Larry,
I am happy that family in Georgia is safe. We do not know where she had her weapon stored. It may have been locked up.
She had plenty of time to access it.[/QOUTE]
But, how many people might not??? As I've mentioned ad nauseam, there's nothing more useless in a home invasion situation than a locked up gun...unless it's an
unloaded locked up gun. I'm betting her firearm
was neither.
Reports are the crook rang the doorbell several times before going back to his truck to get a crowbar. He was looking for an empty house. If he had seen or heard that anyone was inside, he may have just left without incident.
...but, once inside and finding the place
wasn't empty, what might he - an x-con - have done to
'witnesses'? Crowbars have been used to kill more than once.
If you are looking to murder a family, you probably do not ring the doorbell.
See above. Although he
may not have had the intent to murder anyone going in, there's no way to know what he'd have done after discovering there were people inside.
You said you were, "happy that the family in Georgia is safe". I believe you. Yet your side advocates, in effect,
disarming law abiding people to one degree or another who might be in the exact same situation some day. Your side demands all guns be
locked up 24/7...'can hold only "X" number of rounds...'wants ammo & firearms locked up in
separate locations...'wants to limit
the type of firearm law abiding people may own...'the
number of firearms one can own, etc., etc., etc. How does
any of that help to ensure that the next mom who's home alone with her kids is going to have the
same ability to defend herself and her kids, sir? And just as important
, how will
any of that prevent crooks or loons from doing what they do???
Last question: What part of "NO LAW INFRINGING" is in need of clarification?
