‘Peeping Tom’ Outside Daughter’s Window Results in Father Executing His 2nd Amendment Right

A Texas man who confronted a peeping Tom outside his daughter’s bedroom window this week told police he fired his gun after the voyeur lunged at him with a knife.

This from westernjournal.com.

The incident took place around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday at an apartment complex in northwestern San Antonio.

According to KENS-TV, the daughter spotted the unknown man through her window and ran to tell her father.

The father stepped outside to confront the stranger, who produced a knife and lunged at him.

The dad told police he pulled out his handgun and fired several times, according to the report.

San Antonio police told KENS that they did not find anyone with gunshot wounds.

An aerial search by the police department’s Blue Eagle helicopter unit did not locate anyone.

San Antonio police told the local news outlet that the father is not expected to be charged.

WOAI reported that police were still investigating the incident.

The assailant was described as a bearded man in his 30s.

Social media users reacted to the news with varying opinions. Twitter user gypsyroseleef wrote, “Good for the father. When you don’t have police protection what is one to do?”

Others on Twitter suggested the father might benefit from additional training with his firearm.

Michael Daly expressed concern on Twitter that the father would be prosecuted by a district attorney. “The DA will prosecute him instead,” he wrote.

Final thoughts: “Several” shots fired but no blood, no knife, and no peeping Tom.

So, what do we have here? Poor gun control, wasted ammunition, a terrible story, an apparition, and/or vivid imaginations from daughter and father?

Qualification and Remedial Firearms Training should be the first order of business.

San Antonio police may even have an addition for their Gunowners: How Not to Respond video.
