If you make guns disappear forever....nothing stops violent criminals from using knives and machetes against unarmed, helpless victims...in Britain, this criminal would have had no problem dealing with this woman.....he could have murdered her and her children without much effort......
In the U.S., this woman made the choice to have a gun and stopped this guy....
Which is better?
1) the robber with the knives and machete murders the woman and her children....it would be his choice since as a man, he is stronger than the woman, and with knives and a machete, he has even more of an ability to kill.
2) the woman has the choice to buy, own and even carry a gun to stop the violent criminal attacking her with the knives or machete?
Waking up to an armed intruder in your house would be any home owner’s worst nightmare. If you’re a single mother with two young kids in the house, finding a man wielding a machete in your bedroom closet immediately kicks you into “momma bear” mode.
That’s what happened to a California woman who woke up to the sound of a man rummaging through her walk-in closet. The thief — Ocean Burger (his name, not a restaurant) — was armed with a number of knives and a machete when the un-named woman grabbed a handgun and confronted him.
From ksbw.com . . .
[Investigators] say Burger ignored orders to leave and when the homeowner fired several warning shots he allegedly advanced towards her, that’s when the mother fired at the accused burglar hitting him in the leg. And California law may be on her side.
Warning shots are never a good idea and could even put you in legal jeopardy in many jurisdictions. In this case, they not only wasted perfectly good (and expensive) ammunition, but probably led Burger to believe she wasn’t serious about actually shooting him.
After advancing on the woman, the round in his leg apparently convinced Burger that he was wrong.
The good news is California actually has a castle doctrine law on the books. The woman had no duty to retreat and was legally justified in using deadly force to defend herself and her children.
“There is a presumption that favors the homeowner they’re presumed that the person is in imminent fear of either death or great bodily injury,” said Ellen Campos, assistant district attorney for San Benito county. …
Keep in mind.......in the U.S., Americans use their legal guns 1.1 million times a year to stop violent criminals from committing rape, robbery and murder.....one or all 3 apply to what happened in this story........according to our Centers for Disease Control....
Out of those 1.1 million self defense with a gun incidents....only 235 criminals were killed by normal gun owners.....this is because guns allow the weak, the old, women, to defeat much stronger attackers.
Notice that this criminal decided to press his attack, even after she pointed the gun at him, even after she fired warning shots......this is a stupid criminal, and he is lucky he didn't die...
In Britain.....criminals have no fear of their victims.....or now, even the police....
