Yep. Gun control advocates should be inundated with stories like this every day. One in particular in Oklahoma where a young widow had to shoot 2 intruders to save herself and her baby. One can only imagine what the 2 had in mind for her if she had not been able to defend herself. Guns are the great equalizers.

Range time for close range turkey shot with #6 and #8 shot isn’t really needed.

Robbery will now go down.

****************

I hope you are right...
....down by at least by one perp's statistical contribution...

But the ATL is a big city with lotsa low-info liberals...

They seem to think that if you earned it...
--OR--
If you happen to own it outright....
....they can just "take it" at their leisure...

At least in this one case....
Asserting one's rights...
....contesting the unlawful seizure....
--AND--
Defeating the perpetrator worked as the Constitution intended.

BTW... mt....
Thanks for your many informative posts throughout the year....

Happy New Year

I just simply love stories with happy endings. This is a story of perfect gun control in action. The victim shot and hit exactly what he was aiming at. It just don’t get no better than that.
