Mother stops home invasion with "Assault Rifle"

[W54/XM-388]

CCTV captures moment Detroit mother opens fire on home invaders with rifle | Mail Online

Some interesting points in the article such as:

"'I let them know I had a gun once they were in the house and they challenged me and said "no you don't have a gun" so that's when I shot off the first round."
"one dropped a handgun which he picked up before attempting to get back into the house, only to be scared off by more shots."

Apparently it took quite a few shots before they gave up and left.

That is why Saturday Night Special laws are flawed. You have to use what you have. Some people can't afford expensive firearms.

Huh I always thought you were supposed to point firearms at yourself.

Does her drywall have hair in it?

It might just be old enough to have horsehair in the base coat of plaster up against wood lath. That's old-timey construction.

Shouldn't it be an anti-assault rifle in this case? I'm very glad she was able to defend her family so well.

She was probably aiming rite at him. But having what you can afford is better than having nothing

Too busy using the proceeds of armed robbery to buy crack.

didnt know a 9mm carbine constituted an assault rifle but always glad to see someone made safer by evil guns.
