LOVE the story about the Gig Harbor woman. Great video.

Wonder how many of the liberals in western WA have decided to arm themselves?

[Cuttnhorse]

Nice calm attitude...the kind of person who should be armed.

[SLB]

I love a story with an ending like this.

[An American!]

Thanks for sharing.
I can’t emphasize enough and I tell all my friends and family this...For anyone considering whether now is the time to get a firearm for the home, PLEASE do so! A basic shotgun that is reliable and easy to learn to operate is around $200 and a decent quality 9mm handgun is only a little more. Not much money to protect your loved ones. Also budget monthly range time until all family members are comfortable with it and confident.

note, the two guys in question were wearing a hoodie

[grobdriver]

LOL!!!
Two white males, late teens, wearing hoodies, the preferred garb of hoodlums everywhere!

The article was very interesting. It is relatively easy to get a concealed pistol license in the state of Washington. Roughly, 1 in 20 people in the state hold a CPL. Lastly, the state of Washington has a unique law which allows recovery for cost of defense if prosecution fails to prove firearm charges.

I have to shake my head at folks who have the latest ipad/iphone gadgets, the big flat screen tv, the fancy SUV, the habit of eating out several times per week, and taking the family on expensive "exotic" vacations... and call themselves "good providers".

Meanwhile, they cannot find a few hundred dollars for a couple of reliable firearms and some training to protect their family from the very real evil in the world.

Tallman appeared at a window, tapped her handgun against the glass to get their attention and gave them a look of, "Come on in, let's play."

I will give her serious points for style. But from a tactical standpoint she would have been better off just laying an ambush. If the thieves had weapons too she just gave away her position and alerted them to come in shooting.

When you have two opponents the last thing to go through the second one's head should be "What was that?". The only thing to go through the first ones head is a fusillade of lead.

is this why there are calls to end stand your ground laws?

Regrettably, in New Jersey the same action would get her arrested for failing to retreat and brandishing a weapon.

This makes me laugh, because the rest of the country is now experiencing what Arizona discovered about 35 years ago.

Back in the 1970s, the US was about at its peak for gun control. The debate around the country was whether homeowners should be allowed to shoot burglars or even armed robbers in their homes, with liberals pushing for the British-style surrender to crime.

But in Maricopa county, AZ, home to Phoenix and currently home to Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a new District Attorney had been elected. And the local yammering media of course wanted to interview him.

One of the reporters blurted out a poorly phrased question about home defense, basically, “What do you do if somebody breaks into your home?”

“You shoot the s.o.b.” (not abbreviated at the time), replied the prosecutor. And while this was a very succinct statement, it also accurately reflected the policy of the prosecutor’s office for many years thereafter.

Great post! Great video!

Any one of these home invaders could have been the homeowners’ own ‘teenage daughter sneaking back into the home after an unauthorized night of sleeping with her sweetheart, you know. THEN what would have happened here, thanks to these vigilantes with loaded guns in their home? Good thing for these paranoid gun nuts that’s not what happened.

/ hysterical liberal mode off

[darrellmaurina]

Good “girls with guns” story.

The TV footage says the woman’s husband is an active duty USAF senior master sergeant and she is former military herself.

Trying to break into a home in a military community with a five pound dog barking up a storm is just plain stupid. Obviously these weren’t the smartest criminals out there.

Why this News story was so well done and receiving 2-thumbs up from all of us. News lady Parella Lewis is a former police officer and co-host of NW Most Wanted. I've never had any indication that she is liberal like most other news people on local NW TV stations.
