A carry permit holder was in just the right place at just the right time to save his elderly mother from a home invader armed with a knife and a shovel.

According to WVLT, Kenny Guffey was on the phone with his elderly mother when an armed home invasion took place. Fortunately, Kenny was armed and in the right place at the right time to save his mother from peril,

Luckily, Guffey was only two minutes away from her Balsam Road home. When he got there, he went inside with his gun drawn.

“I went through the door and he was standing over her with the shovel, I didn’t see the knife, it was dark in there,” said Guffey.

Guffey said the intruder used the shovel to knock his gun out of his hand. He said he then tackled the man and got his gun back while his mother called 911.
