A pregnant woman is credited with saving the lives of her husband and daughter after she used an AR-15 to fatally gun down a home intruder, a report said.

The hero mom sprung into action when two intruders entered the family’s Lithia, Fla. home last week and pistol whipped her husband while violently grabbing their daughter, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

“They came in heavily hooded and masked,” the husband, Jeremy King, told Bay News 9.

Sounds like all she needed was one single round. One less hoodlum for society to mess with.

Firearms manufacturers face orders of magnitude more scrutiny in the press than others. Imagine the headline “Women Affixes Three Sheets of Paper with Swingline”.

I live not very far from this town. I have taught my wife to become very familiar and comfortable with the 12 gauge autoloader we keep in our home.
It is currently configured as short barrel weapon for in home defense.
She is a petite oriental woman 5’1” tall and, reluctantly, has become quite comfortable with the weapon.
If ever needed any bad guys forcibly entering our home will be in for a deadly, bodybag surprise.
We do not keep this weapon Locked in a safe. It is readily available at all times and fully loaded in case of necessity.
The semi-auto shotgun is a great home defense weapon for the person not professionally trained. The primary limitation is the rounds allocated before reloading is needed.

She didn’t “gun down” the miscreant. That term has perjorative force. She righteously shot him.

Writers use these terms without understanding. What do they do? Randomly pick from a list?

““When he came toward the back door in her line of sight, she clipped him,” King told the outlet. “He made it from my back door to roughly 200 feet out in the front ditch before the AR did its thing.”

Police said in a press conference that they found the man’s dead body lying in the ditch nearby. “

________

e made it from my back door to roughly 200 feet out in the front ditch before the AR did its thing.”

This might be trouble.
Was he shot inside and ran to the ditch?
OR
Was he shot in the ditch after leaving the home.

Naw. She gave him a magazine subscription.

I’m surprised to see that in a New York publication. Glad to see that the family will be okay.

Nope, never happened, its all a lie. CameraHogg-Homo and his ugly friend Cue-ball told us it never ever happens.

While the left destroys law enforcement it also assures us while trying to take our guns away that law enforcement is there to protect you and you don’t need to protect yourselves.

You can run, but you'll only die in a ditch. Those irrepressible ARs.

Two houses down from a friend and retired coworker. Very rural and everyone is pretty much armed.

They came in heavily hooded and masked,”

One contestant left with a death shroud/body bag. Life of crime leads to a dead end.

I read she shot 1 and they both ran. One made it to the ditch along side the rode.
