Those ladies up in Gwinnett don't mess around.

Quote:
Just minutes into a home invasion, a Gwinnett home owner dashed out of her room, fired several shots at armed intruders and killed one of them, video released Thursday showed.

Surveillance footage released by the Gwinnett County Police Department shows the intruders busting through the door and rummaging the house in the Sept. 16 incident.

Not long after they’d searched the home, the owner comes out her room and fires several shots at the armed suspects before two of them escape.

A third intruder, Antonio Leeks, 28, of Atlanta, was shot and killed in the home invasion.

What a badass.

3500 Spring Dr, this is in that small section of Gwinnett County that has an Atlanta address, off Winters Chapel right near the DeKalb border.

So similar to STP, is it Atlanta?

It's not in any other city or municipality, and the address says Atlanta, so, yes. It's in unincorporated Atlanta.

I saw this a few weeks ago as well as the video and was surprised there wasn't more coverage on it.
In California they are aggressively pushing gun laws and If Hillary wins the US will follow suit. One of the things they were pushing was not allowing firearms to have more than one round capacity. If this woman only had one round I think she would have been toast.

Nope, this never actually happened. Guns never save lives

Well, I mean, someone lost his life here, which wouldn't have happened if she didn't come out guns blazing.

Of course, I don't blame her at all. And they might have harmed or killed her if she hadn't been a total badass.

But still, the presence of guns in this situation did not save lives. Technically speaking.

What would have happened if in her wild shoot out, one of her bullets struck an innocent bystander?

Don't innocent bystanders have a responsibility to get out of the way when a GGWG is forced to open fire?
