Guns Do Protect People

How many are prepared to repulse an attack of a intruder? Most of are not, however, in the following story, a Georgia mother protected herself and her kids by the use of a (gasp) gun. How dare someone protect themselves and their family?  

The popular leftist argument is that there are very few people who are protected by a gun but rather, they argue, you have a greater chance of being killed if there is a weapon in the house. The problem with their argument is that most repulsed attacks are not reported since no one died or was sent to the hospital. Instead, the knuckle dragger was scared off when a weapon was produced or a shot fired.  There is no statistical record of these type of actions.

We are strong believers in the Second Amendment and feel that it is under attack by the Administration. The Vice President told the Boston mayor, that the situation will be addressed by the end of January.  We doubt that any bill can be passed that would be approved by both houses and signed by the President in that short a time.  Therefore, we believe it will be done administratively. Obama will impose new fees on gun owners.

As we have written before, these fees will be onerous, outrageous fees that will make every law-abiding gun owner pause before paying them.  Some will not and those guns will be turned into local police agencies. This will not be good for the good guys.

Therefore, we need more stories about the real value of an armed populace and will continue to search for these articles and will post them as we get them. Should you see one that we have not, please forward it to us at tom.conservativemusings1@gmail.com

Thanks.

LOGANVILLE, Ga. — 

A woman hiding in her attic with children shot an intruder multiple times before fleeing to safety Friday.

The incident happened at a home on Henderson Ridge Lane in Loganville around 1 p.m. The woman was working in an upstairs office when she spotted a strange man outside a window, according to Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman. He said she took her 9-year-old twins to a crawlspace before the man broke in using a crowbar.

But the man eventually found the family.

"The perpetrator opens that door. Of course, at that time he's staring at her, her two children and a .38 revolver," Chapman told Channel 2’s Kerry Kavanaugh.

The woman then shot him five times, but he survived, Chapman said. He said the woman ran out of bullets but threatened to shoot the intruder if he moved.

"She's standing over him, and she realizes she's fired all six rounds. And the guy's telling her to quit shooting," Chapman said.

The woman ran to a neighbor's home with her children. The intruder attempted to flee in his car but crashed into a wooded area and collapsed in a nearby driveway, Chapman said.

Deputies arrested 32-year-old Atlanta resident Paul Slater in connection with the crime. Chapman said they found him on the ground saying, "Help me. I'm close to dying." Slater was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center for treatment.  Chapman said Slater was shot in the face and neck.

In February, Slater was arrested on simple battery charges, according to the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office. He has been arrested six other times in the county since 2008.

Kavanaugh was the first reporter at the scene as deputies investigated. The victim's husband told Kavanaugh he's proud of his wife. He was on the phone with her as the intruder broke in.

"My wife is a hero. She protected her kids. She did what she was supposed to do as responsible, prepared gun owner," Donnie Herman said.

He said he's thankful for his family's safety.

"Her life is saved, and her kids' life is saved, and that's all I'd like to say," Herman said.

Channel 2’s Amy Napier Viteri learned from Chapman late Friday night that slater has been placed on a ventilator and suffers from punctured lungs, a punctured liver and a punctured stomach.

He said if Slater survives the night, doctors will try to operate in the morning to repair the damage.

Chapman said Slater has four exit wounds.

Slater is currently being charged with burglary.
