This is horrible. She used a gun!!!! Doesn’t she realize that by having a gun in her house she’s increasing her chances of getting injured? Doesn’t she realize that a criminal will just take it away from her? Doesn’t she realize that the police will take care of her? Doesn’t she realize that the intruder didn’t have any other way to get stuff? etc.

Dear Monroe PD,

Please clean the nice lady’s weapon and return it to her ASAP, lest other offenders presume she’s unarmed.

God’s blessings to that women and her husband. I shutter to think of what would have happened to both of them if she hadn’t shot the thug. I noticed, no mention of his name. I wonder why?

There was a story from 30 years ago that I’ve always liked.From the armed citizen page in National Rifleman.Some criminal broke down the door of an old lady,she was in the living room.”Now you’re going to die,you old bitch!”he yelled.
Wrong.She had the 1911A1 her departed husband carried in the war,gave him 3 quick rounds in the chest.

Always have a back-up!

Good thinking on your part!
