He stumbled away from a shotgun wound to the chest...and gave up the ghost hours later?

at the close ranges inside a house a shotgun has the same diameter pretty much as the end of the barrel....in other words...it might as well be a rifle or a pistol as far as hitting or missing.

A shotgun a close range does tend to be pretty final though if hit anywhere near vitals. shotguns have the benefit of not shooting through too many walls and are safer in a crowded house or crowded neighborhood.

Excellent use of a gun.

I get so tired of the comments following these stories.

"Why didn't she use a shotgun?"
"She should have aimed for the chest"
"Someone needs shooting lessons"

WHO FRICKING CARES. The intended victim at least had a firearm to protect themselves, right? Everyone are not gun experts, OK?

She tried to call 911, but couldn't because the power was off.

Either she had:

  1. cordless phones only
  2. coverted her service to VOIP (Internet phones)

Either way, a good reason to stick to old-fashioned, land line plug-in phones. (At least one.) My Internet goes down sometimes for no apparent reason. Do I want to trust my phone to my Internet connection? Don't think so.

Hope the guy lived long enough to contemplate his actions and reflect on his poor choices.

Too bad she didn't get to lean over him as he lay dying and get to tell him what she thought of him, how stupid he was, and that he would soon be dying and going straight to hell.

"The 57-year-old woman shot Ronnie W. Preyer, 47, a registered sex offender, in the chest with a shotgun..."

The guy left this world blowing more bubbles than the Lawrence Welk Show.

This is the type of “Gun Control” that I favor. so I go to the shooting range with my wife and children as often as I can.

Probably no permanent damage. She got the best closure on this incident anyone could ask for.

She should have used a shotgun the first time.

She should sue his estate for the mental anguish and medical bills. This slug’s estate is worthless, but even in matters of law, the best defense is a good offense. It might deter any of his family from pursuing legal action.

It must have been traumatic for her, but she did the right thing. The pig got what he deserved. . .
