Criminals aren't very intelligent. A lot of them act on compulsion. They get an idea in their head that consumes them and won't go away. They hope acting on the thought will cause it to end.
I'd be willing to bet most of them don't even know the state is training people when it is OK to shoot through a door in the classes required to get a permit. Well, not sure about Texas but they do here |

Dude shot 13 times and hit no one, luckily no one was in the apartment directly across from him. Having said that, maybe penetrating the steel door took most of the velocity out of those rounds and maybe the Hardi Plank or Wood frame of the opposing apartment was able to stop those rounds.
The armed robbers also shot twice, missing the victim. All in all, scary stuff, the apartment was chosen at random, according to the victim. I'm assuming that the first robber posing as maintenance didn't know the people in the apartment, knowing they wouldn't recognize him. |

Missed 13 times? Geeze. Probably a good idea to peek out the window to localize the target before firing.
Article I got when clicking your link didn't have anything to do with the title of the article. Didn't care to find out how many "continue reading" clicks were needed to get to the part about the attempted home invasion (if ever) so I X'd out of the website. So thanks for the synopsis. |

I can attest that wasn't the case years ago, one of my first apartments the maintenance techs would replace filters and even smoke alarm batteries on a regular basis, nowadays ? Who knows ?

3 miles down a country dirt road that is monitored and everyone knows each other with a 1/2 mile driveway beyond a locked gate. If you are on my property you get shot first.
