She ought to be arrested

Using a gun on a poor unsuspecting man how dare she!

***
LOGANVILLE, Ga. — A Georgia mother hid her two 9-year-old twins and shot an intruder, Paul Ali Slater, several times during a home invasion on Friday, according to multiple media reports.
The Loganville mother said she didn’t initially answer when someone knocked on her door around 1 p.m. Friday. When the visitor began repeatedly ringing the doorbell, she called her husband at work, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
He then dialed 911 and his 37-year-old wife gathered their 9-year-old twins and hid them in a crawlspace inside the home.
According to the report, the intruder then forced his way into the home and started “rummaging” through the family’s belongings.
When the suspect went into the closet where the family was hiding ,the woman fired six bullets at the suspect, five of which hit alleged suspect Paul Ali Slater in the face and neck area.
“He opens the closet door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a .38 revolver,” Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The woman fled to a neighbor’s home with her children. The woman and her two children were not injured.

(Note* The perp was a parolee, had a rap sheet and was just doing what he did best, besides catching bullets with his teeth which btw he really needs to practice on.)

Good for her!

Quote of the day...“When you got five bullets in you, it makes you kind of disoriented,”

Oh boy....Look for the NRA Gun nuts to jump up and down over this story...The woman had a legally registered revolver...Which was more than sufficient ...No assault weapon required...Which will soon be banned anyways...Case closed

Kinda makes a good point in favor of private gun ownership.

 

[Saladin2]

Most Americans feel the right to own a gun is not a problem...Loading up with assault weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition is .....Big difference...The NRA gun nuts don't seem to get it

Were you always an [Unwelcome language removed] or has this come about since you discovered the internet?

Well good for her.. she used a six-shooter to protect her kids and home. The way it should be, which of course has NOTHING to do with extended clips and assault rifles.

 

[Saladin2]

Look for the NRA gun nuts to make this woman some kind of "celebrity"....Trying to exploit her as an example of how good guns can be....If she had a shred of decency she will tell all of them to go away and leave her family alone

What this guy was doing was determining if anyone was home by ringing the doorbell. Since she made no noise or did anything to make him aware that someone was home he then assumed he could enter and rob. If she would have let him know someone was home he would have left as he was looking for empty homes. She really created a worse situation for herself by hiding and make like no one was home. She obviously isn't well trained in firearms going by emptying her gun. There is a reason people are 17 times more likely to harm themselves rather protect themselves with a gun.

What's with the name calling in response to a normal post?

 

[Saladin2]

No worries....I expect these NRA types to try and bully and bluster....The facts may reveal this woman used excessive force....For all we know the guy never entered the home...But look for Fox/Rush to hail her as some kind of "vigilante hero"....Regardless of the facts

Actually makes a good case for assault rifles.
5 times in the face with a revolver?
Runs away?
One round from a .223 and the perp wouldnt be able to sue this woman.
Now he can.
And will?
And probably win.

 

[Bernard_Fokke]

He is, what's your point? I just call them like I see them rather than subtle innuendo.

That's pure unadulterated bullshit. She should not have to anwser the door to her house if she does not feel the need to. The one who escalated the shooting was the dumbass who thinking no one was at home broke in. He was the one who is at fault for the shooting, he had no legal right to enter her home without her permission. We still have the right of privacy in this country.

ORR
