A good person with a gun

Woman, 85, shoots and kills home intruder in ‘heroic’ act of self-defense https://www.kcrg.com/2024/04/12/woman-85-shoots-kills-home-intruder-heroic-act-self-defense/

Woman saves her life along with her disabled son.
Should she be praised or ridiculed because it doesn’t sound like she had her gun locked away in a safe that wasn’t going anywhere.

I don't generally praise people for saving their own lives but I certainly don't ridicule them for it either.

I would express concern about the safety of keeping one's firearm under their pillow. There seems to be safer ways of making the firearm easily accessible.

357 magnum. That's quite a gun to have. She had every right to kill him.

Based on the outcome, it appears she knew the best place to keep her gun for maximum safety and efficiency.

Can you imagine the amount of grit you would have to have to not just give up and close your eyes and bleed out and then to have to explain to your son to bring you a phone so YOU could call the police?

Did she swipe right, though?

The 2A is very important

This is an individual scenarios and I'm sure other scenarios have not turned out so well.

I would suggest a quick access safe is a better place.

We don’t know the layout of her home or any further details of her situation, but I bet her shoulder and arm are sore right now. Along with her wounds.
But her actions were 100% justified. The dude did shoot her several times. That’s a tough old gal.

No question her shooting was justified, I just wouldn't recommend "under the pillow" as a storage solution for a firearm.

Another illegal doing bad things. Must control the border.

So you’re saying she’s a murderer because she didn’t swipe her gun to the right.

 

[millah_22]

No, I'm suggesting maybe she swiped right, forgot, he assumed he had consent and entered, and then she shot him becuase he also swiped right and she had consent to penetrate him (with a bullet.)

That's EXACTLY what @millah_22 is trying to say. He's so stoopid

He probably means he wants to shoot her because she didn’t swipe right.

or in your mind. Let’s allow more illegals in to commit crimes so they can try and catch up to the legal Americans committing crimes. That way we can double the amount of crimes happening in the United States. Wooohoo

I think he's saying that you're lucky you weren't the first one to her house.

Who is allowing illegals in to commit crimes?

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Who is allowing illegals in to commit crimes?

A lot of our great politicians on both sides.
I do know of a recent governor that’s trying to pass a series of bills though to make it a state crime which could lead to deportation.

Did you know there are already laws to deport illegals?

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Did you know there are already laws to deport illegals?

And do you know why they are not being deported?
Who’s in charge of this country anyway?

They are when they are caught. If only you wouldn't pay attention to your fascist leader and support democracy.
