That's nice, dear, but lose the rifle and get a revolver or a short shotgun.

Here's an intersting quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin which I posted on a different 'gun related' thread earlier today. "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote"

This might be a good picture of why the Muslims have not totally destroyed Israel...because she is armed to the teeth and has proven she will defend herself.

What will Chuckie Schumer have to say about this? That Mama should have known that the gun posed more of a threat to her children than did the intruders and that she should have called 911 and waited. Nothing else.

If that mom called 911, in the amount of time it takes the police to arrive she and her children couldv'e been killed. That gun saved that family's life.

I think it is a shotgun.

One more point for our team... Maybe two points... the "running man" may think twice about entering an occupied house in the future.
It wasn't clear who owned the gun.
This is an odd comment. Is it just too unthinkable that it was her gun or what?

One down, one to go...

Here's an earlier thread. Yours does have more details.

This is an odd comment. Is it just too unthinkable that it was her gun or what?It is considered good practice to keep a "clean" untraceable gun on hand should the intruder turn out to be unarmed...
