All I see is “The incident can be seen below.” and there’s nothing there.

I cannot find any video link to the incident.

I don’t know if it’s my computer or not, but the selection of videos doesn’t show it although it shows other ones, and below that are the comments.

That’s it.

OK, I found it at the FoxNews link.

That was not obvious.

// “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’s the line that jumped out at me, as well. Well done. I hope that I can be as effective in my actions as she was in such a terrifying time of need.

I hope she remembers to vote appropriately when it comes time. She probably had a semi-automative weapon...and there are many that want those illegal. I hope she puts two and two together and understands that those who caucus with Pelosi are caucusing to take away the semi-automatic pistol.

Here’s the video, well worth watching & further fleshes out the experience:

https://www.foxnews.com/us/south-carolina-mother-of-3-shoots-home-invader-i-wouldve-killed-him-if-i-had-to

*she speaks very matter of factly about the situation: “I went and got the gun by our bed.”
*not only did she feel calm come over her & her heart slow down, but she said she became more focused.
*never thought she’d have to use her gun, doesn’t know what she’d have done without it.
*great example of 2a in action.

The FoxNews story says she was not charged — but it looks like she’s right there in on the mischief, not backing away from it, and NEEDED to be charged.

Seems making an example of others is a lost art, leading to the rise we see in rampant bad behaviour.

A gun in the hand is worth more than a carload of cops on the way.

I'd say! The one and only time my house alarm has ever gone off in the middle of the night, it took a very long 25 minutes for a deputy to arrive.

My Kimber 1911 .45 ACP w/ 230gr HPs is either on my belt, or within reach. Always. I was robbed and shot on 7/14/75, still carry the .32cal near my spine, and that won’t happen again.

Very true. I had a couple of thugs try to break into my motel room a few years ago. As soon as they saw my Glock 23 pointed at them they bolted. Which was a very wise decision. Had they breached the door, I would have opened fire.

But, of course, the gun grabbers say people never use guns to protect themselves. As in your case, often the gun is not fired, because having it is enough to deter the thugs. Glad you were safe.
