A Georgia mother and her two young children are unharmed after a man broke into their house with a crowbar on Friday, cornering them in an attic crawlspace.
According to WSB-TV, the woman was at home with her nine-year-old twins when the doorbell rang. When they didn’t answer, the man reportedly went back to his car and returned with a crowbar. ------ But the man eventually found the family.
“The perpetrator opens that door. Of course, at that time he’s staring at her, her two children and a .38 revolver.. ------ The woman then shot him five times, but he survived, Chapman said. He said the woman ran out of bullets but threatened to shoot the intruder if he moved. ------ The woman ran to a neighbor’s home with her children. The intruder attempted to flee in his car but crashed into a wooded area and collapsed in a nearby driveway, Chapman said. ------ My wife is a hero. She protected her kids. She did what she was supposed to do as a responsible, prepared gun owner,” [the woman's husband] Donnie Herman said.
Our country is becoming more & more violent and Obama wants her gun! To him and the leftists liberals, she & her children would just be collateral damage.
Kudos to this woman and her bravery. I would be so scared in a situation like that, gun or no gun. It takes guts to pull that trigger but when you have children to protect, I'm sure it gets easier.
5 shots with a .38 and he survived. That's what my .38 has, 5 shots and I figured that would stop anything. I keep the extra ammo in a different place.

She did what she had to do, but I wondered if he kept coming at her after each shot or did she just make sure he didn't?
It might come down to us having to wear our guns and carry extra ammo.

It's the commie way. People are just that, collateral damage.
