He kept coming, and punched her. That's when she shot.
Good on her and thanks for the additional info.
He was a big man and I have small bones. If he punched me, I likely couldn’t have shot the weapon after his punch. I think I would have shot him before he punched me because I would know I was at a great disadvantage. I’d worry about the DA and grand jury later and hope there would be a couple of women with small bones on the grand jury.
I can prove the small bones to the grand jury or jury several ways - for one, a dentist has trouble getting his hand in my mouth. Other people always finish eating before I do. Takes me longer to eat the same amount of food they do.
Had a problem with my knee and that doctor put a needle in my knee with slippery stuff in the needle (made out of rooster comb), and when I got up, I fainted due to the pain. Then, the doctor says my knee was too small to take all the liquid so major pain happened. Hated that doctor for knowing that and still trying to get all the liquid in there. I also wear very narrow shoes, a AAA and it was AAAA when younger.
My point is, each individual does not have the same amount of strength/power to confront an attacker. A hefty woman has a better chance of taking a blow and still be able to function. I couldn’t, so I’m shooting - remember that when you come to my house - please knock and wave a white flag so I won’t shoot you.
Any other small boned women out there? Never in my life before have I had to think about the danger of having small bones. Our society is becoming a race of fighters/killers - one group against another. This is pitiful and I don’t know how much worse it is going to get.
