LOGANVILLE, Ga. —A woman hiding in her attic with children shot an intruder multiple times before fleeing to safety Friday.
The incident happened at a home on Henderson Ridge Lane in Loganville around 1 p.m. The woman was working in an upstairs office when she spotted a strange man outside a window, according to Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman. He said she took her 9-year-old twins to a crawlspace before the man broke in using a crowbar.
But the man eventually found the family. "The perpetrator opens that door. Of course, at that time he's staring at her, her two children and a .38 revolver,"

Is that legal?
Clear example of a self-refuting statement.....
Agreed. The objective is to stop the guy.
Utterly BRILLIANT!
In the movies they all go down on one shot.

He forgot the < /sarc> or the < /lib> tags.
I guarantee you they were not PDX1 JHP rounds.
The hospital released a photo of his surgeon:
My instructor told us to avoid EVER making statements like that. In the event you have to shoot someone those quotes can be used against you.
He advised us to administer CPR until the authorities arrive.
So are the criminals.
Multifariously punctured, as the poet said.
Color him ventilated.
You have to get her to think “bigger” not smaller.
The heavier the slide, the less need for a badass recoil spring.
This instance, no way. Either the poster meant it or has inability to even rudimentarily state their sarcasm. I will accept your opinions it was not meant seriously.
Chapman said Slater has four exit wounds.
hmmmm....guess that means two bullets still in his body. I know, let the docs use the perp's crowbar to probe for the unrecovered ones. And rules say, no fair using x-rays, MRIs, etc to find the wound channel. Not even lights, just keep jiggling the crowbar in the dark until you hear the clank of metal on metal. Then use a rusty post hole digger to dilate said wound channel and voila, pluck it out with full hand insertion.
Works every time. Saw Idi Amin do it on the teevee.
Thanks, papertyger. I’ve asked a lot of people that question. That’s the first answer that makes sense.
Have you personally tested Dynamic Research Technologies ammo? I’ve read lots of opinions on the ammo, but nobody has actually confirmed or contradicted the claims.
De Nada.
The easiest to manipulate gun I own happens to be a full size XD .45. Now, when it goes off, that’s a different matter, but even that can be mitigated by lighter ammunition....185 grain, as opposed to the standard 230 grain.
I think some of the specialty stuff even goes down to like 135 grains, but that’s probably too expensive for practice.
When it comes to recoil managment, I like to tell women to think of it as a fishing pole in reverse. Instead of pull, you get a push.
They may not like the recoil. It may even scare them. But it is certainly nothing that someone with the physical strength to drive a car can’t learn to handle. You might want to make her a playlist of YouTube videos on recoil managment and “how to shoot a handgun.” By the time she’s finished watching, she’ll at least be comfortable with the “concept” of recoil, and may even be willing to try some of the bigger doggies.
The only improvement would have been for her to use hollow points.
Nonsense!
How many of these situations do we have to see before the gun community starts collectively advocating "failure drill" over the thoroughly discredited "center-of-mass" protocol?
