While I understand your criticism Dale, and even agree in principle, I won’t find fault with the woman in this case. She did everything correctly. She stayed aware of her surroundings, recognized the threat, readied herself for it and performed admirably when she had to employ lethal force. If I were to criticize her it would be for shooting him in the abdomen. I’d tell her that the shots would be better placed in the center of his chest. If she is quite proficient with her gun then two in the chest and one in the face/head would be ideal. "But shots to the head will almost certainly be lethal!" Yep. "But she’s only supposed to stop the threat!" He intended to shoot her, and a bullet to the head would stop the threat. It’s not pretty...it’s life or death. All in all she did well and I am very proud of her actions as a law-abiding, empowered woman. This lady is a true feminist because she took accountability for herself and her safety. |

You don’t fire a couple of shots, then pause to gauge the effect. You keep firing until your assailant no longer presents a threat. That’s what I taught my wife: "You keep firing until the gun is empty or they are clearly dead". By "clearly dead" I mean brains and bone splattered on the wall behind them. Removes all the guess work.
And yes, it’s graphic and clearly not politically correct. But then if my wife is alive, I really don’t give a rip about all of that. As the old saying goes, I’d rather she was judged by 12 than carried by 6. |

[yoda]There is no "overkill", only do.[/yoda]
Some sage opined that the #1 rule for a gunfight is to have a gun. All the states, including my own (Ohio) which passed concealed carry laws have seen crime reduced. This despite the claims that crime, particularly murder, would skyrocket.
Sometimes the truth hurts, but not as much as a well-placed bullet. |

I think former TX U.S. Rep. Dick Armey captured the sentiment well:Nominated for Quote of the Year is the statement made by Texas
Representative Dick Armey, who when asked: If you had been in
President Clinton’s place, would you have resigned?
He responded:
"If I were in the President’s place I would not have gotten a chance
to resign. I would be laying in a pool of my own blood, hearing Mrs.
Armey standing over me saying, ’How do I reload this *%@*& thing?’ |

Sexual assault with a rifle? Truly perverted. Or was that the word their journalistic style book said to use? I must admit a little jealousy, however; at best, I can only muster an Uzi. *sigh* |
