The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2808]
Back in the 80's I had a casual friend, Doug, who was a gunsmith. Doug's wife, Chris, worked in a furniture store. Doug and Chris had been at another friend's house for dinner. They arrived back home fairly late. They were just going into their house when a co-worker of Chris showed up at the door. The co-worker, Wayne, was a pretty big guy who worked as a furniture delivery man. Wayne said he was driving in the neighborhood when his car broke down. He asked if he could use their phone. They showed him where the phone was and continued bringing stuff in from their car.
Doug brought in a rifle, ammunition and some other stuff he had in his car and took them to the basement. Chris took some stuff upstairs to put it away. When Doug came up from the basement, Wayne hit him over the head, knocking him out. Wayne dragged Doug back to the basement. Wayne then went upstairs, beat up Chris and tied her to the bed. He then ran back to the basement where Doug was starting to wake up. He stabbed Doug several times, then ran back up to tie Chris up since she had started to get loose.
Doug revived enough to grab the rifle he had just brought in, loaded.it and headed back up to stop Wayne. They met on the stairs. Doug emptied the rifle into Wayne, and seeing that he was still alive, broke the rifle stock over Wayne's head. He then went up, released Chris and called the police.
The police found that Wayne was a serial murderer and was responsible for several unsolved murders. The incident is documented in the book To Kill and Kill Again.
