I worked for a woman that had a concealed carry here in Arizona. Maybe one of the scariest, manic-depressive bull-dyke lesbians the world has ever known.

In other words, the person you'd most want carrying a loaded weapon in public.

Would that be...tire irony?

countdown to bad half-life reference...

I bet this guy doesn't break into many more homes.

/just a guess

justice as it should be.

shame its not like this in the uk.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Too bad she missed his crotch, so he couldn't breed.

When Mills tried to rob the woman, she pulled out a gun and shot Mills in the leg.

The only fault with this was that she was low and to the left.

This should have had the "Hero" tag.

Too bad it was a hand gun and not a shot gun.

Countdown to hippies saying she shouldn't have shot him until he actually killed someone in 5...4...3...2...

how is that ironic?

But Guns are bad and we have to take them away from citizens.

Shoot to wound: Her word against his.

Shoot to kill: Her word against nobody's.

Thank god some kid who got caught with a joint in the ash tray of his car was rotting in jail while this violent robber was roaming the streets. Gosh, we're all so smart.

Scotty, beam me up...

No comment needed here, I believe.

Actually, she should have shot him in the head and killed him. The reason being is that with him being dead, that's it, story over. With him just being wounded, what's to stop him from getting a lawyer and suing over injuries, and sadly, in this country, there would be countless lawyers willing to take the case, and probably a jury dumb enough to award him damages for getting hurt on her property, reguardless of the fact that he was there for the sole reason to rob her.

A word was used for its unintended meaning somewhere, apparently.

I didn't RTFA.

I wonder if the burglar will learn from this? Next time bring a gun...

I don't think it would take much to convince a jury that the house the man used a crowbar on to break and enter wasn't his. Not to mention that the house that she was defending is owned by her. So I think your arguement of "Her word against his" breaks down quite a bit.

Vosh

Seconded.

and boom goes the irony. great use, submitter.

/proud bsu student

You'd think that because the breaking into a house illegally he wouldn't be allowed to sue, but I promise you lawyers have already solicited the guy promising him he'll own the house when it's over.

My brother's taurus was smacked in the side by a dump truck about a month ago. he was hit so hard he bounced into oncoming traffic and hit a tow truck. Miraculously he walked away unharmed. a week later he got an envelope that contained the accident report, it was from a lawyer promising money for his injuries. The accident report that he sent us clearly states no one was injured. I'm sure if my brother took him up on the offer he would have been refered to a doctor who could diagnose some injuries. Ambulance chasing scumbag but i'm sure he makes good living.

call it the Legal System, you can't call it the justice system because it has nothing to do with justice.

insurance is paying off $7000 on the car, double what it was actually worth. His ex picked out the car but he kept it because he made the payments, but he always hated the car so He's happy

Lawyers aren't cheap, even for the "easy" cases.

Police said Richard Wayne Mills, 47, was shot in the leg by a woman he tried to rob. Minutes later, he was arrested on charges of aggravated assault, terroristic threats, robbery and other charges.

Okay, while this guy needs to have the book thrown at him... Terroristic Threats? Give me a friggin break.

Which sounds fine - except that homeowners DO get sued - and even if they win they're out a bunch of money - no free lawyers for THEM, and no money from the (not-rich) burgler to pay costs, either.

At least most places in the US they don't arrest the homeowner in this situation - I understand that's no longer the case in Great Britain.

Just remember guys, you have to shout "Ned, he's comin' right for us!!!" before you shoot.

I was drunk and confused and trying to escape when she shot me. There was no imminent threat to life. Throw self-defense out the window and prosecute for attempted murder.

Not to mention the civil suit for diminished quality of life (or whatever else they can make up these days).

"Boom goes the irony" probably refers to the gun itself, not actual irony.

Because there is no actual IRONY in the headline or the story.

"Amid the ensuing chaos, someone called 911 and the two men fled the residence."

Those are some manly men, way to defend the weaker sex!

Yepper, she was anticipating the recoil, more time at the range for her :)

Yeah, you can't say boo any more without someone claiming you're a terrorist.

Cue the Sean Connery "Isnt that like a burgler, brings a crowbar to a gun fight" picture.

What the fark does shooting someone breaking into your house and having a conceal-carry permit have to do with one another. i don't have a c-c permit, but as god as my witness, that doesn't stop me from wearing a holstered pistol under my frock while i make breakfast. it's my god given right as an american citizen.

Except that after breaking in the guy took a sword off the wall and used it to attempt to rob three people, all of whom can testify as victims. Only the dumbest or most corrupt jury imaginable would agree with the defense theory you are suggesting.

A couple months ago I heard an L.A. police officer say that gang members were 'street terrorists'.

Please... You cheapen the term 'terrorist' when you use it to refer to any person that can cause fear in one.

I'm watching the news, and like,
''Tupac Shakur was assassinated
''Biggie Smalls, assassinated.
Struck down by assassin's bullets.''

l'm like, ''No, they wasn't!''

Martin Luther King was assassinated. Malcolm X was assassinated. John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Them two attractive and successful African-Americans got shot. - Chris Rock

Obviously you either a: never read/watch the news, as injured felons suing (and winning) their would be victims is fairly common. Or b: have never consulted a peace officer on proper etiquette when defending your property. EVERY single officer I have ever discussed this with will advise you (unofficially, of course) to kill the perp.

I personally know of a case where a store owner wounded a would be robber. When the cops got there, they said they'd be back in 5 minutes, and that the perp needed to stop breathing before they came back, otherwise he'd be looking at assault charges...

I'm wondering too. I thought a c-c permit was for carrying a hand gun when you're in public. At home I can carry my 9mm Glock up my ass when ever I want. I can even shower with it.

Meh. I'm probably the closest you're gonna find to an actual hippie these days, and as long as she only shot to wound I don't see a problem.

"Detective Ron Foy said the woman, who police have not been able to locate since the shooting, had a permit to carry the weapon."

Soooooooooo, how do they know that she had a permit?

She should get the HERO tag!

Conceal carry means nothing in the home.

She had more balls the the two guys who ran.

Detective Ron Foy said the woman, who police have not been able to locate since the shooting, had a permit to carry the weapon.

Does anyone else find this odd? Did she just take off and hide somewhere after shooting the guy?

Personal injury bashing, you say? COunt me in.

ABout 10 years ago when I was a young resident, we had a trauma patient come in from a car crash. It was pretty normal for these people to be on "back boards" and wearing "Philadephia collars" (those pink collars you see people wearing after a neck injury)

I was getting ready to put the breathing tube in and had unfastened the front of the collar and all these business cards went everywhere. Somewhat at the scene of the accident (maybe even an EMT)had shoved this lawyers business cards under the guys collar.

To this day, I wish that I had complained to the bar or told the patient about it. It would have been great if the guy had sued the lawyer for hurting his neck after the car wreck, but I was tired and had a lot of work to do and when you're that covered up, it seemed like a pretty low priority thing at the time - Maybe those "Grey's Anatomy" residents have unlimited goof off time, but we didn't.

Okay, while this guy needs to have the book thrown at him... Terroristic Threats? Give me a friggin break.

The crime of "terroristic threats" is not related to "terrorism":

I know this isn't from the same state, but it's applicable anyways.

What a rookie.

Never bring a sword to a gunfight.

Hey there was that case when a robber fell through a skylight trying to break into a house. Broke his back, sued and won for a few mill because the homeowner didn't properly install a skylight to support the weight of someone on top of it trying to enter.
