Xavier Thoughts: Self Defense Shooting

Unfortunately, it probably will take something like this to get that person to rethink such idiotic behavior and get a job like the people he's likely spent his time ripping off.
Also, I was a bit dismayed at the statement that this incident was "the first time in her life she has fired a gun" or something like that. If a person has a firearm available to them for self defense it is of the utmost importance that he/she receive appropriate training and become at the very lest proficient, if not expert, with that weapon.
I am glad it all worked out; and I hope she goes out and learns about guns, now that one has, in all likelihood saved her bacon.; 5:33 PM
