Mom Runs Burglars Off with Gun (http://www.myfoxhouston.com/dpp/news/local/120208-mom-runs-burglars-off-with-gun - broken link)

HOUSTON - A couple of burglars chose the wrong woman to pick on.
They came sneaking into her house, and she sent them running out. Perhaps they didn't count on the woman fighting back, but that's just what she did.
Another legally armed citizen protects their home... I love it.
"I started calling 911. I called five times. They kept hanging up on me," the 10-year-old said.
"Every time, they (911 dispatchers) said we'll transfer you, then he would get disconnected because they were transferring him to our precinct," the mom said.
With her 10-year-old son in the closet frantically calling 911, mom found a burglar standing on her fireplace, stealing her flat screen TV.
"So I put the gun up and I'm going to shoot him. His back is to me and I realized I can't shoot a man in the back," she said.
She was obviously much more considerate of him than he was of her. A second burglar appeared out of the game room yelling she had a gun. The gun went off.
"It was very horrifying when she shot. It was very scary because I didn't know if she shot the gun or if the robbers shot the gun," the 10-year-old said.
Turns out it was his mom who fired. The bullet went through a candle and it's holder on the wall.
The burglars bolted from the house. After about 25 minutes of trying to call 911, deputies arrived to investigate a crime that this community is not used to seeing.
So how's that liberal mantra go again? Oh yeah, you don't need a gun, the cops will protect ya.
Good for the mother, I'm happy to see that no innocent victims of the two thugs were hurt. It's a shame the robbers got away to continue their crime spree though.

Hmmmmm, my Liberal mantra goes, shot em till you run out of rounds then load another clip. So much for your "thought".
Good for the mother, next time she should follow this Liberals advice.

Glad to hear it! I hesitated to put "liberal" there, there are a fair number that are on the right side on the gun rights issue. My appologies for lumping you with the less intelligent ones.

When seconds count the police are only minutes away.
I do not know why a liberal/republican or some politician would want to see a woman raped and strangled with her own pantyhose vs standing over the dead body of her would be attacker with a smoking pistol is beyond comprehension.
