Sorry, I missed the point. What was I supposed to learn from this?

[NEMDF]

I think it was something about check your underwear for twisting out of place, when you slide out of bed in the middle of the night to confront the armed intruders breaking in to your house.

It confirmed to me why I practice shooting face sized targets two at a time.

He chickened out and is lucky his family wasn’t slaughtered.

Ummm....sisters-in-law are expendable? /s

[Conservative4Ever]

Don’t have a showdown with thugs in your underwear, I guess.

Castro’s gun-grab combined with Kennedy’s surrender to Khrushchev (pledging not only to disarm Cuba’s desperately embattled and outgunned freedom fighters—but to prevent any nation in this Hemisphere from arming them) sealed Cuba’s doom.”
************************************************************Did Kennedy agree to this in truth?

Good story. Times are changing, not for the good. If we are secretly becoming an Islamic populated nation under our very noses, then once again we are in HUGE TROUBLE. We obey the rules of engagement,

God help America find her way again. Remove evil plans of deception from our high offices, and our enemy has no rules other than win at any cost!!!

[BuckeyeTexan]

What was the point? He put his gun down. You don’t put down your gun.

[TheRhinelander]

In his situation a shotgun was a bad choice. with a handgun or rifle he could of shot the guy.

Well I don’t know how much of this article is B.S. but in 1981 Snoop Dogg was 10 years old and known as Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr.

I hope I never get put in the situation but with two armed urban ferals in your house it is 99 to one that either you or they are going to die. It easy to monday morning quarterback but I think even the author knows it is a miracle that his sister and wife were not raped and murdered.

Nothing. They tried to sell it to Confidential magazine first but were rejected. Had to do something with that story.

[HogsBreath]

What I got was that he thought he was a wolf, but when confronted by a real wolf, he found he was really a dog. Know your enemy and yourself, said Sun Tzu, and you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles.
That being said, it took big ones for him to tell the story.

[geologist]

The great thing about communication is much of it is to inspire thought. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Of course it is easy to second guess from a safe position in front of a computer, but how about face to face?

[Gaffer]

Actually, I don’t believe one word of this.

[SampleMan]

In his situation a shotgun was a bad choice. with a handgun or rifle he could of shot the guy.

He had a duck gun. At those ranges the pattern is the size of your fist. Put the bead on the side of the guy's head, away from sister-in-law, and squeeze.

The question is which to shoot first. I'm thinking that the best option is perp without hammer cocked. Or perp with gun on me.

Woman should have folded legs and fell, but this guy wasn't ready to shoot. That is the #1 problem.

[Daveinyork]

If it happened as he said, it illustrates the choice that most of us hope we never have to make, but need to be ready to make if necessary.

[Dubh_Ghlase]

I have arrived at the conclusion that, sooner or later, we all have to die. In a situation like this, it may be my time, but I will not go alone...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

What was I supposed to learn from this?

Never give up your piece. Never.
