" The intruder had forced his way into the three-story residence on Henderson Ridge Drive with a crowbar, authorities said. He allegedly rummaged through the home, eventually working his way up to the attic office.
“He opens the closet door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a .38 revolver,” said Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman, who relayed the woman’s narrative to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He asked that her name be withheld.
The woman fired six bullets, five of which hit Paul Ali Slater in the face and neck area, Chapman said. But Slater was still conscious.
YOU GO GIRL!!! Wonder how many lives were saved that day? I'll tell you....dozens! Why? Because had he killed those 3 that day and got away with it, he would have gone on and did more....instead, he's freddy kruger faced and gonna be in jail for a while.
I'm sure when he gets out, he may think hard about changing his career field The lady shoulda kilt his ass...can't believe a .38 in the face (or 5 of them) didn't end that sucker
They always say people don't go down when shot like the movies but dang.. 5 to the face and neck? They must have been soft lead low grain practice ammo? I have shot some 38 special out of my 357 and it had some umph to it.
At that range anything but a .22 would simply ventilate him, and he wouldn't have taken any of the shock energy that kills.
Amazing she could hit him five times and miss everything vital.
I wonder how many years until he's paroled again.

I think, may be wrong, he will only be charged with burglary? If so, he'll be out soon....hopefully he'll be someone elses target practice next time, but with a more lethal round
Then we won't have to fund his legal expenses and hotel stay at county jails
I read that story to my wife last night b/c I thought is was awesome but I have to wonder if she was using a .380 and they are reporting it incorrectly as a .38, I just can't see taking 5 to the face at close range from a .38 with ANY type of bullet and then being able to leave the house.

Wonder if the chic that put 5 holes in that guy went to a safe and unlocked it, so she could retrieve the .38?
Would you agree that it is ok to keep a weapon in a "safe" location, I.e. not a gun safe, but an area in the house that is dedicated as a fall back and defend location?

I also showed that to my wife, because she kept saying that guns are bad.. blah blah blah.. and I asked her, what would you have done knowing the guns are there and there's a possibility that the intruder would kill our children & then possibly rape/kill you also...
now she's starting to understand why i have guns and now she wants to go and do some practice with them

I instructed my wife that if someone were to break in, I'd want her & my son (and daughter next year) to lock the MB door, and run to the MB Bathroom, lock that door. If somehow they get to you, then just unload...
I'm sure that this is a conversation all men should have with their wives and children...
to be prepared and have some sort of measure put in place for the worst case scenario....

^^^exactly. Which is why there is a 12 gauge ready for my wife to use in her "safe" location, in case she doesn't have time to go get something else. The kids don't have access to it, nor would they know wtf to do with it.
And my wife is a republican country girl, she knows exactly what would need to be done if she is ever put in that position. I'm not gonna try to play monday morning qb on the .38 story, but dude wouldn't have walked outta my house if my wife did target practice on him
