Yet Another Happy Ending

[Ken]

With a bit of time at the range, it could have ended better, but we can still chalk another one up for the good guys.

Glad the lady came out okay and ran off the thugs. Too bad she did not hit them. I saw the second report by the teeeveee station and the reporter said the Detroit Police Chief would be commenting later as to whether or not the lady did the right thing by defending herself and child.

Don't know about Detroit, but in most cities, the political lackey chiefs of police always say people should not use guns to defend themselves from vicious criminals but "just call 9-1-1." Uh huh.

"The homeowner warned the teens she was armed before they entered the house," Detroit Police Chief James Craig said.

“She advised the suspects she was armed with a gun, but they indicated they didn’t believe her,” Craig said.

“She fired shots to protect her children. None of the shots took effect."

“I believe she did the right thing,” said Craig, who has repeatedly said he thinks legally armed citizens can deter crime. “It sends a message.”

Damn good police chief if you ask me.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that public hangings just might reduce the number of crimes we are experiencing. It's certain it would reduce the number of criminals.

That looked like a well-used Hi-Point carbine that mom was using. She put it to good use.

Bravo Mom! I am a little sad that she didn't kill all 3 of them!

like I always say, a gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone

Thanks, Ken. Glad that Detroit C.O.P. is a good one, not a "politically correct," "You don't need guns: just call the police," administrators.

Glad it turned out OK.

"You don't need guns: just call the police"

You know the old saying....until I can carry a cop in my holster I'll have to fill it with a weapon.

That's what I was thinking. 3 body bags would have been a better ending!

I'm just glad a mom and her babies live to see another day and three thugs are off the street.

Dead is best, but innocents safe and sound while bad guys are locked up is good in my book.

What do you want to bet they'll be out and back on the street in the not too distant future?

And those are just the type of thugs who then, as the cowards they are, seek revenge.

Hope that lady has taken a few shooting lessons by then.

I guess you missed the part that said "Dead is best", didn't you?

Nope, didn't miss it at all, but unfortunately, that "result" was not the case. Therefore, my post about how yellow cowards such as those maggots are well known to seek revenge.

What I'm thinking, she would have saved the taxpayers a whole lot of money.
