He's most likely the killer, or hired the ones who did it.

Actually, it sounds more like she called him first and then called the police as he was racing home.

When seconds count between life and death, the police are only minutes away

May I use that as my tagline?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

feel free..I use it as mine..

[P8riot]

Sounds familiar

[beltfed308]

Model A or B?

[Tolkien]

Maybe she couldn’t get that damn trigger guard off.

[trussell]

Thank you much!

[GeorgiaDawg32]

no problem, it wasn’t my idea of a quote in the first place. I saw it elsewhere here on FR and used it..

Anyone have the audio yet?

Great for playing to city council meetings on gun grabs.

[Mariebl]

Get a gun.

Are they allowed to in California?<.i>

Certainly. Any sort of a standard handgun or shotgun would have been fine

Ah.....the memories. I stopped and toured their place on my way down to Florida in '84. I met the owner and both of us talked for about an hour about mg's. He even had a half track out back with a .50 mounted.

Crates and crates of ammo, MAC 10 and Uzi open bolt parts. Mouth watering experience.

Just so people know the whole story here....

I was watching this on the news last night and a few glaring facts stuck out...

This house is in a very wealthy neighborhood
This house is surrounded by a high security fence
This house has a state of the art surveillance and security system in place and operating
This neighborhood has had several daytime burglaries recently, so the police were aware of a burglar at large targeting these houses

And still, the unfortunate woman died whilst awaiting to be saved by the police. A gun in her hand would have trumped all the other precautions and saved her life. You think there is a lesson there?

Doesn't everyone? :-)

Two lessons: First - the obvious one to the "authorities" No police hurt, no reason to worry - push for more gun control. Second, obvious to anyone who is even vaguely concernt about their own safety. GET A GUN. LEARN HOW TO USE IT.

Somewhere out there from a few years back is audio of a similar 911 call where a little old lady is attacked by a home intruder while she was on the phone with 911. Didn’t have gun shots, but you could hear the guy coming through the door then the lady starts screaming.

That audio and this audio (if it ever becomes available) should be played loud and clear to every gun grabber that says “you don’t need a gun, call the police”

Thanks for the follow up. Lesson? Yeah, no amount of security is security.

[MrB]

also understand their use

And, in the vernacular of the time of ratification, this is exactly what "well regulated" meant. Practiced, familiar with, and able to use - firearms.

Yeah, inexpensive and will get the job done. I love my Mossberg. Though I don’t have the cool pistol grip and accessories, as my wife actually prefers it stock. Whatever makes it easier for her in an emergency...
