Good point. We don't know the full story. But let's assume she was justified in the shooting. The gun nuts here would have you believe that even though she saved the lives of herself and her children, and the perp is in the hospital and may not survive the night, it would have been better if she had an assault rifle with an extended mag.
This leads me to believe that harm was intended:
'Slater was transported to Gwinnett Medical Center and is expected to survive, the sheriff said.
The Long Island native, who now lives in Gwinnett County, was released from the Gwinnett jail in late August after serving six months for simple battery and three counts of probation violation. Slater has six other arrests in Gwinnett dating back to 2008, according to jail records.'
they don't care about those facts. I posted the same, yet they totally ignored them.
I can't make much sense of this thread. It seems to be an intense debate on gun control but veers off into realms incomprehensible to me.
You are alone in your home with your children, an intruder is knocking at the door so you hide. The intruder finds you and you defend yourself.
I suppose the Gwinnett County PD will question the woman but nothing was mentioned about forthcoming charges against her. It sounds like she responded appropriately.
That is about all I can conclude.
