We push back and forth for a little while and then we started fighting,\u201d Caleb said. <\/p>\n<p>While her husband engaged the intruder, Samantha called 911.  But would police arrive in time to help her husband?  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I remember we had our shotgun sitting against the wall, so I picked it up and grabbed it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_28959\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/6171307_G-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"couple-proves-police-minutes-away-helps-shotgun\" title=\"Couple Proves that When Police Are Minutes Away, It Helps to Have a Shotgun\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28959\" title=\"Couple Proves that When Police Are Minutes Away, It Helps to Have a Shotgun\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/6171307_G-1-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Jones, 36, now faces first degree burglary charges.

That&#8217;s when Samantha handed him the firearm.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Standing there with the gun, I said, &#8216;If you move, I&#8217;m going to think you&#8217;re going to attack me again and I will shoot you. I have the safety off,'&#8221; Caleb said. &#8220;I showed him the rack in the slide and I told him, &#8216;That is how it&#8217;s going to be and we&#8217;re going to wait.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nine minutes later the police arrived.  Authorities arrested the suspect who has been identified as 36-year-old Michael Jones.  Police charged him with first degree burglary.  He is being held on a $60,000 bond.  <\/p>\n<p>Both Caleb and Samantha had some surprisingly kind words for Jones.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry that whatever in your life brought you to this point where you should hurt or rob people,&#8221; Caleb said. &#8220;Hope you find it in your heart to stop hurting other people to get your own way in life and best of luck when you get out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would tell him I&#8217;ll pray for him. If he came in here because he&#8217;s hungry or cold or whatever, I hope it gets better,&#8221; added Samantha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Birmingham couple proved the adage that when police are minutes away a firearm in the hands of a law-abiding citizen can save one&#8217;s life.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":28959,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,262,216],"tags":[132,291],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-28958","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-defensive-use-of-firearms","9":"category-s-h-blannelberry","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-dgu"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Couple Proves that When Police Are Minutes Away, It Helps to Have a Shotgun<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A Birmingham couple proved the adage that when police are minutes away a firearm in the hands of a law-abiding citizen can save one&#039;s life.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/couple-proves-police-minutes-away-helps-shotgun\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Couple Proves that When Police Are Minutes Away, It Helps to Have a Shotgun\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A Birmingham couple proved the adage that when police are minutes away a firearm in the hands of a law-abiding citizen can save one&#039;s life.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/couple-proves-police-minutes-away-helps-shotgun\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-12-17T15:54:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T07:31:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/6171307_G-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
