Then the idiot husband says to the 911 operator that he heard the perp “pleading.”
On tape.

Idiot. Keep your mouth shut.

This didn't happen in New York, Illinois, or California. This happened in Georgia....not far from the county that elected the Sheriff that just made national news for making a public stand for the 2nd amendment. My daughter and two grandkids live in the same town this this happened in.

While it's obvious you are ignorant to this fact....the "idiot", my daughter, me, and millions of other Georgians are well aware that we live in a state that is very pro 2nd amendment, and whose laws give us citizens wide berth to use deadly force to protect ourselves and others. We citizens pretty much have the same legal right to use deadly force as LE does.

"The idiot" was well aware that there wasn't a chance in hell of his wife facing any charges...AS HE RACED HOME IN HIS TRUCK TALKING TO 911 IN ONE PHONE AND TALKING TO HIS WIFE ON ANOTHER AS AN INTRUDER WAS APPROACHING THE CLOSET HIS WIFE IN KIDS WERE HIDING IN.

Think you could think clearly in the same situation? It doesn't seem you could being you are sitting in no danger whatsoever and are making broad misjudgments that 5 mins of research and 30 seconds of critical thinking skills could have prevented. Have you heard one peep of charges being filed? No..you haven't.

It's bad enough the armchair heroes on all these threads are decrying the fact the perp ain't dead. What saved this perps life was his teeth and palette deflected the two shots that would've killed him instantly, and despite the best efforts of the dr's, he somehow survived the three that pierced his lungs and liver...overnight.

But for you to call this man an idiot? A man that trained his wife with minimal shooting skills and experience well enough that she made 5 kill shots on target EXACTLY as he taught her...with a weapon that fit her skill and size.

This man and his wife deserve medals.

You sir..deserve the idiot badge.

You don’t get it.

I completely applaud his actions and his wife’s actions EXCEPT where he describes the perp as “pleading” during shooting. That’s just DUMB.

Read every pro-gun blog on the internet. They’ll all tell you not to say ANYTHING to law enforcement that could be damaging. Look at the Bernard Goetz case. While NYers roundly approved of Goetz, the prosecution used the fact that one perp was sitting as a way of attacking Goetz. Here’s an enlightening link:

Look at the Trayvon Martin shooting - a clear case of self-defense in all of *our* books. The state’s attorneys and the media have made hay out of every little detail.

I can *guarantee* you that this perp will be contacted by a lawyer to pursue a civil case against this family because the wife kept shooting WHILE he was “pleading.” Whether or not he pursues that case or he wins it is IRRELEVANT. The husband made a critical error. He made a public statement with which someone can make hay.

So you’re wrong. Bear in mind that I fully support shooting the perp. Multiple times. But never, never, ever say something so stupid to law enforcement or on a 911 tape regardless of where you live.

You seem to forget that Eric Holder is the Attorney General. Whether or not this family lives in GA is irrelevant. If Holder wanted to bring some sort of federal hate crime charge, you KNOW he would.

The bottom line is that it’s not about whether or not charges get filed in this case, it’s about making a habit of SAYING NOTHING when involved in anything involving firearms. Too many hoplophobes out there.

And, yes, I have absolute confidence in my ability to keep my trap shut in that situation.
