No hero tag?

It's a good thing the police were there to protect her. This is a perfect example of why people don't need firearms.


/what?

I love this part:

Police said the woman will most likely not face any charges. The suspect's identity has not been released.

Good for her, but she really deserves a HERO tag.

Remove all Republicans: Why is everyone so quick to judge? Nobody knows anything about the guy who just died. He could have been a very good person and it was all just a misunderstanding. Because of her actions, his friends and family will never see him again and there is no chance for him to get his life back together.

OR, he could have killed her. He was breaking into her house.

Someone broke into my house and killed my dogs a few years back. I'm ok with killing anyone that breaks into another persons home.

HAHHAHAHAHA
you are why I hate telling people that I vote for democrates
restraining order = stay the fark out
they typically dont give them out "just cause you want one"

any asshat who has an order taken out against him and the breaks it as 2am, well they all deserve death

there is no exception
never will be
ever

2am is the hour of the .45

WTF
why did they break in to kill your dogs?
or did they kill your dogs while stealing your stuff?
or stealing the stuff your stole from them?

either way, break into my house, eat a bullet

Broke in to steal stuff (as far as I know....we weren't home), and stabbed the dogs. Never caught the assholes either. The police wouldn't even finger print. Needless to say, I have a different perspective on home defense and the right to bear arms than most.

/the police are there to enforce the law, not to protect you. If you want protection, it's up to you.

floor9 [TotalFark] 2008-09-28 08:58:44 PM  
Good for her. I wonder what she was firing?

I carry a Bersa .380 around in public and have a Hi-Point .40 for home / car / hiking. I know a .380 will deliver a lethal shot, but a .40 has enough energy behind it that an adrenaline-fueled tunnel-visioned shot to the elbow or shoulder or leg will be enough to knock them back a little bit. The crackheads and meth users who make up the majority of my neighborhood probably wouldn't notice a shot by the .380 until they were dead, but the .40 will do the job.

Come to think of it, I might go get some +P+ on the .40 just to see how they handle. Never fired 'em.

A restraining order won't stop anyone if they really want to hurt you. Thats why I laugh at so many women and some men who try to use it as an intimidation technique or a threat. "I'll get a restraining order!" Big farking deal, if I wanted to come after you that piece of paper wouldn't stop me.

Restraining Orders are a waste of time in almost all cases. Read "A Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker, and get an appreciation for the way the system doesn't work.

Maybe, but it allows would allow the restrainer to do much more to the restrainee without fear of legal issues. Plus it would ensure that the restrainee would get a harsher sentence.

Here's why restraining orders don't work:

Restraining order: 500 feet
Effective range of M16 with iron sights: 550 meters

There is no +p or +p+ available for the .40 I
am aware of. (the lighter the bullet--the higher the velocity)

.40 is a modern load and all manufacturers load that cartridge to optimal ballistics.

The only cartridges that bear the "+P" moniker are very old rounds like 9mm,.38 SPL and .45ACP

There is a great deal of myths and fallacy out there as to the real meaning of +p in relation to ballistics.

Hmmm... I remember you flaming me for looking for the whole story and being reasonable. You don't get it both ways.

Anyone breaking into a house should expect that dying ia a possible outcome. The home is the center of safety for a family, and the correct assumption is that the perpetrator means ill.

This is exactly what our 2nd Amendment is for.

Being a liberal Democrat, I'm often annoyed when I hear conservatives say we want to take their guns away. I favor background checks and waiting periods, but beyond that I think any American adult who passes the background check ought to have the right to own a gun.

 
mediaho 2008-09-28 09:06:47 PM  
Restraining orders aren't completely useless but they're certainly ineffective as protection. They are useful for legal recourse if the subject of the order breaks it. However, if that subject is looking to harm you, it won't do dick and a firearm is your best protection.

i've seen quite a few couples that have gotten restraining orders and then gotten back together.

There is, actually, and my Hi-Point .40SW is +P+ rated: Georgia Arms +P+ .40SW

Now, I haven't been able to find any +P .380. I've read a lot about how JHP .380 is not really beneficial because the bullet doesn't hit the target with enough force to really mushroom out the head. But it would seem that a +P JHP would do the trick, and I seem to recall the Bersa Tunder .380 being +P rated.

That is entirely possible. I can't tell you how many couples I've seen do exactly this. "But he *LOVES* me! You just don't understand what we have!" etc. But absent further information, I still say she did the right thing.

And if this is the case, then let this be a lesson in using PFAs as a relationship playtoy.
