Woman hiding with kids shoots intruder

[J.E.D]

A 30 round mag would have done the trick.

A revolver already did the trick

AGAINST A CROWBAR!! This woman got lucky.

Are you seriously telling me that a crowbar is a deadlier weapon than a revolver?

Sure, in the right hands anything can be a deadly weapon. But in this case, the revolver won. What in the fuck are you nuts bitching about?

And the mother should wait there with her two kids in the crawl space...hiding from the guy...then when he opens the door and finds them, she should ask him if he has any experience using a crowbar as a deadly weapon? Or better yet, wait until he tries to use it on one of her kids or her, analyze his use of it, then decide if shooting the home intruder is fair????

Whatever you're smoking, I really don't want any of it.

If we allowed physical harm as a form of punishment, how many shots from a .38 would be sufficient punishment for the crime of trespassing with intent to commit grand larceny?

Before you assholes get your panties in a wad....know that I have a loaded .38 stored in a convenient place in my home and would use it if someone broke into my house.

But to say that the firearm was ineffective because the idiot is still breathing is simply warped thinking.

Not true. Any weapons training class in America will tell you that unless you intend to 'shoot to kill', you shouldn't be shooting at all.

Better to scare someone away BEFORE they get in the house than to try to deal with them AFTER they're IN the house and can't be seen by anyone who's outside.

Obviously, you don't know anything about self defense. You don't know what kind of weaponry that guy is carrying. And you don't know his intentions are. But hey, you can go ahead and do that if you want. But don't blame the rest of us if it gets you killed. This woman played it smart. Don't demonize her for that.

He's in the hospital with holes in his stomach and lungs. The lady and her children are alive. The revolver did its job. Get the point, asshole?

She'd be dead if he had a gun. She got lucky that he wasn't carrying one himself. Get it asshole?

 

[The Breeze]

You guys need to read your own links before trying to use them as examples of the need for automatic or semi-automatic weapons or extended mags. The woman used a .38 revolver. Not an AR15. Not an extended mag.

She emptied the revolver hitting him all 6 times and he did not go down, getting the point yet pinhead?

He's in the hospital with holes in his stomach and lungs. The lady and her children are alive. The revolver did its job. Get the point, asshole?

And now he'll live to commit more crimes.

Not true. Any weapons training class in America will tell you that unless you intend to 'shoot to kill', you shouldn't be shooting at all.

And any self defense classes (Krav maga, specifically) will train you to to totally incapacitate your attacker before you stop fighting back. If the attacker happens to die, well....

 

[Inthemiddle]

The purpose of the op was to make a point that automatic weapons are better for defense than non-auto weapons.

Are you high on LSD? Because you're hallucinating. Nobody said anything about automatic weapons. Why are you even bothering? You don't know the first thing you're talking about.

How did you get that out of what I wrote? Jesus, you people are fucking nuts. As I said before, the guy got what he deserved -- whether he lives or dies. The woman kept herself and her children alive. Her revolver did its job.

You can get back to your crack pipe now.

Calm down Josephina.. wow. Flipping out on us.

Sure...while mentioning (and showing) that she has a gun. She might even just say that she has more than one. How would the guy know if she's lying or not? Would he even want to take the chance?

Criminal's response: Oh shit, she's seen my face. I better pull out my gun, hurry up and get in there, and waste her ass. Ain't no way I'm going back to prison!!

And? What's your point, dumb fuck? She WAS carrying a gun. She defended herself. I never stated otherwise or criticised her for using a gun. Get it, you stupid motherfucker?

Good. At least you're not as insane as Mustang, so you have that going for you.

God damn, stop being suck a fucking idiot. The woman got lucky because THE ATTACKER ONLY HAD A CROWBAR. IF HE'D BEEN CARRYING A GUN, SHE WOULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW. At the very least, she would have been seriously injured. Obviously, her six shots didn't disable the attacker. The only reason she didn't get hurt is because she was lucky that he wasn't carrying a weapon.

This will never make national news, it is against the agenda of the socialist/communist/wantabe dictators that want to eliminate freedom and liberty and replace it with a class system where the gov't is the elite and the rest of us are SLAVES!

You are absolutely right, it is the natural order of things, the short sightedness of my friends is they are too cheap, you cant take someones gun away from them by force when they are poor, they must be prosperous and happy, then they will give up the guns to protect there good lifestyle.

And I hope this woman was punished accordingly, and her child put in a safe, secure, and clean foster home.

This story seems a little odd. There's a lot of relevant information missing from it. What was his motive? His criminal history? Why would he go to the attic if he was merely a burglar since most valuables would be in the living quarters? Why wouldn't he just want to get in and get out? Did he hear noises? Why would she need to shoot him five times if she had a gun and he didn't? The story is extremely short on any kind of details.

The article points out he had been arrested 7 times in just one county since 2008. “Valuables” to some criminals are living breathing women and children to rape and murder.

But she was carrying a weapon. And she and her children are alive. What in the fuck are you people bitching about?

Here is another article about this incident:

The revolver saved her life and the life of her children. I'd say it did a pretty good job.

You guys may as well hang this thread up. It has acheived the opposite of what the op intended.

You did read the article, right?

The intruder attempted to flee in his car but crashed into a wooded area and collapsed in a nearby driveway, Chapman said.

9 more slugs and this wouldn't have happened. What if he'd run over a couple kids while "attempting to flee"?

Would you still have the same opinion?

So, everybody should have autos with extended clips in case the 6 slugs from a revolver doesn't kill a criminal on the spot?

Everybody should have whatever they feel necessary to protect themselves, their family, or friends from a dangerous intruder. The woman in the article found herself with an empty gun. She was lucky that she hit the guy enough times to put him down.

Personally, I would not want to cut it that close. I would like to have a few more rounds in the gun to ensure the intruder was no longer a danger to me or mine.
