Horrid! But realistically, did this woman have time to get her weapon from its storage place, load it and shoot the creep? How does this work? A Mom in her own home wearing nothing but a nightshirt just happens to have a loaded pistol on her person? With her three year old on the couch watching cartoons? I'm opposed to gun control, but martial arts would have been more useful.

Europe needs more blacks and other non-Europeans. Is it not evident?

I remember when neighbors watched out for alone another and called the police or one of the men in the neighborhood to investigate strangers lurking around. I can tell you that, had this been a neighbor of mine and I was home, the criminal wouldn't have ever left while breathing. There are only a very few things that make me angry enough to commit bodily harm. Violating the security of my neighborhood and assaulting a woman just happen to be two of them.

Good on you, JohnGrey!

I have male neighbors like you and they are truly a blessing, especially since I live alone. They watch out for me, they often check in on me, and they even shovel snow out of my driveway!

I dind't have a chance to add this to the video link above:
A mom shoots an intruder 5 times after he started working his way through her house, growing close to the attic where she had hidden her 9-year-old twins.

The Georgia mother heard knocks on her front door on Friday, assuming they were from someone trying to sell them something. She yelled down to her 9-year-old kids not to answer the door, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution noted, but the visitor was persistent. He kept ringing the doorbell, prompting the mom to call her husband at work. He told her to get the kids and hide.
The man used a crowbar to break in, and the mom heard him making it closer and closer to where she and the children were hidden in an upstairs closet.
"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. Chapman did not identify the woman or say exactly where the shooting took place.

With not other recourse, the mom shoots the intruder 5 times in the face and neck. Someone, he was still alive and crying on the floor. The mom tells him not to move, and the intruder obliged, Chapman recalled.

The man made it out of the home and tried to drive away, but was soon found in a neighbor's driveway, bleeding profusely.
"When you got five bullets in you, it makes you kind of disoriented," Chapman told the AJC.

Luckily for Slater, the gunshots were not believed to be life-threatening and he is expected to survive.

Slater was transported to Gwinnett Medical Center and is expected to survive, the sheriff said.
The mom who shoots the intruder 5 times is being called a hero by her husband, Donnie Herman, who said, "She protected her kids. She did what she was supposed to do."

I recommend carrying inside and outside. If you need a gun, you may not have time to get one. You also need to train to use the weapon in a self defense/combat role. Training also should include mindset. In such a situation, you need to react with extreme violence and surprise. Having a plan is also important.

Fortunately the guy was caught.
