True but a handgun can drop a man on the spot depending where he is hit and the adrenilin flow at the time. Sort of like a deer shot through the heart with a 12 guage slug, seen em run a half mile before they ran out of blood.

This is a Hollywood myth. Sound like a job for the 
!!
Matter a fact they did this not long ago.
They hung a pig carcass on a hook and all the bullets, they tried many calibers, went straight through the pig.
It only fell after a round hit the shoulder blade and that shook it off.

Alright! She did great! She would still have done better with a better load or a larger caliber.

As my concealed carry instructor explained to us, handguns create little holes in people, but they don't knock people down.uh.... I think my 14.45 ParaOrdnance might cause somebody to "falter"... and if I hit them in the sternum.... I'm thinking yep, it'll knock you down...

Great, great grandmother at age 64 ...
which means the average age the mother's gave birth is 16 years old.
Maybe I'm missing something.

uh.... I think my 14.45 ParaOrdnance might cause somebody to "falter"... and if I hit them in the sternum.... I'm thinking yep, it'll knock you down...I lined up 15 of my closest friends yesterday and shot them in the chest with my 14.45 ParaOrdnance, just as a test. None of them felt a thing and all of the women kissed me afterwards.
Seriously, however, my choice of words was unfortunate in my earlier comment, but still, handgun bullets will kill you, but will not physically push you backwards.

I have a suspicion that she doesn't own the weapon--that it was the property of the person who owns the store. A lot of people, and she probably falls into this category, simply can't afford to purchase the gun of their choice.

WoW. Amazing story! Not only is she brave for shooting the perp, but she's brave to have 10 kids too. LOL I cannot even imagine having that many. ;-)

I was robbed at gunpoint while working at a gas station when I was 16 near Newark, N.J. Guess what? I gave those guys what they saw in the cash drawer and they ran off with $40. There was another $200 they didn't see that "disappeared" before the cops arrested them down the block:) I I.D.'d them and off they went. I considered it hazardous duty pay. Even at a squirty, snotty 16, I knew it was a business expense for the owner. I got another after-school stock job at a department store after soon after that.
