Good thing she had a gun and knew how to use it. This could have been a very sad story.

The article failed to mention how she happened to have a gun to shoot back. Isn’t Missouri a concealed carry state?

She must have had a conceal carry weapon on her. Just going in to the house and immediately coming out probably wouldn't give her time to go get a gun.

She was also very observant to describe the perps (including the car and a woman sitting in it). Must have been the get away car.

I say she did a fantastic job with one shot. Hope this gets more coverage in our local paper here. If she WAS a CCW permit holder, it will support the right to carry even more. Good job!!!

She left the house, and the men followed her. She told police that one of the men had a handgun and pointed it at her. She fired one round at the men, the release stated.

Okay 'editor', how about BETTER reporting?

• Did she already HAVE a gun?
• Did she have to GET a gun?
• Etc, etc, etc. mr 'editor'

Anyway, I love happy endings :-)

Good thing this happened when it did. In a couple of years, gun ownership will be illegal—except, of course, for Mexican gang members—and she would be charged, locked up and her property divided among the “misunderstood youths” who were simply rearranging her furniture.

A woman whose house was being burglarized is believed to have shot one of the three men

If something like this happens, I'm going to try very hard to make that at least TWO of the three men.
