Just saw this out there and thought I'd pass it on to you. I understand it might not be proper fare for your blog. It caught my eye because it was actually picked up by the major media outlets, though that might be more due to the video footage available than anything else.
Another thing I noticed was that we had just been discussing the situation in Detroit and the reported long response times. Yet, in this case it sounds like they were not only able to quickly respond, but had the three misguided urchins in custody in a day.
Recalling the panic she felt, the mom says "I let them know I had a gun once they were in the house. They said no you don't so I shot off the first round. I wasn't feeling anything at the moment, I got scared afterwards."
We still don't know what they came to steal, but the mother was committed to protecting her two small kids at any cost with her loaded rifle.
Oh NOES!!! She used an Evil Black assault rifle--and a Saturday Night Special one at that! I thought those were just murder weapons and couldn't be used for defense!
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness: Good on her! And good on the police doing their job and doing it well! Gold stars all around. Hopefully the three stooges will rethink their life choices (slim chance, but one can always hope).
Can we expect Laci to come around to explain to us how a security camera is enough?
DeleteOnce again, the axiom: guns are bad news for thuggish home invaders.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely one of the legitimate DGUs. I do post them occasionally but I think the proportion on my blog between misuse of guns and true DGUs is about representative of what's going on in the real world. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteTrying to draw conclusions on anecdotes is not a valid method.
DeleteMeethinks you're talkin out your ass again. Everything is what you "think" is the right proportion--no attempt at scientific analysis.
