Citizen protects himself, his home and makes arrest of repeat offender possible.

Easler at home where he found repeat offender inside his house and used his concealed carry hand gun to defend himself and protect his home and property.

Shooter Reviews honers this citizen for using his right to concealed carry, to protect himself and his property as well as his community.  Mr. Easler come home to find an intruder in his home.  He didn’t know the intruder had criminal record that included theft, robbery and violence, but he didn’t have to take any chances.  Easler is a conceal handgun license holder and he was carrying his weapon when we found the intruder.

Thanks to Easlers firearms training, practice and preparation, the situation was handled without firing a single round and the intruder was arrested by local police.

“This ain’t the first time he’s come inside somebody’s house,” Easler said. “If they don’t send this guy to jail, the next guy may not be as tough as I am, and he could hurt somebody.”

Easler said he’s glad he wasn’t forced to shoot Nickerson, but he hopes his actions will lead to a conviction that will keep Nickerson off the streets. It is the 11th arrest for Nickerson in the past two and a half years, with charges ranging from criminal domestic violence to trespassing to drug possession, according to online jail records. Nickerson also was charged with second-degree burglary — in addition to driving under suspension and reckless driving — in November.

Sheriff Chuck Wright says “I think he did a good job. … That’s the reason why good, honest citizens have a right to bear arms.”
