Guts, gun, and good sense saved a family from being robbed and a family member kidnapped. It also probably saved four teens from spending a much longer time in prison.

A 51-year-old man from Baker, Florida, got a call from his 17-year-old daughter, Amber, in the evening on Tuesday, Nov. 7, he told police. She was returning home and said somebody had blocked the road to their house with barrels.
