[QUOTE="45 shooter, post: 1610091, member: 8722"] [url]http://www.newson6.com/story/13396948/da-says-midwest-city-mother-justified-in-shooting-would-be-burglars?redirected=true[/url] This is the story of a home invasion in which a young mother used a gun to defend her children. I know this story, because I worked with the father of the family at that time. I do have to agree with the above mentioned sentiments that there are people who just won't be convinced until it happens to them. Many years ago while I was in college and living with my mother, I had a revolver that I kept at the house. My mother was not happy with it, she mentioned several times that she did not like the idea of the gun in the house, but she never went so far as to ask me to get rid of it or forbid me having it in the house. Then, came the mugging. My mother was walking home from work one dark night when someone knocked her to the pavement and stole her purse. She was not badly injured, but afterwards she became terrified that the muggers now had her house keys and address. She feared that they would use the keys to enter the house and rob us. That night I slept on the couch by the front door with my .357 at hand. Nothing happened, and the next day we had the locks changed. After that incident, my mother never again mentioned that she didn't like guns in the house. I think she realized that it was a necessary evil in our current lives. [/QUOTE]
