Four things from the article: (1) The two men knew each other. (2) The guy was brandishing (waving) a gun, not in stealth mode. (3) The two got close enough for the gun to be wrestled away. (4) This all took place on the patio, not IN the house.
The guy probably showed up demanding the money he was owed. The homeowner's dog barked like crazy, alerting him to a person or persons walking up the driveway. He saw the gun on the guys side and went to meet him outdoors, away from the wife and kids. They knew each other so homeowner tried to calm the guy down, lying that he would pay him his money. Guy says NO more discussion, give me my money right now....or else. They argued, homeowner was close enough to wrestle the gun away from guy. And there you have it. The writer of the article was probably being facetious when calling the guy an "uninvited house visitor". People who know each other and show up at their home unannounced are usually labeled "rude" or "imposing"....not labeled home invaders or intruders. |
