US Gun Related News
A Florida homeowner who called 911 during a violent home invasion Wednesday morning was transferred to voicemail at the height of the incident when the dispatcher tried to pass the call from the fire department line to police, MyFoxTampaBay.com reported. Women could be heard screaming during the wait as the recording advised, "If this is an emergency, hang up and dial 911." He [the homeowner] told the operator there were four of them who beat his wife and stepmother. He shot one. One suspect was found shot in the back hiding under a car, the report said.

I would bot have to worry about calling 911 back as I am sure the neighbors would be calling the police to investigate the shots around my house. I am probably the last place someone wants to make a home invasion as I have weapons all over my house that will create a lot of trouble for whom ever invades my house. The fact that most weapons are out of plain sight but easily accessible makes me a very dangerous man. I feel for this guy who could have lost his family due to a misstep in a simple call transfer.
That's ridiculous and its too bad he didn't know the local police number, but why should he, 911 is there for a reason!
