shatter, followed by the suspect attempting to crawl into his home through the window.”
“Just as I got around the corner on him with his axe. He poked around, I let off a shot and he took off,” Milspa told reporters.
The burglar was not hit, but did drop his ax as well as several other items.
“I could have shot him right in the head between the eyes. But I didn’t want to do that. I would have been in trouble,” Milspa said.
The suspect is described as a man in his mid to late 20’s with a dark complexion.
Watch the veteran detail his story here:
I salute this veteran for having the ability to defend himself. My mother just turned 90 years old and I know the problems the elderly can have, but he performed admirably.
