According to WVUE, the convict was wearing a ski mask and was armed with a shovel and a lug wrench.<\/p>\n<p>The woman added that Rheams confronted her and threatened to harm her with his weapons. But the woman had other ideas. She pulled out her firearm to defend her family and gave Rheams a reason to suspect he had broken into the wrong house.<\/p>\n<p>The criminal was pronounced dead at the scene by the parish coroner.<\/p>\n<p>Officers also said that the home invasion seemed to be a random act and that the attacker and the homeowner had had no prior contact.<\/p>\n<p>After investigating the incident, the police discovered that Rheams was in the midst of a crime spree that was abruptly ended by the woman protecting the lives and safety of her children.<\/p>\n<p>Officers traced Rheams\u2019 activity back to an earlier carjacking only blocks from the woman\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<p>According to the owner of the car, Rheams carjacked the driver at a local motel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the drive, he started striking the driver with his fist and the driver ran into a ditch, causing the car to become stuck,\u201d said Tangipahoa Chief Deputy Jimmy Travis. \u201cThe driver was able to exit the car and flee to safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rheams is also the suspect in a robbery several hours before all this that occurred at a deli on Saturday night, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>Travis added that the woman would not be charged for killing Rheams because she was merely exercising her Second Amendment rights to protect herself and her children from a violent home invader.<\/p>\n<p>Violent he was, too. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbrz.com\/news\/mother-shot-intruder-dead-after-he-forced-his-way-into-hammond-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WBRZ-TV<\/a>, Rheams was out on parole after serving a 20-year sentence for armed robbery.<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\">\n<\/div>\n<h3>A Story That Liberals Hate<\/h3>\n<p>This is the sort of story that liberals truly hate. A woman protected herself and her children using a gun. Liberals would rather have seen the mother attacked, her property damaged and stolen and maybe even raped, just to make sure she had no right to own a firearm.<\/p>\n<p>Just days ago, another brave mama bear also protected her family in Arkansas when a pair of attackers set upon her husband in a Little Rock parking garage. That mom pulled out her firearm and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/attack-family-arkansas-parking-garage-stopped-cold-pregnant-woman-opens-fire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shot one of the attackers<\/a> when they began beating her and her husband.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salon.com\/2019\/09\/07\/the-gun-lobbys-most-pernicious-myth-there-is-no-good-guy-with-a-gun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">left\u2019s claim<\/a> that there is no such thing as a \u201cgood guy with a gun,\u201d these stories of people using a firearm to save their lives or the lives of loved ones occur nearly every week.<\/p>\n<p>The Western Journal has reported on stories like these dozens of times over the years.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in 2018, a good guy with a gun saw a police officer in trouble and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/good-guy-with-a-gun-steps-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quickly responded<\/a> to help ensure an officer in Utah would go home alive to his family.<\/p>\n<p>The next year, a man in Florida <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/good-guy-gun-saves-mom-2-alleged-armed-home-invaders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">used his firearm<\/a> to protect himself against a pair of home invaders.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022 a man legally carrying a firearm was able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/good-guy-gun-legal-carrier-stops-mall-shooter-almost-soon-began\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stop another man<\/a> intent on mass murder at a mall in Indiana. Were it not for the bystander, the killer might have killed even more people than he did.<\/p>\n<p>And just months ago, a man with a legally concealed firearm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/man-attacks-applebees-staff-knife-gun-wielding-customer-draws-weapon-police\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stopped an attacker<\/a> who was assaulting the staff of an Applebee\u2019s restaurant on New Hartford, New York.<\/p>\n<p>This is but a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/violent-career-criminal-breaks-into-his-last-home-runs-into-armed-mama-bear-who-doesnt-hesitate-to-protect-her-children\/\" title=\"Career criminal meets armed mother protecting her children in their home.\">tiny cross section<\/a> of \u201cgood guys with a gun\u201d stories. In 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/guns-prevent-thousands-of-crimes-every-day-research-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fee.org<\/a> writer Lawrence W. Reed noted that \u201cGuns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year, or 6,849 every day.\u201d And the NRA added that numbers from Dr. John Lott\u2019s Crime Prevention Research Center show that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/articles\/20221017\/cprc-fbi-wrong-armed-citizens-stopped-at-least-34-of-active-shooter-attacks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">34 percent<\/a> of \u201cactive shooter\u201d attacks are stopped or limited by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/attack-on-family-in-arkansas-parking-garage-stopped-cold-as-pregnant-woman-opens-fire\/\" title=\"Pregnant woman stops attack on family in Arkansas parking garage with gunfire.\">legal gun owners responding<\/a> to a shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for the brave mother in Louisiana, the left has not yet succeeded in taking away America\u2019s Second Amendment rights. The \u201cgood guy with a gun\u201d is not a myth, and we see the truth of this over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/violent-career-criminal-breaks-last-home-runs-armed-mama-bear-doesnt-hesitate-protect-children\/\">Violent Career Criminal Breaks Into His Last Home, Runs Into Armed Mama Bear Who Doesn&#8217;t Hesitate to Protect Her Children<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Louisiana mother&#8217;s recent act of protecting her children exemplifies the kind of &#8220;good guy with a gun&#8221; story despised by liberals.
