Fox News reports a mother in South Carolina heroically sprang into action by shooting at a would-be robber after the home intruder threatened the lives of her family on Thursday night.
Ashley Jones, a mother of three in Anderson County, SC, heard a loud banging on the door of her home. She then saw a man pounding on her glass sliding door near her kitchen. Jones quickly called 911 and grabbed her gun. Despite warning that she had a gun and was ready to use it, the criminal still kicked down her door. That is when Jones pulled the trigger and the scrub ran off. But, Jones did make contact.

“Dont know what Id a did”, but she done good
Bravo Bravo Bravo Bravo Bravo Bravo Bravo Bravo Bravo!!!!!!!!
Ouch!
Good thing she wasn’t alone. Smith & Wesson were there with her.
You have no idea how scary this can be.
Had a junkie pounding on my back (glass) door. Even after I screamed I had a weapon and would shoot him if he entered, he kept pounding away.
My wife called the local PD - the dispatcher kept asking if it was a drunk... I finally yelled at her to say I had a loaded weapon pointed at the door and was ready to fire....
Cops showed up FIVE minutes later.
The found the guy hiding in the bushes next door - naked. the one cop took the a-hole away and the other cops were laughing.
I went outside and asked the lead officer what was so funny - and would he still be laughing if I had shot the guy? The laughing stopped there.
The next morning we found the guy’s crack pipe in our garden flowers.
We found out later, the gay had been smoking crack / humping somebody’s old lady at a house down the street when the woman’s husband showed up early from work....
This was several years ago - Anchorage has turned into a real cesspit since then...
She needs a larger caliber weapon and some range time. Two rounds center mass and one round to the brain housing group.
Shoulda shot ‘em both.
Yep. Multiple times.
“So then he kicks the door in as soon as he kicks the door in and tries to take a step in my house that’s when I shot him and he ran off,” she told Fox. “Something just came over me, I got calm and my heart slowed down.”

That is one based Mom!
This is why everyone should have a gun, have it readily reachable, and know how to use it.
“...she done good.” Disqualifies you from teasing about “ “I’d ‘a’ did.” Both are slang and nonstandard English usage.
The officers should take that seriously. You were in trouble both physically and legally in the terrible anti-gun climate these days.
A story that haunts me is Theodore Wafer (please google) in Michigan. Many times teen thugs make a diversion at the front door demanding to talk to owner. Then he hears breaking glass in rear door or kitchen window. Too late, thugs barged in and held him at knife and gunpoint. Several crimes like that before Wafer’s story. Didn’t apply to his case.
Wafer lived alone and had been victim of teen vandals hurting his car recently. He heard pounding on front door at night. Heard young woman howling, screaming, babbling loudly on and on. Couldn’t find his cell phone to call 911. Misplaced it. Panicked. Opened door a little and wildly agitated woman was demanding to come in and screaming again and again at him. He got a shotgun and said to leave. She pushed at door and gun when off. He said it was an accident. Shot went into her on porch at outer edge of doorstep.
Ending: He is in prison for many years. Woman’s car had broken down & she was on drugs & inexplicably had walked a great distance across fields to his house.
Even though Wafer at no time left his own home from inside—he was convicted. Court ruled doorstep had not been crossed into his home so killed someone outside.
He was sincerely crying in court that he didn’t mean to cut short her life and it was an accident while he panicked. Family of woman claimed white racism and took a fortune in settlement cash (must have been his house insurance) and said they wished he could be electrocuted.
This story is so sad its haunts me.
entire messages disquals you from having a sense of humor
A gun in the hand is worth more than a carload of cops on the way.
There’s a video of this incident?
I could not find a link for it.
So true.
It’s in the article but might take some time to load up as it did on my comp.
Yes, click on townhall and the video is at the bottom of the article.
It's a black mother, and a very big white guy with his goofy side kick and when he kicks the door open, BOOM.
Hit him in the shoulder, and he took off.
The woman could have shot the female perp, but choose not to
I'd prolly would have popped her.
