Why is everyone picking on a .38 6-shooter? Could’ve been a 5-shooter like mine, too. Did the job it had to do. The guy is on life support and was disabled. They don’t all have to be dead.

But he was able to walk out of the house get in a car and start driving. Presumably he could have still done some damage to the women or kids had he been in the mind frame to do so. I don’t care if they die or not, but if I shoot someone I want them on the ground and incapacitated. Having said that the .38 was better than nothing and certainly saved their lives.

You are right; this was a good outcome. The criminal was stopped, and the family is uninjured. That is always an outcome to celebrate.
However, a dead criminal is cheaper for the community and safer for other families - who could otherwise be the next victims. The recidivism rate for criminals is quite high (this guy has six arrests since 2008 and just got out of prison in August), and dead solves that problem permanently, protecting my family and yours too. In the same situation as this woman, I would shoot to stop the threat and stop shooting as soon as the intruder no longer posed a threat. The difference is that I would be delivering a whole lot more muzzle energy, and my odds of stopping the threat permanently are much better.

Agreed. The objective is to stop the guy.
