Mother shoots intruder during Dripping Springs home invasion

The formula is simple really:

Is he in my house? Yes.
Does he belong in my house. No.

He is a threat. Bang.

Sorry! needs a little word smithing to shorten the response time.

Bang. Was a threat.

How stupid do you have to be to refuse to leave when confronted by an armed homeowner?

The problem with giving them the opportunity to leave is that they might return more prepared in an hour, day, or week, possibly with accomplices, and the homeowner would have to remain vigilant and have their home guarded when away. In other words, once someone invades a home they are an ongoing threat that must be stopped and captured.

should have aimed a little higher! Glad she successfully protected herself and her children.

I'm betting the weight of a .44 mag, probably shot DA, long trigger pull. Probably was aiming/pointing center mass or head.

Too bad he didn't bleed out. Now we have to pay his medical bills and house him for 15-20 years.

Bottom line though, she stopped the threat and protected herself and kids. Give the lady more ammo!!
