It was totally dark. My wife was the only one who had Christmas lights on in the whole street. I\u2019m watching TV, she\u2019s making the bed. And all of a sudden there\u2019s this huge pounding on our door,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WWE legend &#039;Hacksaw&#039; Jim Duggan pins home invader\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l0qpAi4mnzU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intruder tripped and fell into their home, but Duggan quickly grabbed him and threw him out onto the porch, thinking it might be a home invasion attempt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the man begged for help, claiming that people were trying to kill him. Duggan&#8217;s wife called 911, and he held the man at gunpoint on the front porch until the Kershaw County Sheriff&#8217;s Department arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/armed-alabama-man-defends-home-from-pistol-firing-intruder\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"wwe-hall-of-famer-takes-down-home-intruder-holds-him-with-44-mag\" title=\"WWE Hall of Famer 'Takes Down' Home Intruder, Holds Him With .44 Mag\"> Armed Alabama Man Defends Home from Pistol-Firing Intruder<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the scary situation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/pro-wrestling-legend-jim-duggan-recalls-taking-down-home-intruder-terrifying\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"wwe-hall-of-famer-takes-down-home-intruder-holds-him-with-44-mag\" title=\"WWE Hall of Famer 'Takes Down' Home Intruder, Holds Him With .44 Mag\"><em>FoxNews<\/em><\/a> reported that everything ended peacefully thanks to Duggan&#8217;s quick thinking and the presence of a gun in the home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duggan admitted that if it had been later at night, things could have ended differently for the man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If it was later at night because it was totally dark I woulda been coming out of the bedroom instead of the living room, I woulda had a loaded gun with me. But this way, I came into the foyer, he was already in the house, I grabbed him and threw him out. And by the time I grabbed the Magnum, things slowed down enough and I realized he wasn\u2019t a threat,&#8221; he explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Thank goodness I didn\u2019t shoot him or anything because it woulda been a horrible thing to live with but the guy did break into our house,&#8221; Duggan added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Duggan said he had no idea who the intruder was or what he had brought into their home, but he and his wife were grateful to have had a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you to the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KershawCountySC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"wwe-hall-of-famer-takes-down-home-intruder-holds-him-with-44-mag\" title=\"WWE Hall of Famer 'Takes Down' Home Intruder, Holds Him With .44 Mag\">@KershawCountySC<\/a> Sheriff&#039;s Office and thank you to my fans and friends for the well wishes!<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DtR7TcnI9V\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"wwe-hall-of-famer-takes-down-home-intruder-holds-him-with-44-mag\" title=\"WWE Hall of Famer 'Takes Down' Home Intruder, Holds Him With .44 Mag\">https:\/\/t.co\/DtR7TcnI9V<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Jek2eVLjzx\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"wwe-hall-of-famer-takes-down-home-intruder-holds-him-with-44-mag\" title=\"WWE Hall of Famer 'Takes Down' Home Intruder, Holds Him With .44 Mag\">pic.twitter.com\/Jek2eVLjzx<\/a><\/p>&mdash; &quot;Hacksaw&quot; Jim Duggan (@RealHacksawJim) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RealHacksawJim\/status\/1604215377151549440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"wwe-hall-of-famer-takes-down-home-intruder-holds-him-with-44-mag\" title=\"WWE Hall of Famer 'Takes Down' Home Intruder, Holds Him With .44 Mag\">December 17, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n<p>He also expressed appreciation via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RealHacksawJim\/status\/1604215377151549440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1604215377151549440%7Ctwgr%5Ec8293e1d8ee12df1e263991016fca3d3a663fc4a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fabcnews4.com%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Fhacksaw-jim-duggan-holds-home-intruder-at-gunpoint-at-his-south-carolina-home-wciv-kershaw-county\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"wwe-hall-of-famer-takes-down-home-intruder-holds-him-with-44-mag\" title=\"WWE Hall of Famer 'Takes Down' Home Intruder, Holds Him With .44 Mag\">Twitter<\/a> for the quick response of authorities that prevented him from needing to use the gun.
