Do you have to resort to name calling to make your point?
I understand your point, and do not disagree with it.
I read the story. I am just pointing out that there are many reasons for giving the left more reasons to hate gun owners.
They will say she didnt warn him, she just blasted away.
I personally LOVE the fact that the perp was on the floor begging her not to shoot him any more...
The coolest use I ever saw of a weapon was when me and a friend were in AZ and standing outside a car talking on the phone in a bad area. It turned out the car he thought he was there to buy was a setup- they just wanted to lure someone with deposit cash to a blind alley and rob them.
Three thugs walked our way while he was on the phone, and he simply opened his shoulder vest pulled out his 38 and waved it, and they took off running.
You want to have a gun and let everyone know so you DONT HAVE TO use it. I was also in the miltary police and know officers in the reserves who have had to shoot someone- they are NOT happy about the experience.
I was only commenting on the fact that the husband sounded giddy and more happy that his wife was shooting someone than he was about anything else. It did not sound good.
“pulled out his 38 and waved it”
I lose my CCW in GA if I brandish my firearm absent an active threat.
They will always have reasons K...we cannot live worrying about that.
Gail is quite right.
This poor woman took the trouble to go hide in an attic. The perp was free to rob her house at will but he went to seek her out. He had plans for her and her kids. She did the right thing to open up on him and its just too bad she didn’t have that .38 loaded with critical defense rounds or she would have killed him. Her husband was probably yelling at her to make sure she didn’t lose her nerve and stop shooting.
You don’t warn the threat until it goes away you shoot it till it goes away.
I apologize for the name calling. I am not suggesting that killing anyone (even someone who deserves it) is pleasurable.
Yes, people will run if they see a gun or hear the distinctive sound of a shotgun slide, but you have forfeited precious time if they have a different response.
I just strongly feel that a weapon should not be drawn unless it is being used. The way to become a member of that tiny statistic of people whose gun is used against them is to wave it around without intending to use it.
