I am sure this story happened everyday, but never gets media attention.

Good for her. The Obama-voter criminal had multiple arrests/convictions but was still free to victimize hard-working, tax-paying honest citizens.

Look for the Obama ´Justice´ Department to prosecute her...

Can´t believe he survived, still a happy ending.

Yah! She should have laid back and taken whatever this guy wanted to give her....and her kids!

FTA: ´´My wife’s a hero,´´ the woman’s husband, Donnie Herman, told Channel 2 Action News in a brief statement.

And prior to that in the article there was this FTA: ´´He opens the closet door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a .38 revolver,´´ said Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman, who relayed the woman’s narrative to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He asked that her name be withheld.

Hopefully the woman was photographed and fingerprinted now that the proper authorities know she has a gun. s/. What if there had been multiple perps? She´d have been out of bullets. And libs wonder why anyone needs high-capacity magazines.

Well, good for her.

His kin or his ilk will come for revenge.

But a shotgun, young lady.

12 gauge pump.

Nothing says ´don´t move and say your prayers´ like a round being pumped.

Nothing.

And the perp won´t be eligible for parole ...

... not in this life.

Her address will be put in print, one of those awful people who has a gun.

Thankful she did have. Gun.

Reason why you A) have bigger bullets and B) more bullets. I suggest a Glock 9mm handgun next time as it holds 10 to start with and you can get more with bigger magazines.

FTA: The woman fired six bullets, five of which hit Paul Ali Slater in the face and neck area, Chapman said. But Slater was still conscious.

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

Slater, unaware that she had emptied her chamber -snip-

The injured burglar eventually made it out of the home and into his car, driving away before deputies arrived on the scene.

If 0bama had a son, he would look like the home invader.

"Sure could use/
A little good news/
Today" -- Anne Murray, a long time ago.


"When you´ve got five bullets in you, it´s kinda disorienting," says the Sheriff.

Ah-yep.

Evil dies hard.

The NRA monthly magazine used to have a column with reports like this. I believe it was named "The Armed Citizen"

Maybe another poster will provide an update.

Sometimes there is good news.

If Obama had his way she and her children would have been brutalized and murdered.

Darn, I should have bought a bigger gun.

#13, they still do. A highlight of every issue.

Five bullets at point blank range? Time to buy hollow point bullets and maybe an upgrade to a .357 magnum will do the trick next time.

Yes the National Rifleman Magazine which I have been receiving for 47 years DOES have a section titled ´the Armed Citizen´, it´s where I first turn to when I get my Magazine...I enjoy reading about women,senior and young teen citizens who foil the bad guys bent on doing them harm and get usually what they deserve. This lady was lucky, the evil doer was not put down and could have ended the story a different way. The lady needs to know where the OTHER cartridges are and how to reload with some haste. She had every right to finish him off and with a little more practice she could hit her target where most effective. Good for her. She refused to allow herself and her children to be a statistic.THAT´S WHY WE NEED GUNS!!!

When you have PTA moms with concealed carry working in the cafeteria and reading the in the library and selling snow cones in neighborhood elementary schools, the evil that struck CT would go somewhere else.

A very brave woman. Another story you´ll never see in the MSM.

Actually, the perp looks like Frank Marshall Davis (supposedly Obama´s real father). So maybe he isn´t son of Obama but more likely, brother of Obama.

And looked what we have behind door #3! Not looking for trouble. it is where you find it.

SaWEEEEEEEEEET!!! I´m so proud of her! That´s what I call gun control, baby - hit him with 5 of her 6 shots. Awesomeness.

If 0bama had a son he would look just like this. Seriously though, what is this guy´s head made of?

I think this is terrible. She only hit him 5 times. Mom, get to the firing range and practice hitting the bulls eye. Also, get a bigger gun.

Tucker Ga? if so very expensive - and white - neighborhood. Usually these things are black-on-black.

Sounds like the lady had a good grouping. Too bad she didn´t hit him between the eyes. Now we get to house Slater, this human piece of trash, and pay for his medical bills.

it was Loganville - also an expensive area - and well away from central Atlanta. Sounds like we need to keep criminals from driving cars.

Brava.

