A homeowner in Las Vegas, Nev., arrived home around 4:15 p.m. and found his house being burglarized. As the homeowner went inside, he was confronted by career burglar Mark Clinton Vains, who pulled out a gun and pointed it at the homeowner. The homeowner, a Right-To-Carry permit holder, drew his gun and fired at Vains, killing him.
Police later discovered that Vains, who had a history of burglary dating back to 1992, had used a pellet gun during the incident. Las Vegas police did not charge the homeowner in the case and Homicide Lt. Lew Roberts said, “You either shoot him, or he shoots you.” Local gun shop owner and frequent expert firearm witness, Bob Irwin also agreed with the homeowner’s actions in the case and stated, “Bringing a fake gun to a gunfight is not a healthy thing to do."
