Wow that family is lucky. Would a police officer have taken that risk?
On the one hand I thought the dad is a badass.
The criminal who lived getting charged for second degree murder is weird too

Many women are competent shooters.
This is why I believe rational home owners should be allowed to keep firearms at home.
Sadly I live in a pathetic island called the UK. Criminals appear to have more rights in this country.
As refreshing as it may be to hear about a level headed individual with a respect for life that successfully used a gun to protect someone, it doesn't justify anything.U mad GAF?
?
So you just found the two whitest people you can imagine and plop it here in this thread?

The girls mother fired one shot but missed.

No it does not. The existence of responsible gun owners who use guns properly has never been in question, so finding one isn't worth anything.That's exactly what it does...

They could have just called the police.
It does.Shouldn't this work on the flip side too then?
It does.
Did you honestly think that gun control advocates thought that every single gun owner was some sort of reckless crazed redneck?
C'mon, Cranky..you hate generalizations as much the next guy.Have you participated in any of the previous gun threads here on GAF? lol
Justice
Nothing says justice like an armed home invasion where the victims avoided death by sheer luck.
Seriously, this whole thing is incredibly fucked up and people are acting all happy. WTF.
On the flip side there could have been 3 dead innocent people.
I try not to, I do read most of them though.Have you participated in any of the previous gun threads here on GAF? lol
Yeah it's a relief for those involved for sure. But dodging a bullet should not make one want to celebrate bullets.
I imagine there's not much you can do if someone has a knife to your daughters throat and no guns are involved, they can hurt her if you rush them with a weaponYay for gun crime, you get to use guns against guns, for justice! Imagine how boring it would've been if gun crime rates were lower and this incident didn't even happen.
Wow, one of the few Brits who think we actually need guns. You do realise we have one of the lowest intentional homicide rates in the world right?
It would be extremely unlikely for a criminal to have a gun, even a career criminal. They're pretty much only used in organised crime against rival gangs.
No one is celebrating anything. The family involved is about as repentant and humble as could possibly be given the situation. He didn't want to use the gun but he felt he absolutely had to shoot to save his daughter's life.

"What if you missed, dad?"
"We would have turned your old room into a home theater"
"..."
Talk about a traumatic situation and thankfully only the criminals were casualties. As for the larger topic of gun control and etc, I side with the option of having more control but it's still worthy to have the means to defend yourself when all systems fail like in these nightmare fuel scenarios. I sure as hell would never give up a firearm after what these people went through
Glad the dad had a steady hand. Mom missing must mess up the daughter more than dad. That must've been an awkward dinner conversation.
