Oh? You think it couldn't happen to YOU?

What Does the Georgia Mom’s Shooting of a Home Intruder Mean for the Gun Control Debate? | Fox News Insider:

The NRA is now pointing to the case of the Georgia mom who shot a home intruder to make the point that private gun ownership is necessary for protection.

Yep, it's true.  The anecdotally evident "Home Intrusion" scenario can happen to anybody.... even to you.

Two points:

1. it's okay to hide in the closet when the man breaks down your door.  It won't help .. he WILL find you .. but it's still "okay"
2. when the man breaks down your door ...  shoot him. Shoot him a lot.  Shoot him again!

NOTE: this was the advice the lady-in-the-closet received from her husband when she was "sheltering"  there with her child, her cell phone .. and a gun.  She shot the dude several times .. sometimes in the face .. and now the home invader is dead and she and her child are NOT!

She called her husband, and while he was talking to 911 on another line he was actively and vehemently encouraging her to shoot that son-of-a-bitch "again"!

Oh man, I love it when a plan comes together.   And I feel this soft part in my heart go all pitty-patty when a man tells his wife "SHOOT HIM!  SHOOT HIM AGAIN!"

I'm thinking: bad guy = zero; wife and child 1,000.  They're alive, he's dead, and hey!  He's the guy who decided to break into their home while they were THERE!

What kind of guy breaks into an occupied home, and then tracks down the (female and child) occupants and starts banging on the doorof the closet they're hiding in .. from him?

Did he just want to keys to their car?

I don't THINK so!

Nota Bene:  "Real People" see this is as A Good Thing: Liberals see this as another opportunity to turn the dialogue from "defending your home" to "there is no justification for allowing people to own assault  weapons".     (Not a direct quote: a paraphrase)  No, I don't follow the logic path all that well, either.

This is exactly the kind of heart-warming story which (once again) convinces me that the RIGHT to have a firearm available at all times not only (a) protects your family and (b) ensures the continuity of a "everybody is still alive" life-style that we all know and love, but (c) provides a Darwinian Solution to the question of "should we allow a predator to live .. I Don't Think So!".

EVERY time I read another touchy-feely news story about how we shouldn't allow ANYBODY to have a gun, I don't have to search very long to find a contradictory story . .... like this one ....   which demonstrates that gun-rights advocates are right and gun-control advocates are assholes.

(Sorry.  I know, I must get over the knee-jerk reactionary thing that causes me to refer to to "gun-control advocates" as ASSHOLES!  But it's hard to be humble, when you're right.)

A 'gun rights' person is one who has ever been threatened, and has resorted to a firearm to protect his/her life, family or continued state of good health.

On the other hand, those to whom the whole "protect your life, family, continued state of good health and property" is (trough sheer Good Luck) is merely an intellectual exercise?  Most folks refer to those people as 'gun-control advocates'.  Notice how the word "rights" never appears in their lexicon?  That's because, according to the ASSHOLES .... you have no rights.

Okay, I don't have any problem with referring to them as ASSHOLES, when their subsequent political viewpoint will result in taking the guns away from "Real People".

You have my permission to refer to them as "Gun Control Advocates", if you please.

That charming  (if naive) attitude will disappear as soon as someone  breaks into your home and threatens your spouse, and/or your child.

"SHOOT HIM!  SHOOT HIM AGAIN!"


Works for me!
