If she were REALLY smart, she would hunt HIS ass down, and take care of him. He’s out to kill her, and he’s walking loose in the world free to do so at any time of his choosing.

In a situation like that, I believe it’s better to go on the offensive. An altercation IS GOING to happen. Better to make it on YOUR terms, instead of his - at 4:30 in the morning while your fast asleep, and he decides to set fire to your house and blow your head off as you are escaping outside.....

(better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6)

She grew up with guns, purchased a Daisy, and is this afraid of guins. Does liberalism cause hoplophobia, or did she acquire some mental disease in college that explains both?

I’ve been told the best thing to have at home is a shotgun. I don’t know.

It's ONE of the best things to have at home, and you should.

You know, I’m getting REAL good with the .45. I could put your eye out at 100 yards (HUGE exaggeration, but you get the point). The problem is, it always takes me about 15 warm up rounds before I start dingin’ em. After that, it’s five shots and five holes in a 9.5 X 11 piece of paper at 21 feet. But, suppose I’m shooting “for real”? Do I say, “Hey, Muhammad, give me a second for 15 practice rounds.”?

A .38???
Do you want to get shot with one?

I love my little .38, and I like my Judge.
I like the way the .38 completely severs the head of a rattlesnake. The Judge peppers the snake good, but it’s harder to tell if it’s been hit.
I would prefer to put a big hole in an assailant over pepper shot.
Along with my handgun, I have a blinding flashlight. I keep them with me when I’m alone.

I’ll say one thing for this story, only in America will liberals arm themselves for self protection. They may whine and complain about it, like this woman, but they still do it.

And, she has the right to do it. In Canada and the UK, theoretically, an ordinary person can get a concealed carry permit. But in practice, the threats experienced by this author would not be considered serious enough.

Nothing wins at close range like a shotgun, that’s for sure.

Carry a pair of back up magazines. The first 8 oughta just about scare the bejeeburs out of them.

My carry piece is a EAA Witness in 10mm. 13+1 with two back up 13 rnd mags.

Still thinking of trading over to a Taurus PT-145 Millenium Pro in .45 ACP. 10+1 and a smaller package to try and conceal.

I'm still a firm believer in "always carry 'enough' gun". Shot placement is laudable, but if taken by surprise I'm not going to care if I hit them in the right eye, the left eye, or just somewhere center mass.

.38 Special out of a 2" snubby does the job just fine.

She obiously wrote this to warn the stalker, but I don’t know if that’s such a good idea.

“I’ve been told the best thing to have at home is a shotgun. I don’t know.”

Because even if your ‘jumpy’ like the perosn who wrote the article, you still can’t miss.

Only with a class 3 permit though. Unless you are in Canada.
