>>This trigger-happy thinking you have is whats wrong with people having guns today. Plus this "well its all his fault" attitude is for trigger happy rednecks with no morals. The idea of shooting someone should only come up if you've exhausted everything else. I think lying it wait to kill someone like this doesn't cut it with me. You warn the guy you gotta gun and he breaks in anyway - well there ya go.

>>Wow, your comments here are reallllllly wacko.

>>1) Because she owns a gun for self defense, she's "trigger happy"??
>>
>>2) As for your second sentence, ummm, it WAS his fault
>>
>>3) Again with the "trigger happy" comments. You labeled a citizen who was well within her rights to defend herself & her kids a "trigger happy redneck with no morals." whaaa???
>>
>>4) Think the criminal who broke in would have wait until she "exhausted everything else"??
>>
>>5) The woman took her kids to the 3rd floor and hid in closet. How in the world do you get "lying in wait to kill someone" out of that????
>>
>>6) Maybe you don't know this, so I'll clue you in. You said "You warn the guy you gotta gun and he breaks in anyway..." - ummm, you have the right to defend you family & property.

>ONCE AGAIN - the point I'm TRYING to make here is that all this COULD of been avoided if the shooter handled it differently. At the end of the day the guy had no gun and if he'd been made aware the shooter had one then the shooter wouldn't of had to shoot. Why is this so difficult to grasp?

The only one not getting it is you. The point is that this guy broke into that house with ill intents, and just like a rabid dog, he needed to be put down. There was no "handling it differently" because she handled him exactly as he needed to be handled. Anything less and she'd be dead right now. You really think that if she had yelled "I have a gun" that that would have deterred him? A career criminal isn't going to stop no matter what.
