Tell that to this young woman’s Family.... this happened yesterday BTW. I would not call this a good headline, but some apparently do.CM189191 said:
Who did you piss off on the south side? Nearly all of the gun violence there is targeted, it's not random. Also, the south side is a microcosm of Chicago-land. Makes for good headlines tho.mcgruff10 said:I ll gladly take my chances in Wyoming or Montana as compared to the south side of Chicago or Camden, nj.0 -

I wonder if he rushed out to buy a gun because of the Covid-19 pandemic or if he was just another "responsible" gun owner until he wasn't?

Interested in learning more about the officers who investigated the scene. The article mentions a revolver with three live rounds in it and two spent shell casings nearby. Revolvers do not eject spent cases, they have to be manually removed from the cylinder.
Either someone else was involved, the officers did a shit job investigating or........I don't even know what the hell.

You know what else could have been well played? Having a medium or large sized dog with a loud bark. Or how about not answering the door and as your hero goes to get his gun, the wife is on the phone calling the cops while telling the kids to go to their rooms? Maybe brandish the gun or announce you have one, stand back from the door and if they kick it in, shoot? Maybe opening the door to two unexpected masked strangers so your wife and kids can witness someone being shot wasn’t the best “well played.”lindamarie73 said:Well played sir!!

Do you “responsible” gun owners ever think about the “down range” consequences of gun ownership? You think those kids are going to fine in a few days, weeks, months, years?
Glad the homeowner was able to defend himself and his family and exercise his 2A rights but I question the celebration of someone being shot and killed in front of children.09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

It's not like the homeowner asked for his family to be targeted by the two assailants. One of them was actively pointing a gun at his family and threatening them in their own home. Can't say I would have done anything differently than the homeowner in that particular situation.Halifax2TheMax said:

Lots of ways things could have gone down. I'm glad this wasn't another home invasion that resulted in the death of innocents.
Tragic for sure that it happened, worse that children saw it happen. At least the children are still alive and still have both parents.If hope can grow from dirt like me, it can be done. - EV0 -
I wouldn’t have opened the door to two masked strangers that I wasn’t expecting. What’s the point of a doorbell camera if you’re not going to try and identify who it is and why they’re there?dudeman said:

Again, glad they’re “safe” but shooting someone doesn’t always have to be the only solution.09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

I'm interested to know what criteria is being used to label them as "school shootings". Particularly, two in Michigan in April. Schools have been closed since before April. The term "school shooting" conjures images of people being gunned down in classrooms and hallways but that clearly wasn't the case for the ones in April in Michigan. What are the stats derived from?CM189191 said:

Did someone target a house across the street from school in a drive by? Maybe someone down the block from a school was the victim of a home invasion or someone who lived next door to a school committed suicide with a gun.
All of those situations are tragic for sure, but I wouldn't say that any of them should be considered as "school shootings".If hope can grow from dirt like me, it can be done. - EV0
