You ARE pro gun control.

I might have guessed.

Oh well, I hope you learn something here. You doth protest too much about being conservative.

Two 17 year-old's invaded the house four doors down from me. A 72 year old man, and a 68 year old woman. A sherriff deputy lives in the cul-de-sac not 100 yards away, and a cop lives less than 200 feet away.

She came in from the garage with groceries to find the two tying up her husband. Both had guns. She called 911 and loaded the pistol the two had in the garage (propping a chair up against the door from the house.

She fired twice into the door, winging one in the shoulder. She pulled the chair away and shot the same guy in the leg and took his gun.

With both guns in hand, she chased the second through the house. He ran through the screen door in the back yard and got away.

Police got to the scene 11 minutes after the call.

11 minutes really isn't that bad, but it would have been long enough had she not been armed.

The MSM and even Fox seems to have an embargo on any story about home defense.

For me, gun control is the ability to kill your intruder with the first shot. The kind lady, who never fails to greet my kids by name when we walk by her house, DID have to aim through a door, and she does have arthritis in her hands. She always has cookies for them too.

As for respect, I'm not the one using personal attacks.

Guess the weekend didn't help your attitude. Bummer.

I am NOT pro-gun control. Don't know where you got that from.

I simply pointed out that your prior WEAK gun-control analogy was already refuted.

You have a short fuse. Have a nice day.
