A true story of bravery. And stupidity. By now you may know you lost protection of The Castle Doctrine as soon as you left your property. Pumped people who think they can bench-press a house, running down the street playing Barney Fife are prolly more dangerous to the rest of us than are the punks rifling through glove boxes and consoles.

On the other hand, most of the neighborhood would have probably brought a casserole by the house had these dangerous little white boys been drugged, armed thugs intent on robbing you of everything in your house.

If I knew who this was, I would bring him a casserole today. Glad he was willing to be instrumental in these arrests. Had the homeowner not been armed, that punk thief wouldn't have stuck around to be arrested.

Good for this guy. If only everyone was so vigilant.

"Lock your cars and close your garages. I am the last to say this but damnit this is the time we live in."

BUT BUT BUT BUT MADISON IS SAFE!!!!!

I know him well. He is a doctor in Madison and a competition shooter on the weekends. I took my enhanced concealed carry class with him and I can guarantee you that he is well aware of the laws and isn't some redneck just looking for a fight. I would have done the same thing except that I live in Jackson so I would have automatically been carrying when I walked out to investigate...

If you read the story you'd know he was NOT armed when he bumbled out into the garage and gave chase. That was plumb damned stupid.

All that aside, if you read his post carefully, you'll see he 'confronted' the man inside his garage without a gun. He went outside in the yard without a gun. He gave chase without a gun.

So, to recap: He's a doctor (big deal), he's not a redneck, is a competition shooter and took an enhanced carry class. How valuable is all that, running down the street hollering, with NO GUN?

Here's your sign, Doc!

Considering that the physician's behavior resulted in the arrest (and, more importantly, the IDENTIFICATION of) a group of thieves, I would conclude that his behavior was EXTREMELY valuable.

There seems to be a group of losers who have recently been attracted to this site. They do little more than harass and criticize those who are better than them. Pretty-much, EVERYBODY is better than them. The doc is affluent, athletic, highly motivated, and EFFECTIVE in his actions. The posters mocking him are, I'm suspecting, just needless additions to Humanity's Carbon Footprint - nothing more than WASTES OF BREATH.

He may be a doctor, but he sure can't write worth a damn.

wow... Some of yall have no idea why you are talking about. There was no need to chase them with a gun. I made the decision that he was unarmed when he was 4 ft from me in my garage. I also made the decision not to tackle him when I could have. I yelled the entire time I was running and my neighbors were boiling out of their houses calling 911 for me.

I never had to show a weapon but did make the first one arrested aware I had one. I will keep the details to myself as it is in the system currently but they are entertaining to say the least.

These folks are by no means children and hive a long list of prior arrests.

"The doc is affluent, athletic, highly motivated, and EFFECTIVE in his actions."

Then you might consider editing your original post which claims you were NOT armed when you gave chase, hollering, down the street, thinking you could bench press a house. While you were prissing around with your highly motivated, motivated self, an armed culprit would have shot your fancy-ass dead!

The Natchez Trace Cemetery is full of affluent, athletic, motivated and effective people.

Quit with this 'hero' bullshit. Tell it to the girls in the office.

" What I saw was a 6ish foot tall white boy hanging out my wifes car 4 feet from the doorway I was standing in. NOW I HAVE NOT GRABBED MY GUN AT THIS POINT (emphasis added) but notice the fear in him when I confronted him verbally. Cwink will probably scald me for this but I chased him on foot and almost tackled him when I saw he had a lookout with him. That made me think better of it. I dropped back to 20 or 25 yards behind them and chased them for 1/4 mile or so. They then started jumping fences. I also had left the house with no cell phone and had not called 911.

Proud of you Doc........you get five gold stars!

If these CREATURES had long records, WHY WAS THE BAIL SO LOW?

A high enough bail would have ensured that they stayed in jail long enough to be gang-raped really well. A good-enough gang-raping would have ensured they'd either die from the gastrointestinal perforation, or wear colostomy bags for the rest of their wretched lives.

Dear little baby Jesus.
The man's actions resulted in the arrest of 4 hood rat P.O.S. losers. He made decisions in the heat of the moment. Even stated in the post that he knew he probably shouldn't have ("...will probably scald me for this but....).
And cutting on his grammar while posting to a duck hunting site (probably on a phone)? Come on, cut the man some slack.

Doctors are notorious for poor writing, this one has guts like many men do in Madison. Funny when people generically think men in Madison are less than we are. Frequently we have a touch of prosperity and many of us came from rough towns in the delta and are not afraid of much. Did not sound like he cared if he had a gun, the gun does not make the man.

Last thing, these pissy little people who are critical of people they are jealous of should know they are transparent in their reasoning.

Someone said, and the record reflects, these are young white boys/men. What kind of lengthy arrest records do they have (as has been claimed). Not saying its not possible, just asking for clarification. And if they're 'career criminals' would they really be opening unlocked car doors looking for loose change and pocketbooks?

Doc,

Don't know who you are and it really doesn't matter.

Kudos to you. Do not respond anymore to blatherings of the bored. Some people post anonymously on here (and in just about any forum) to be "antI" anything.

I am not a doctor, I am a redneck and I have not attended an enhanced carry class. I do have an incalculable amount of training relative to individual situational awareness. Even though we attempt to articulate the situation (post-action) the best we can, you can not wax poetic everything that triggers each individual action or decision you make when encountering such a situation. Some people go into auto-mode and can't recall all of the little things that influenced a series of decisions. Others can slow it all down and replay it like a movie.

Regardless, many people are capable of making a relatively informed series of decisions in the heat of the moment that keeps them in front of the situation. Some people refer to it as a gut feel.

To the poster that said someone could have had a gun..... if you do not have that mindset in every situation you encounter, then you have a high chance of being on the wrong end of the action. People's behavior and how the situation progresses.... just situational awareness allows some to do what the doc did and feel like it was the correct action to take.

Lastly, if you don't agree or don't understand.... how about asking legitimate questions in order to further knowledge and awareness instead of attacking action just for the sake of attacking it. Your notions that your handgun is what determines your course of action is going to get you killed. Your weapon is a tool to be employed at the necessary time, it is also a tool, in most situations needed, that is required to come out on the right end of the encounter. The situation and your awareness is what determines your course of action, and that sometimes does conclude with firing your weapon at another human being.

Doc, thanks for having the balls to stand up and do what is right. I wish there were more men like you out there.
