King said one of the men started pistol-whipping him while another kicked him repeatedly in the head. His wife, who is eight months pregnant, was in the back bedroom and peeked out to see what was going on.King's heavily pregnant wife used good tactical sense. She did not barge out of the back room with the AR-15. She took up a position, and, as one of the invaders came into her line of sight through the doorway, she shot him. Both home invaders fled the scene. A man was found 200 feet from the house, in a ditch, dead. From baynews9.com:
King said one of the men shot at her. She retreated, grabbed an AR-15 and returned fire.
When he came toward the back door in her line of sight, she clipped him, King said. He made it from my back door to roughly 200 feet out in the front ditch before the AR did its thing.One of the advantages of the AR-15 platform for home defense is the ease of use, even by people with little upper body strength. It recoils relatively little, but has plenty of power to for human targets. The report of an AR-15 is very loud, especially indoors.
The King home is in a semi-rural area of Florida. The home invasion occurred near the center of the image from Google.
Them guys came in with two normal pistols and my AR stopped it, King said. [My wife] evened the playing field and kept them from killing me.
The details are interesting. What is left out is what were they looking for.
From the looks of the guy...rural Florida..Drugs would be my guess
And the fact that he’s a Gator fan...Go Dawg’s
He could have given them that Gator hat.......nah, they wanted something with value! GO DAWGS!!!
My friend lives a couple of houses away. This is NOT a rich section of town. Cows tractors and acreage . Nearly everyone is armed. Good for her.
Glad the intruder died. Call his family to pick up the trash.
Stinks to high heaven.
Im sure that baby didnt appreciate the noise, to say the least. No word about tge 11 year old.
You’ve heard what happens when you get between a female bear and her cub? A female lion and her cub? Female humans can be far more dangerous.
It is increasingly being demonstrated that the AR-15 is the ideal home defense weapon. Easier to use (especially for females), higher capacity, lower over-penetration risk compared to the traditional shotgun or handgun that liberals tell us is all we need to protect ourselves.
Lucky Folks,
Stupid Thugs!

Too bad she could only get one. Good shooting though.
The article finally got around to it being black thugs in the last sentence.
I like my AK for any kind of defense. Not a stamped one but a good machined receiver.
