Did they catch the intruders? Her life is still in danger.

I bought my daughter a .38 special snubbie for her HS graduation. Not long after that she and her mom were driving to Lake City Florida, about 120 miles, when the transmission failed at 3AM on I-10.

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?
