    Bad Guy Lost. Guess calling the cops wasn't enough.

    A Georgia mother shot an ex-convict six times to protect her and her children after he apparently forced his way into the family’s home.

    The mom heard knocks on her front door Friday and assumed it was just a solicitor, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

    She told her 9-year-old twins not to answer the door and, when the visitor began repeatedly ringing the doorbell, she called her husband at his job and he told her to gather the children and hide.


    “He opens the closet door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a .38 revolver.”
    - Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman


    According to the Journal-Constitution, the father then dialed 911 and his wife, who works from a home office, hid with the children in a crawlspace.

    By that time, according to the paper, the intruder had used a crowbar to forcibly enter the home, and made his way to the home office.

    “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 fired six bullets, five of which hit Paul Ali Slater in the face and neck area, Chapman said. But Slater, who has arrests dating to 2008 and was released from jail in August, was still conscious.

    “The guy’s face down, crying,” the sheriff said. The woman told him to stay down or she’d shoot again.

    While down, the woman and her children ran to a neighbor’s house, and the injured intruder made it out of the home and into his car, the paper reported.

    Authorities found Slater a short time later bleeding profusely in a neighbor’s driveway.

    “I’m dying. Help me,” he told them, according to Chapman.

    Slater was transported to Gwinnett Medical Center and is expected to survive, the sheriff said.

    You asked, "so, correct me, but are you then saying the law abiding get to keep their automatic assault weapons?"

    I answered.

    jesus h criminy. fine, I'll reword if you are going to argue semantics.

    so, then are you saying that law abiding should be allowed guns in their homes other than handguns and single shot rifles?

    Couple things.

    Someone breaks into our home, I'm not gonna take the time to figure out what he's there for. I don't have a gun, but I'd grab whatever's handy and do my best to take him down. Price paid for pulling shit like that.

    It's not your home, asshole.

    Anyway...all these gun threads, I wasn't sure where to put this...so here seems as good a place as any.

    LA Unified School District now has police patrolling/visiting ALL of the schools in our district - all grade levels. And while on the one hand it seems like a wonderful thing - community coming together, make the kids feel all's well, etc. - it strikes me misguided and wasteful.

    Taking cops away from locations/situations that really need them, having some "media relations" folks acting as the patrols, police visiting several schools throughout the course of the day...I don't know how this contributes to safety. I mean, someone wants to shoot shit up, they're not gonna be deterred by the possibility of a cop somewhere on the campus, nor by checkpoints like having to show ID to enter the premises.

    Me, I can't get over the "paranoia". Not sure why, mankind is such an honest, peace loving people. I am sure if/when an "event" happens and my lights are on and belly full, nobody will try to steal from me if I am unarmed. I mean, how long does someone go without food and water before they start to feel a bit antsy? Must be a long time eh?

    Cool - so the 'right to bear arms' is preparing one's self for the zombie apocalypse, or is it for when the government all of a sudden turns on it's citizens taking everything, even all of their food (including crops, seeds, etc.) and drink (including water :? ). Or are these the same thing? Guess the threat is just as 'real' whether one or the other... 8-)

    well then we're back to square one. why the hell anyone needs anything more than a handgun or single shot rifle in their home is beyond me.

    I think I have to be done with this for now at least. This discussion pretty much leads nowhere.

    Good luck, Barrack.

    Need a shotgun too, at least.

    most shooters in these mass shootings are "law abiding"....

    until the day they commit the massacre that is...

    that is why these combat ready weapons have no purpose in the hands of your ordinary citizen.

    Senator Dianne Feinstein,
     
    I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government's right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma'am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.
     
    I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.
    I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.
     
    I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.
     
    We, the people, deserve better than you.
     
    Respectfully Submitted,

    First off... Thanx for your service to our country... much appreciated.
    ...
    That said... if you are legally supposed to register your weapon... and you don't register your weapon... isn't that a crime? And if it is a crime, doesn't that make you a criminal, NOT a Responsible Gun Owner?
    Just askin'.

    yeah minority report is exactly what this is... :roll:

    i stated a fact. people are law abiding until they commit the crime. what about my statement is it that you are not understanding? it is pretty self explanatory when anyone can legally get a gun, be a legal, law abiding responsible gun owner, and all of that changes the minute they pull the trigger and waste a few innocent people.
