Armed Florida Homeowner Shoots Hatchet-Wielding Burglar
About this video
Colion analyzes a reported home defense incident in which a homeowner shot and killed an intruder armed with a hatchet. He argues that edged weapons like hatchets and knives are just as deadly as firearms at close range, citing what he describes as the “21-foot rule” he learned early in his firearms training. Colion asserts that firearms empower individuals to defend themselves effectively and criticizes gun control policies he views as prioritizing government control over personal safety.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches that a person with a knife or hatchet within 21 feet can close distance before a defender can draw, making edged weapons extremely dangerous
- According to Colion, firearms equalize force disparities and allow defenders to maintain distance, avoiding the injury risk inherent in knife fighting
- Colion warns that even justified defenders may face civil lawsuits or prosecution, and recommends self-defense legal coverage (noting his USCCA sponsorship)
