Crazy. This is a perfect example of how stupid gun control is - if you want protection from the bad guys - GET A GUN! The police cannot prevent you getting killed.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

And NEVER register them, either.

[wastedyears]

Sorry for yelling, but...

A GUN IN THE HAND IS BETTER THAN 911 ON THE PHONE.

Police find gloves, gun near murder scene

COVINA - Police searching for one to three Hispanic males in connection to a deadly Wednesday morning shooting found a gun and pair of gloves near the scene, officials said.

Hsiao Hsu, 45, was killed in her home in the 19700 block of Cameron Avenue while calling 9-1-1 to report a break in, authorities said.

“When every second is a matter of life or death, the police are only minutes away.”

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

["The woman told the dispatcher someone was trying to break into her home in upscale West Covina, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Dan Rosenberg said.

"Deputies heard gunshots followed by silence and an open phone line," he said.

Deputies arrived at the house, 20 miles east of Los Angeles, a few minutes after Wednesday's late morning call.

The woman, whose name was not released by police, had been shot several times. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene."]

Call 911,

AFTER you have activated .45 cal or 12 Gauge #4 buck.
The very best point and click user interfaces...

If your life is threatened, call 911. AFTER you shoot the SOB dead.

“Call 911, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away”

I could imagine same headline, different outcome.

Bang, bang, bang, bang.

Sure you can still send the police but tell them there’s no rush.

In aviation, we instructors have a saying:

When in trouble,
“Aviate, navigate, communicate”

You stay alive, you get on the ground, and you can deal with any infractions or FAA complaints about procedures later

The parallels here are manifold.

Shoot the SOB dead,
then find your way to a phone,
then call.

You stay alive and you can deal with any infractions or FAA complaints about procedure later

This kind of stuff almost never happens out here in PA.

Burglars know that every 3rd home here has a 12 guage locked and loaded.

A fella that lives down the street had a break-in years ago. He blew off both the robber's hands with a shotgun when he tried to attack with a bat. I don't think the thief will ever be stealing again.

[GOP_1900AD]

Contrast this with the self defense stories up in the front of every American Rifleman mag.

[G Larry]

I’d be calling the front desk, telling them to bring a garbage truck.

911 is for emergencies, and pickin’ up the trash ain’t one.

[TaMoDee]

Fact: Police are crime historians.

Good thing she didn’t have a gun; She might have hurt herself.

[SiVisPacemParaBellum]

Now we’ll get to hear how ‘bad’ guns are in the majority of coverage by the media in the aftermath, instead of how one could have saved a life.

[blam]

This incident should have ended like this one:

Police: Home invasion victim shoots, kills suspects (2)

“...if you want protection from the bad guys - GET A GUN!”

No, no, no! Only the elitists have the right to protect themselves, and the fact that you are on FR makes me think that you’re not an elitist.

[Gator113]

“Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.”

Ok, but at least she didn’t break any gun laws.
