Suspect Allegedly Undresses in 12-Year-Old’s Bedroom, Gets Shot Six Times
2019-04-18
[BREITBART] A suspect who allegedly broke into a 12-year-old’s bedroom in Louisville, Kentucky, was confronted by the homeowner then shot six times.

WDRB reports the 12-year-old got under her blankets and texted her mother to let her know the suspect was allegedly in her room.

Her mother, Tina Burton, said, "She hid under the cover, turned her light down, turned her volume down on her phone to text me. When she peeked under the cover to see where he was at, she got up and bravely ran away. She went to the back room. And I think that was really brave and smart of her.

The suspect allegedly walked to the kitchen in his underwear, where he was confronted by Burton’s boyfriend, Ali Bracey. There was a physical altercation with Burton finally retrieving a gun and handing it to Bracey, who shot the suspect repeatedly.

#13   I don’t know that the skill would be needed for my case, Besoeker. Back in my young archery days I was very adept at missing the broadside of the barn.

#10  Granted shotgun is effective, but damn, think of all the spackling afterward

#9  For the delight of my eyes, my darling wife, I think a simple point and shoot weapon would be best. You know one of those old John Wayne style sawed off hand cannons loaded with bird shot and wood screws...I did take her to a pistol range and she is a natural, both eyes open, two hand grip, emptied the mag on a Glock 40 S&W all in the black with a large number into the groin. AND she put five in the head.

I don't think I have any worries...she likes the Glock, I am a Colt kinda guy.

#8  I tell my wife that my 7.62 Nato carbine is fine for home defense. Our walls are brick, so are the neighbors. I'm fairly confident of the JSP's ability two drop someone hit in the chest twice.

#7  .410 Ball & Chain, or Bolo - 2 .357 balls connected by a 22 gauge wire. Distance and accuracy may vary but I bet house distances are fine.

#6  My old standby for home and travel is a S&W 638. The neighbor keeps a .410 pump by the door. I think it hold at least 3 shells, maybe 4. Probably good enough to keep things in order.

#5  The Taurus 'Public Defender' is a handy little .410 revolver that a lady friend of ours has. She keeps it loaded with 000 or buckshot I believe. Seems like a good option and would put an intruder down fairly quickly without worrying about putting a hole through your neighbor's house.

You can still get .410 slugs I believe, too. Those might travel a bit farther.

#3  Stopper? 20mm and up, but recoil is a bear. Maybe a 10 gauge with bird shot, center of mass.

#2  The old which caliber is best argument. From my perspective whichever one you are proficient with is the right one.

#1  Homeowner needs a 'show stopper' firearm. One shot and drop. I'm sure the readers here can provide suitable recommendations.
