This is one of the most bizarre stories I’ve read in quite some time.
A woman comes home and finds that somebody has broken into her home. And he’s in her bathroom. Taking a shower…which would be weird enough on it’s own. Seriously…who breaks into somebody’s house to take a shower?
But it get’s even better.
The man locks himself in the bathroom, while the woman yells at him through the locked bathroom door (along with her two German Shepards), and tells him she’s calling the police. But the guy has already beat her to it…the guy was afraid that the woman might have a gun (she didn’t), so he called police to come rescue him from her bathroom:
This time it was the intruder who called 911.
A man who broke into a house in Portland, Oregon, called police — afraid the homeowner may have a gun.
The suspect, Timothy James Chapek, was in the bathroom taking a shower when the homeowner returned to the house Monday night, Portland police said in a statement.
Accompanied by two German shepherds, the homeowner asked Chapek what he was doing in the house.
Chapek locked himself in the bathroom and made an emergency call, police said. He said he had broken into the house, the owner had come home, and that he was concerned the owner might have a gun.
The homeowner also called the police to report that he had found a man in the house.
The guy’s lucky she didn’t have a gun (though, two German Shepards can inflict a pretty serious amount of damage, too). If he’d broken into our house and locked himself into our shower, my wife probably would have emptied two-or-three boxes of shells from her Mossberg HS 410 through the bathroom door before police arrived. She does not fool around.

What an idiot. B&E for a shower? Go to a homeless shelter, dumb-ass, I’m confident they have many in Portland.
Besides the question of what was he smoking or thinking when he broke into a house and lingered, why would he even think an honest citizen in liberal Portland would have a gun?
If I were to encounter such an idiot in my home, if he didn’t call 911 before the door was kicked in, they wouldn’t be called until he had paid sufficiently for his crime.
Wow. Surprised that Portland even allows guns. I figured with all the liberals there it would be a gun free city.
Somebody attempted a break-in across the street from me during the day last week but something scared them off before they got in. That never happens around here… The house he or they attempted to break into probably has more fire power in it than the local gun shop. Fortunately for the would be thief, the owners weren’t home.
I thought it was probably a good time to get my gun out of the case and brush up on a few things too. I would have no hesitation in using it if someone tried to break in here.
*poof*
The law doesn’t state how many shots you are allowed to take. From what I remembe rin my CHL class. you shoot until the threat is eliminated. Be it 1 shot or 50. Obviously you can’t unload a magazine ( proper term ) into someone that is down, relinquish their weapon or say they give up.
The less shots you take will be better once you up against a jury.
I wouldn’t say empty a “clip” (that’s some funny shit right there), instead use something that makes a BIG hole. Accuracey over quantity. Right now I carry a S&W .357 mag. Why? Because I can! Dirty Harry special, actually bought it from Minnesota when their law enforcement went to higher capacity semi autos. You can drive nails with it. I’m thingking two shots….center mass…no more bad guy!
Of course to carry that big guy on my person would look like I have a banana in my pants, so it stays in my briefcase. My sidearm of choice is still a .45 ACP. Using a Colt right now that almost fits in the palm of your hand. Not as accurate but still a nice size hole. Also with it I can change “clips” (bwahahahah) faster than I can reload with the six shot.
GOD BLESS TEXAS!!
Clips…now that’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are.
Please tell me the guy WAS charged with breaking and entering !!
Taking a shower….what a weirdo.
I don’t know how aggresive or cautious your puppy dog Jersey is toward strangers, but aside from the Mossberg, I don’t think I’d want Jersy coming after me !

(I know regardless of age, they’re always puppies to us, in a sense.
I think he was charged with “trespassing.”
Trespassing?! He would have taken a dirt nap in Texas. Try and come in one of our homes…
