Home invastion caught on tape. What would you do?

NOTE: If you have to call 911 to save your life from a criminal in your home, it's probably already too late.

I really hasten to even throw my two cents in here, I have read some of the post, not all, so forgive me for butting in. This is more to do with the title of this thread, then what you gentlemen have been debating back and forth over.... (to some extent)

My opinion on women owning handguns is probably laughable atleast to some of you.

But I don't believe every women in general needs to own a gun, especially if she hasn't been around them at some point in her life, or if she doesn't intend to go as far to enter into a concealed handgun/safety class to learn whats she's doing. But then again, I've seen these women also, and they are still dangerous. They get nervous and fidget, point it at people....and still remain quite unsure of themselves or their target. And thats a scary place to be.....not to count, they themselves still remain scared of the gun itself.

Shooting someone during a break in would be the least of their worries, getting nervous and shooting themselves or a family member by accident would the more likely scenario.

They'd be better off with a baseball bat and pepper spray.....

Practice makes perfect.

I agree with MMS. Unless a woman has learned how to handle a gun at a young age, they tend to be afraid of them. Guns and people who are afraid of them, just don't mix.

I agree...........Practice does make perfect.
But there are still alot of women out there that view handguns in a whole different light than I do.

They are scared of them,
have very bad opinions on gun use,
and think that they will never be put in the situation to have to use one,
and you'd never get them to change their minds,

until they've been put in that situation...than its too late.

Hence, the value of gunnery ranges.

There was a lady in Florida, Susan Gonzales, who feared n detested guns.
She requested her husband not to have any guns in their house,
especially with their children there.
One night, 2 criminals broke down their front door.
They entered her home, shot Mrs. Gonzales twice,
and shot her husband as he lay in his bed.
Franticly, she scrambled to get the OBJECT OF ABHORENCE:
her husband's 9 shot .22 caliber revolver.

She grabbed it up and killed one of the criminals.
The other fled, after she shot him too.
Altho it is possible that the criminals might have allowed Mrs. Gonzales'
children to live (if they did not care that the children'd complain to the police
and testify against them in court) Mrs. G was not willing to confide the lives
of her children to the discretion of the men who just shot both of their parents.

We need to understand that this attack was STOPPED by the presence of
an UNLOCKED gun in the home. Without it, the murders of the parents
and children probably would have contined until all the children were dead.
That gun was the INSTRUMENT OF LIFE for the Gonzales family.

After hospitalization, the Gonzaleses recovered from their wounds.
She became a public speaker in support of the right to keep and bear arms,
and takes her .38 Taurus revolver everywhere with her

(I'm sure I'll get flogged for this)

I don't have an argument against gun use for protection or hunting. To me, that just makes a very good point, though there are many that will disagree.

But I also come from a different type of family.......so I can't quite comprehend people disliking guns so badly. But I can accept their points of view as we are each entitled to our opinion...lol

See, I was raised up in a household where guns were an everyday part of life. There was pistol always in the living room, there was various rifles and shotguns laden throughout the house. Not to count, us kids (4 of us) had guns underneath our own beds where we kept them, because they belonged to us.

We were taught from a very early age how to handle each one of them.

And I was also raised up with a Law Enforcement Officer for a father, who hunted, and taught us how to hunt.

Weekend were spent shooting guns, birds......skeet......targets. He even went as far as to teach us to reload. Of course we only reloaded the shotgun shells.....but we each had a part in it.

And my house is like that........alot of people in here would have a shittin' coniption if they saw what my kids owned...and that I allowed them to have them.....lol We don't buy toys for birthdays, we buy guns and ammo.

See.....I also see it as an investment.........LOL

WOW!

Who whouda thought?
