Sable Nehme shows how she turned from the closet and pointed the revolver.
In this case in Florida, a young woman stops a potential tragedy by quickly retrieving a gun that had been given to her by her father. A second later would have been too late. From wftv.com:
The neighborhood, the Village of Alafaya Club, in Orlando, may be sketchy, as are many neighborhoods around universities. Perhaps local readers will be able to tell us if that surmise is true. The boyfriend, Nour Skargee, checked the peephole before opening the door. He only saw one of the intruders. As he cracked the door open, the intruder pushed his way in, grabbed him and pushed him inside. A second intruder in a hoody quickly followed, placed a gun in his face, and ordered him to the floor.ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. Channel 9 talked with a University of Central Florida student who pulled a gun on two violent intruders who attacked her boyfriend and threatened her life.
"They said they were going to kill (her), and that's when I really lost hope, you knowFortunately, Sable Nehme's father had given her a revolver. She was in her bedroom, and the revolver was in the closet of her bedroom. She quickly locked the door and retrieved the revolver, slipping off the holster that it was in. By this time one of the invaders had broken through the door and was rapidly approaching. By the time she had turned, he was within a couple of feet of her. As she turned and pointed the gun at him, he slammed to a halt and ran from the room and out the apartment.?" Skargee said.
"I am so thankful I had that gun in my room. Like, I don't know what would have happened,"Skargee added his opinion, from wesh.com:
If we didn't have a gun, it would have been game over. They were bigger than me, bigger than both of us," Skargee said. "We had no way of stopping them. The gun was the one thing that made them run."But what if Sable had not been in her bedroom? What if she had kept the gun unloaded and locked up, as many disarmists suggest? What if the invader had been a second faster or a step quicker?

Did they catch the intruders? Her life is still in danger.
This was before cellphones, not much traffic so they just sat there.
A pickup truck pulled up and a pair of scuzzballs got out and offered to help. Mary told them she was waiting for a trooper. One of the men insisted on helping, tried to reach in over the window.
Mary rolled out the snubbie and ended that plan.
She was hunting with me when she had to ride on my shoulders. She will use that gun if she needs to.
There have been a series of burglaries and home invasions in the area. I have not yet heard if they have been caught.
A shotgun is a fearsome weapon in a small room.
“He tried to reach in the window.” Amazing how just the sight of a firearm in the hands of would be “victim” can diffuse a bad situation. Shots don’t always have to by fired.
Miss Sable may want to consider a new boyfriend. One with, uh, a higher testosterone level.

Guess you missed the part of the story that said the 2nd intruder put a gun to his face and forced him to the floor.
Guess you missed the part where it was revealed the “gun” was actually a pellet gun—Something most men would have picked up on right away.
How long have you had inadequacy issues?
