http://www.kxxv.com/story/31783010/police-homeowner-hits-burglar-in-face-with-6-foot-construction-level


Gary says that’s when his natural instinct of self-defense kicked in.

And he grabbed a tool that’s never lead him wrong, his 6 foot construction level.

Just one hit to the mouth kept this burglar from causing any more harm until police arrived.

Keeping people on the straight and narrow, one whack at a time.

A 6" Colt would have been a better tool.

Did he square up before swinging?

Good for the homeowner, but get a gun.  Learn how to use it and carry it..especially when a situation like this happens.  What if it had been multiple scum with guns?

Well, that's just plumb cool!

Bad guy was plumb out of luck.

ETA. Beat by 3 seconds

That's when you grab the nail gun.

Now he has to make sure it is still straight and the bubbles aren't tweaked. Bummer

Always lock the door from the garage into the house!!

Hopefully he sues the crim for the damage to the level, finding a good 6ft level is a challenge these days!

Don't leave tools out where they can be used to pry open that door...or be used as a weapon against you.

Brought force with a balance, did he.

That's cool and all, I just prefer a stand-off weapon.  Like a .357

Hope the level is ok and still accurate.  I do not want him hanging picture frames crooked for his wife now.

Hopefully, the full weight of law will be leveled against him.

Real construction guy would have had a Stabila.

When you are attacked, you have to survey the situation, then act accordingly.

Probably won't want to use it anymore. Depending on how hard he hit him and what it landed on.
