A few comments:
#1 Good for her. Sorry she killed someone, but glad she is here to be sorry.
#2 Fascinating how they KNEW what would happen. That's either horrible reporting, Barnie Fife copping, or both.
#3 She is lucky the .22 did the job. I NEVER recommend that for personal defense. She could have put 8 rounds in him and just pissed him off!
#4 I think there doesn't need to be any investigation. He clearly was holding her up with a deadly weapon - the end. Funds for any therapy she needs/wants come out of the desceased's eastate.

****in A. Good for her, though I'm surprised she was able to take down a dude that big with a 22. That was pure luck.

How many times have you taken .22L rounds?

Re: .22lr Pistol Saves Woman's Life
Who has the energy to rape at 6am? I'm surprised a .22 took down that kind of freak.
Re: .22lr Pistol Saves Woman's Life
I have to agree with that. Unless they know something about his rap sheet that they are not saying. Which may very well be the case. In which case - horrendous editing of the news article.
Re: .22lr Pistol Saves Woman's Life
Also mattt - the media in this country reports every 'gun crime' on the front page. They tend to completely downplay/ignore/page 15 every time a gun prevents a crime or saves a life.

I'm sportin' wood most mornings around that time...
Re: .22lr Pistol Saves Woman's Life
On purpose or by accident?
Re: .22lr Pistol Saves Woman's Life
Sporting wood is one thing. But all that cardio...
Re: .22lr Pistol Saves Woman's Life
a .22 for self defence is EXTREAMALY foolhardy. I woudn't even try it. A knife or anything would be a better more prudent option.
she got lucky, or else, she did in some poor pathetic POS that was barely any threat more likely..

Re: .22lr Pistol Saves Woman's Life
Dudes, none of can figure out why she had a .22 instead something bigger? I would suggest cost and accessibility. Pawn gun, cheapest they had. My Bryco was 99$, from a gun show.

Re: .22lr Pistol Saves Woman's Life
I don't know why people think a .22LR isn't a real bullet. All you have to do is hit the head or vitals, and it's lights out. It's not a BB gun.
Point blank in the chest probably took out his heart and/or lung. Since she dropped him like a sack of potatoes, I'm sure she hit him right on target.
Good for her. Any gun is better than no gun.

I'll take you out and shoot a rack of ribs in the bones and watch the little .22 pellet bounce right off.
I agree it CAN work. But it also has an extremely small margin for error. 12g, on the other hand, has a large margin for error x9 .32 cal....
I'm sure i can put you down with a cheap pen. I'd rather have a 9mm.
Re: .22lr Pistol Saves Woman's Life
Becasue, I think..I THINK, mind you, that your .22 is going to be extemely ineffective , in theory, against an armed moving maurader, UNKLES and UNTILL it hits a vital poijnt on the body...and in a real life threatening situation, youre not going to want something to sting.. or maybe break and arm, jawbone, puncture an organ or an extremity, and leave your target standing, with a weapon in his han, and extremely mad at you.
A littel chiefs special .38 wont sting!Its waht I have . If it hits the perp, it'll knock the assialant down. Its a punch, a heaveyweght punch,. not a hornet sting.
The assailant will forget everything and anything when hit with a 32/.38 in most places that a .22 might not matter and only his pain will be present in his mind...and thats pretty much no matter where the bullet strikes.

Re: .22lr Pistol Saves Woman's Life
The article doesnt really explain why they claim he was going to rape seems plausible that he was just robbing the place still not a good thing but being all cheery for a civilian killing someone is kinda odd to me. That said I live in a country where its hard to get a gun and the need seems alot less then other countries (you dont really hear about a lot of people getting robbed at knife or gun point, although stabbings definitely occur). Still good she has not been raped or harmed significantly.

Re: .22lr Pistol Saves Woman's Life
I've always figured most people getting shot with a .22 Long Rifle round are going to think they're dying. While that may or may not be true, it's going to get a person's attention in the vast majority of cases. I'm not going to volunteer to take one in a randomly chosen body part.
Re: .22lr Pistol Saves Woman's Life
Other than the poor reporting/police theory/etc...the story gives me a warm and fuzzy, good for her.
