Did you read the story? The women was in the attic with her children and the perp came after them. You are a fool—a gun is not a safety blanket that chases away the bogey-man; it is a tool designed to kill. Used properly, it prevents recidivism 100% of the time.
If you want to scare someone, shout, “Boo!”
If you want to kill someone, shoot them (preferably numerous times)! If you are not prepared to kill, don’t have or brandish a weapon.
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.
