As Minuteman Project Launches, Local Uses Handgun to
Defend Himself Against Border Intruder

Just as the controversial Minuteman Project was
getting under way in Tombstone Friday night, a Cochise
County resident was forced to use a handgun to defend
himself from a menacing border intruder. The citizen,
who wishes his name not be used, was visiting his
girlfriend's home in one of the lower canyon areas on
the east side of the Huachuca Mountains along Highway
92 when an angry border intruder charged him.

The home's yard and driveway have been the scene of
many reports of illegal aliens being picked up by load
vehicles. Recently, in the evenings, two or three load
vehicles would pull into the driveway and yard, a
driver would step out and wave a flag, and dozens of
illegal aliens would come pouring out of the bushes
across the street, into the driveway and yard, and
then into the load vehicles. The woman who lives there
has felt very threatened and has been forced to arm
herself. Last week, on a single night, Border Patrol
apprehended 50 illegal aliens right in her yard and
driveway.

Friday night the man was walking in the street in
front of his girlfriend's home. A large jackrabbit was
frightened by something in the brush across from the
home and came out into the road toward the citizen. He
knew that he had not frightened the jackrabbit and
determined that there may be someone in the brush
where so many illegal aliens had been seen before. He
started peering into the brush and suddenly an illegal
alien came out from behind one of the trees. The
border intruder was very large and menacing and looked
right at the citizen in the street. He started to
charge toward the citizen who was then forced to pull
out his 9mm handgun and chamber a round. The citizen
then held the weapon up where the intruder could see
it but did not point it at the intruder. At that point
the border intruder ceased his menacing charge and
stopped and glared angrily at the citizen. The
standoff only lasted a few seconds at which time the
intruder flipped the citizen off and ran back into the
bushes.

The resident immediately called the Border Patrol to
report the incident and the intruder. An agent was
dispatched and on the scene after more than 20
minutes. The agent said that he did not know the area
and had not been briefed about the ongoing problems
with the large groups of illegal aliens piling into
load vehicles there. The agent and the Cochise County
resident walked through the brush searching for the
border intruder but he was not located.

The man later said that he was certain that if he had
not drawn his weapon he would have been violently
attacked by the border intruder. Both the man and the
home owner are now planning to take the required
training to receive an Arizona Concealed Carry Weapon
Permit to further protect themselves. Neither are
members of or are involved with the Minuteman Project
in any way. Both work for defense contractors in the
IT industry.

An area next to the canyon home has now become the
site of one of many observation stations set up by the
Minuteman Project. The owner of the home says that she
feels safer now knowing that she's got other concerned
citizens looking out for her and that some of them are
armed in case she or anyone there is again threatened
with violence.
