At point-blank range, she missed three guys, who were bunched together, despite pulling the trigger on some Armalite long rifle variant. This is what I call a lack of gun control.
I don’t think she was aiming to hit. She was firing warning shots. And that was not smart. She now knows at least one of them had a gun. If he had gotten the drop on her, she and her kids would probably be dead because I guarantee the thug would not have fired a warning shot.
Maybe she didn’t want to hit them, just scare them away. I never wanted a gun until after my home was broken into. Then, I knew I could at least shoot to wound, and got a nice big pistol that would knock down a wounded man. It also has a hair trigger, because I learned that when terrified, I didn’t have much strength to pull a trigger.
