#1 The incident ended when Boswell's grandson grabbed a gun from another room and pointed it at the intruder
Aren't you glad your party's gun-control efforts have been stymied, Congressman?

#2 So the honorable congressman is a Democrat (and I presume support their gun-control agenda) and has a gun at his 'rural farm home'.

Is this a case of "Gun rights for me... but not for thee..."?

#3 Congressman, take this up with you gun-grabbin colleagues such as Diane Feinstein, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Dick Durbin, Frank Lautenberg, Carolyn McCarthy, Barack Obama, Michael Bloomberg, etc. They would have your guns too if they had their way.

#4 His grandson is 22 years old and just pointed a shotgun at the armed intruder without firing it. Boy needs to learn about the follow-through. Unless he doesn't care for his grandfather much.

#5 the congressman served two terms(?) in Vietnam. So why would he belong to a party that so gleefully wants to disarm us?

#6 The grandson was probably worried he might blow away his grandfather along with the perp with the scatter gun.

#7 I don't see anything in the quick voting record about his gun views. Mostly he is a farm subsidy guy and a blue dog.

Either way, I'm surprised that he took matters into his own hands. Good on him either way.

I think I'll root for the grandson, J&T.
