Almost one year ago, 54 year old Twain Thomas broke into his neighbor's apartment for the second time. The first time he used his foot, the second time he used a machete! He wasn't counting on his potential victim having a gun this time. Both are alive and one of them's going to prison.

Many can rip on the 2nd amendment, but in this case, it saved the lives of two residents of an apartment in Pocatello, Idaho. James Cvengros had been attacked once before by Mr. Thomas, who kicked down his door the first time. It was a logical decision by Cvengros to buy a means of defense should the scenario present itself again.

And it did.

Not only was James packing, he was recording, too. While we don't see the impact of the three bullets Twain was hit with, I can tell you he survived. He'll be spending the next 15 years in prison because of his attempted murder charge. No charges were filed on Cvengros, as he was acting in self defense.
