Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- On a remote property on Perdiz Canyon Road, off of Highway 165, in New Mexico, a 59-year-old homeowner says that he woke up to find an intruder in his home. The house is out of sight of the gate, down a long, dirt track that serves as a driveway. The intruder is said to have sprayed the homeowner’s dog with pepper spray, then used a gun after the homeowner woke up. From koat.com:
