An couple who held a burglar at gunpoint Sunday morning until police arrived credits the Second Amendment for keeping them safe. Police reported the couple, a 61-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman, woke to find 38-year-old DeJuan McCraney in their home. McCraney, who was convicted in 2001 of attempted aggravated murder and released from prison in 2010, faces charges of aggravated burglary and having weapons illegally. “This is why gun control is a bad idea,” she wrote. “We held him at bay until police arrived about 10 after 7. Did anyone die? No. Could anyone have died? Most certainly. Our guns saved our lives today. Responsible gun ownership should never be revoked. If it was, our situation today could have cost both of us our lives.”
