I love stories like this! The cops don't want to do anything so WE have to do it. My Mossberg 500 is ready and if I ever have to use it I will. Your Governor Kathy Hochul says you have a duty to retreat if an armed intruder invades your domicile & you must surrender & vacate your home upon the advance of any illegal entry !! If you use that Mossburg, you'll be spending time in the crowbar hotel !!!

Hard too believe a jury would convict someone for not running away, but it has happened.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

If look up the story it is a fabrication according to google.
Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

# 6 Bird Shot is perfect for indoor use not exactly , yes at 4 feet your good but at 20 feet it gets very marginal I asked a raccoon actually a few , I could not get any of them to wear the 4 layers of denim for proper testing but since #4 bird shot didn't have the desire effect either I figured it wasn't worth getting bit. could it be fatal , sure , is it fatal before it can run more and I pump another round in it and it runs some more and I get to the buckshot round I loaded , no you want to move up to #4buck to really have the the intended effect on your standard trash panda so if your trash panda is closer to 200 than 20 pounds I admit I am extrapolating the data a bit , but it goes back to anything powerful enough to work well also goes through a couple walls.

Hopefully none of us ever has to put theory into practice.

I feel sorry for most of you that your big worry is how to stop and intruder in your house and what kind of shot is best to use. I’ve never thought about it and don’t have to worry about it. I feel sorry for those who live in a country that doesn't allow its citizens to own and bear arms against bad guys. I pray to God that it never happens to me, but, if it does I am prepared for it.

Hopefully all those Muslims that Trudeau is importing into your country won't go off on a non-believer killing spree & end up breaking into your house sometime soon. Better to be prepared. w

I see stories like this all the time in the uscca conceal and carry magazines a while back there was one about a old lady that had never shot a gun and was getting robbed she said she needed her inhaler and went under her bed grabbed a .22 lr darenger and shot him perfectly in the head twice
The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

The NRA runs a column in both their magazines titled Armed Citizen for decades now. Each month there are 6-8 current stories about gun owners defending themselves and others from bad guys.
Eh...wot?
