The slogan “Don’t Mess with Texas” often refers to the state’s anti-littering program, but it should be more often applied to patriotic residents who spare no expense to defend their homes and families.
Earlier this week in Liberty Hill, a city 35 miles north of Austin, home camera footage captured the moment a thug armed with a machete tried to break into the home of Darryl Stevens but received a rude awakening once he reached the door thanks to the homeowner exercising his 2nd Amendment rights.

The suspect, later identified as 43-year-old Jerry Escamilla of Bertram, climbed a fence and started approaching the home alongside a dog before seemingly passing out. At this moment, Stevens notices the suspect and immediately springs into action.
As he explained in an interview with FOX 7 Austin, he locked up his home, grabbed his 9mm firearm, and raced to the perp.
Once Escamilla rose back up and made his way to the upper deck of Stevens’ home, he found himself staring down the barrel of the man’s gun. He quickly decided to drop the machete, climb down, and walk away before getting his head blown off.
“Told him he’s got to leave, or he’s going to lose his life, you know?” Stevens told FOX 7 Austin. “Luckily, after I did that, he dropped the machete.”

“I just had to protect my family, and that’s what I did. Luckily, I didn’t have to discharge my firearm,” Stevens said. “It’s just not something you expect to happen in Liberty Hill in the country or way out in the country in the very back of this new, nice neighborhood… we moved out here, we moved further out of the city to feel safe.”
Stevens went on to tell the outlet that he is planning on turning his home into “Fort Knox” following the harrowing experience.
