With any luck, the miscreant will limp for a long time — lots of small bones in the foot.

OTOH, I want to know about any possible prior relationship and what was happening in that particular house previously. A lot of this this will be a boyfriend after an argument, or there will be reasons to think there was money from drug sales in the house.

The woman lives on S. KerFOOT street - and she shot the guy in the foot, so if she lived on HART Street, maybe she would have shot him in the hart (heart).

“She needs more firearms training, she should have shot the intruder in the face!”

Many years back, I put 3 round through the chest of a Viet Cong soldier, then I had to provide medical help and transportation.
After that, I knew that center of mass was not always effective and I only went for head shots. Head shots work like a light switch.

“...South Kerfoot Avenue....hitting him in the right foot...”

Too bad she didn’t live on Hart Street.

********

So the gal lives on Ker - FOOT Avenue. Hitting him in the FOOT. Plus, it was SOUTH Kerfoot Avenue, and everyone knows that SOUTH is DOWN, as in she shot him too far south, hitting him in the foot.

And the “HART” Street, well - I figured that is probably more probable than a Heart Street. Maybe Sweetheart lane?? Anyway, so if she lived on Hart/Heart Street, instead of hitting him in the foot she would ...

Aw heck. Stupid little jokes are REALLY stupid when I have to explain them! ;)

Were you using a "You can tell it's swell, it's a Mattel" .22?

No, it happened about a month before they took our really nice M14s away from us and gave us those piece-o-crap M16s. The rounds were 7.62 Nato. However, the rounds were ball not FMJ.

No, not stupid.

I just zigged rather than zagged to think it reflected some local knowledge.

"... hitting him in the right foot ..."

I immediately thought of the scene from the movie "Guarding Tess", where Tess scolds her bodyguard for having shot a man in the toe "after all that practice".

“We don’t know why the woman shot the man’s pet deer, why he had a pet deer, or why he took it with him on a robbery. It has been reported that the investigating officers are looking for Rod Sterling in the bushes....”

I suspect that in Chicago like other blue libtard fiefdoms, since they can’t yet deploy SWAT teams to your house at 3 am to Manafort you and take your guns, they create bureaucracyfare.

They generate so much admin crap, paperwork, obscene fees, dozens of different departments that have to approve various and sundry absurd things, it becomes an endurance contest.

Your only other option is to become a criminal.

I understand our concept of injuring the enemy as it takes 3 of their people to take care of one WIA.
However that is BS when dealing with an enemy that just walks over their fallen, or you drop them on our side, so we get to care for them.

Too bad we weren't allowed Remington Core Lokt's.

The woman took out a gun and shot the intruder, hitting him in the right foot, police said.

I bet he was hopping to get away with it.

The FOID card is a State of Illinois thing, though, not something Chicago came up with on their own.

If there wasn't a Chicago, there wouldn't have been a FOID card. I am proud former resident of Davis Junction, IL.

Nice try!