Any statements from Piers Morgan or Senatrix Feinstein, she of the taxpayer-funded-armed-guards? No?

Apparently, she didn´t have hollow points.

See why people need 30 rounds of ammo ?

.38spl works fine. You just have to feed it properly. My carry load is 110gr plus P. Kicks like a .357 magnum!

Tucker and Loganville both are close to iffy areas. The metro area, save the north and northwest suburbs, runs the gamut, really. Gwinnett County, where this is, used to be pretty nice, and there are still some nice areas. But they didn´t plan well (planning/zoning or law enforcement), so now they have an overabundance of low-end housing, a complete mishmash of ethnicities, and something like 500 gangs. Not a place I want to live.

Might I suggest .357, hollow point 9mm, .45 acp, or 00 for the 12ga?

For home defense..a Mossberg 500 series, pistol grip and birdshot, good for 20 to 30ft. Big handgun ammo will not only penetrate the walls of your home, but also the neighbors.

Very sorry to hear he survived.

What? The police weren´t there in time protect her? You mean these real life situations don´t work out like the lefties claim? No result like the alarm company ads where a disembodied voice says, "Identify yourself!" and the criminal gets a nervous look and runs away?

That´s why a firearm allows a woman and her children to have a fighting chance to protect themselves. Without that pistol, the cops would have shown up only in time to bag up her and her kids.

BTW, you shotgun fanboys: a shottie takes two hands to operate and doesn´t work easily in tight spaces - like a closet. You can´t carry a flashlight with it to determine the threat before pointing a loaded weapon. That´s why we chose a couple high-capacity handguns (Glock 19 and Sig P226) for our home defense plan.

Too bad that useless libtard newspaper in NY didn´t get around to publishing registered guns in GA. The burglar would have known then not to burglarize that house. The poster above is dead right about shotguns. The sound alone would deter anybody.

Another nonsensical shotgun claim. Do you really think a drugged out, cornered, or enraged criminal is going to simply run off after you rack a shell? Would you expect this panicked woman hiding in a closet with her children to disclose her hiding place, hoist a shottie, chamber a round, and hope the dude runs off?

That´s not our plan. As in this situation, a criminal will be feeling the bullets impacting his body by the time he sees or hears a firearm in my house. We won´t kill someone over our insured stuff, but if he meets up with one of us, it´s far past time for a warning.

Do you really expect - in a situation where you are dumping adrenalin into your body, - you and your spouse (and your kids) will have the presences of mind and coordination to rack a shotgun shell to try to scare someone off? It may work in the movies and the ads, but it´s not a sound self defense plan.

A 3” Judge loaded with 5 rounds of 410 triple-ought buck would have done a fine job here. He would not have gone anywhere with most of his head on the wall behind him. And aim need not be that good, just aim in the general area of his head.

A good .45 ASSAULT pistol with a HIGH CAPACITY magazine would have done the trick. Hide the kids and then meet him in the hall and empty the magazine. Immediately reload in case his brother Jumail is still lurking somewhere outside. From the picture I can be certain he voted Obama. That means his skull is about 3" thick surrounding a walnut sized brain. A .38 just does not have enough penetration for that. If there is no brother Jumail lurking outside empty that second magazine as well, just for effect. Go make a big pot of coffee because the police will be there in 20 minutes.

I needed a feel good story. Thanks OP.
We can debate calibers and loads and weapons all day and I often do. The important thing is she engaged her target, changed its behavior and stopped the attack.
Further destruction is just icing on the cake.

Glad they are okay.

I used to work in Loganville. Nice town in Walton County (not Gwinnett). The sheriff actually chuckled during his radio interview when he described finding teeth on the floor of the shooting scene.

And yes, hollow points for home defense. They´ll expand before they pass through the body, even in the larger calibers like .40 or .45.

“She protected her kids. She did what she was supposed to do.”

That´s all that really matters.

(1) Two to the body, one to the head.
(2) If that fails, repeat step (1) as necessary.

Any questions?

He was hit five times and still got to his car....this is why you need high capacity magazines!

#44 - My apologies. All that side of town runs together in my head. ;)

SMILE. WAIT FOR FLASH.
