We’ll never know why Buck Clary decided to try to break into a home in Hopkins County, Texas. On a random Tuesday night, he rolled up to the home, came to the door and began yelling like an angry lunatic. The doorbell cam reportedly showed the agitated Mr. Clary begin to pound on the glass on the door when yelling failed to prompt the homeowner to open up.
Acting like a stray cat that won’t take no for an answer, Clary broke one of the glass panels and reached inside. The homeowner, observing a violent attempted forced entry didn’t waste time with harsh language. Instead, he let his Roscoe do his talking and fired through the glass panels that remained. It wasn’t as though he was shooting blindly through the door as some of the media reports would hint.
Our homeowner scored a bullseye on the bad guy. Clary promptly collapsed, taking his home-invading arm with him. EMS showed up and took him to the local hospital where a Justice of the Peace pronounced him dead right there.
Thankfully, in most states, homeowners don’t have to wait until they are beaten, stabbed, raped or shot before they respond ballistically. Clary’s blind anger ultimately ended with him leaking body fluids on someone else’s porch while a Ring camera preserved his final greatest hits highlights for the sheriff’s department.
Meanwhile, the un-named homeowner is probably an emotional basket case, worried about potential charges, a civil suit, or retaliation from Mr. Clary’s family. The homeowner probably wonders what sparked the attacker’s blind rage or what he could have done differently.
If there’s a lesson to be learned for anyone like Clary out there, it’s that if you play stupid games in the parts of the nation that cherish and exercise their 2A rights, you may win a toe tag.

She went to the door, thinking it was her husband, and she went armed. Hmmmm.
Might be some counseling has to happen in that home. Thankfully.
orrrr… she was armed simply because she carries at home also when she is alone. We know women who do that, carry at home when they are alone.

That’s the way is should happen. If your local laws allow, and you have the wherewithal, always kill the home invader. The people in the home they try to invade next might not be able to defend themselves. For Dune fans, remember the test for being human: “An animal caught in a trap will chew its leg off to escape, with no thought of others. A human will stay in the trap, waiting for the trapper, to remove a threat to his kind.” Remove the threat to the law abiding: kill the criminal attacking you.
I would guess alcohol or drugs were affecting Bucko’s behavior
If you intend to defend yourself with a deadly weapon, it is prudent to have on speed dial: lawyer, commercial cleaning company, real estate agent, moving company.
Law suits, detectives, LEO can probably find you, wherever you live; but, criminal associates of the DP (Dead Perp) are unlikely to have the resources.
Side Note: If a person has any thought that they might end up an emotional basket case after a defensive action, should that person be armed at all?
