It wasn't meant to scare anyone. It was meant to set you straight. I didn't take to your ignorant comment very well.

The two Perps that escaped will most likely get into an incident with Law enforcement in the future and then can be defended by BLM members.

It's funny how they only call black people race baiters, but ignore the headline of the post or race-baiting white supremacists.

I want to know what kind of gun is suitable for situation like this.
9mm is fine if you use expanding defense rounds. You want the rounds to maximize tissue and bone damage while minimizing wall penetration. You don't want a full metal jacket that goes through everything.

For home defense, I'd go with a bigger round like .45 ACP. You can buy a heavy framed gun that will absorb most of the recoil from the larger round. My wife was fine shooting my full sized .45. With a larger round, you won't have to worry about shot placement as much. Again, use defense rounds.

A shotgun is always good too, but you'll need to figure out what you're comfortable with. If you are a smaller lady, 12 gauge buck might be rough. Supposedly buckshot can be bad at penetration, so a shotgun is probably bad for apartments.

Why don't you take your racists talk elsewhere? You are off topic here.

Whose deflecting ? I have no problem with a person defending themselves. Just wondering why the thread mentions the race of the victim and the shooter. Because a person is killed when breaking into a home is no issue that I object to. They had it coming. But is the point of the thread to say that a black criminal being killed is a justification for cops killing unarmed black men with their hands up or being unarmed. I guess it makes sense to some but not to others. The two are like comparing apples to condoms. Only people who that makes sense to are well, " The unthinking and uncaring ".

Sorry if I misinterpreted these, they sure came across OT. Generally, I don't care for putting the race of victims or criminals in the title but that happens all day here and both sides do it, so no need to derail in every post unless you do the same in the threads about evil whites. Otherwise, that makes you a bit of a hypocrite. I think this thread has garnered a bit of attention because these truly were bad guys breaking into the home, as anyone who goes into a home at 4 am with guns drawn deserves whatever comes their way. This was a rare case of score one for the good guy (girl).

What thread here speaks of evil whites ? I haven't seen one and if I did, I would certainly decry that. But just because others might be doing it. I have no problem with bad guys getting killed committing a crime. However, what is that you are stating about others doing something justifying how you characterized the incident. I don't get your logic. I take it your trying to be fair. Reflect on it the choice to racialize the incident. It made no sense if your only trying to stress the value of home defense. It really doesn't make the point you claim you want to make.
