Several shots from a small caliber derringer? Probably a reporter error. More likely a small caliber semi-auto.

I think my five shot NAA 22 magnum is considered a derringer.

Who know? But it obviously was going to take more than seven rounds from a state-mandated regular magazine to take the guy down. Inside a home....I’m of the mind that a simple shotgun does the job better. Course, there’s a bigger mess to clean up later.

Yep, idiot reporter.

semi-auto? possibly

or possibly a revolver. Both can do the job.

Since this is Illinois, the perp will probably get supervised probation.

The woman will go to prison for 20 years.

St. Louis has had self-defense shootings in the past, but for some reason this one was at the top of STLToday.com.

Oh, I know...a derringer was used, so it fit within the “You only need a derringer” template. Sure enough, some sheeple were running with it in the comments section.

Despicable ghouls.

I would not have been surprised if the reporter called her weapon an “assault derringer.” Why not take the opportunity to show how awful guns are even in a story like this?
