She should have shot.

Guns and dogs = man or womans best friends when both are ready.

[JimRed]

So, some lib judge will find an excuse to cut the perp loose and next time he'll have a gun of his own. Should'a shot him while she had the chance!

[ozarkgirl]

Nice story, I enjoyed reading that.

[sodpoodle]

Such a well written first hand account.

Must reading for all undecideds.

Thanks for posting it.

She should have shot..my sentiments exactly. If he had an ice pick in his hand..dead man. Course I could also find an icepick in my drawer later.

molon labe, baby.

"She should have shot."

Intruder in apartment with weapon.... she could have reasonably argued that she feared for her life and acted prudently in ventilating the bastard.

I hope all FReepers are armed.

[newgeezer]

Unless I'm mistaken, there are many places in this "free" country of ours -- Chicago, for instance -- where she'd have been hauled away in handcuffs for possessing a handgun.

Good story..But I woulda shot the little ba$tard.

[Spok]

A good story with a good result, but she really should have fired. I've known hardened criminals who, facing an armed polieman, have offered and then attempted to put the officers gun where only a proctologist could find it. One should NEVER count on the sight of a firearm deterring a criminal-it only has to fail once.

I guess there are also a lot of places where you can be "legally" dead then. The choice in those places are: To be legally dead, or illegally alive. Choose life; it's the right choice every time.

[norraad]

Whatever, just shoot the vermin, they never repent, they don't need to be alive.

If only a tiny % of these vile creatures are put down, the rest will stay at bay.

Shoot them.

[exnavychick]

I thought she did well. Personally, I would have a really hard time "ventilating" someone unless they were attacking me, or making a move to.

Of course, by then it might very well be too late, I realize that. OTOH, since the dude wasn't offering any resistance...I just see no need to burden myself with the weight of killing another person, even a criminal, under those circumstances.

Just my opinion, of course.

[CharlieOK1]

good story, and I'm glad she has seen the light, but notice her hypocrisy. She was/is a gun control advocate (for others), but yet had a gun of her own. How condescending, how Rosie Odonnellish

She should have dropped him. A big guy that size could probably get a jump on a normal-sized woman distracted by her ongoing phonecall.

She's lucky she had a firearm, but even luckier that the guy was a complete and total coward of the most pathetic description.

A veteran crook might have disarmed her.

Another convert to the cause!
