Pistol Packin' Mama Kills Man Trying to Rob Her Son: Police(PA)
nbcphiladelphia.com ^ | 28 December, 2011 | Teresa Masterson



A Philadelphia man was shot dead Tuesday night after he made the mistake of trying to rob a man who had a pistol packin’ mama nearby, police say.

A 23-year-old man was in the stairwell of his East Oak Lane apartment building with his girlfriend at about 9 p.m. when a 19-year-old man walked up to them, pistol-whipped the man and shot him in the leg while trying to rob him, according to police.

The victim’s 46-year-old mother heard the commotion from her upstairs apartment, grabbed her legally registered gun, went into the stairwell and shot the suspect, police say.

The 19-year-old robbery suspect died at the scene with one gunshot wound to the chest, according to authorities.

The 23-year-old man was taken to Einstein Medical Center where he was in stable condition Tuesday night.

“Upon police arrival, [the woman] gave police her weapon and she told us she was intervening in a robbery and she was protecting her son,” Philadelphia Chief Inspector Scott Small tells NBC Philadelphia.

The 46-year-old mother has not been arrested, but she is being interviewed, police say.

My new AR-15 I just built last week ...way too much fun to shoot to put in words.

Built this as a Christmas present for myself.

Also picked up a Para 1911 2 weeks ago as well.

What is that on the front?


I see the Eo Tech siite, the mag pul magazine, the front handrail, etc.

You should add a fore grip.   They really help.   I have one on mine and at 50 yards on iron sites - its bang bang bang bang every time no matter the target.

I see the Eo Tech siite, the mag pul magazine, the front handrail, etc. 

Eo Tech 552 sight ...retail $600 ...paid $300 (notice it has the front and back covers $60 option)
Mag Pul P mag 30 round $15 each (have 10)
Mag Pul Stock, buffer & spring ($50)
Delaware Arms lower receiver ($65)
Stainless steel lower parts kit ($60)
Completed upper ($500)

The front is just a "suppressed look" completed upper. I just like the look, but it's heavy as shit.

It's my first AR build, I bought a completed upper with a chrome moly 1:9 twist barrel.

My second AR build will be ground up with way better parts.

I'll either add a fore grip or that angled grip low profile one (don't know the name)

I forgot to add it's 5.56

I put about 500 rounds through it the day after I built it and had 1 malfunction (double feed) because the p mag springs aren't stretched out yet.

I slept maybe 2 hours the night before the range hahaha!

More guns, less crime.

Hahhahahahhahaha oh brother

In NYS we have to have a fixed stock on an AR.    I am looking at Eo Tech site but to be honest - at 100 I am pretty good on iron sights w only the changed out handrail and fore grip.  

I am building a Remi 700 SPS for distance shooting.  

If TSHTF - I have my AR, AK, etc as well as a .308 deer rifle for distance.   If it gets within 100 yards, i have hand guns, etc.

I've shot plenty of iron sight rifles and they're easy to shoot, but for the AR I like the quick look EO tech with red dot. I'm going to add a magnifier for upcoming coyote and hog hunts.

I don't do much long distance shooting...100 yards is good enough for me.

Now I'm at the point where I have my basic weapons: AR-15, 1911 .45, 12 gauge Remington 870

I'm just going to get 1,000 and more rounds for each gun on reserve & I'll be good.

Good post.   All I want at this point is a good 1911 and i should be good to go.

The recoil on that saiga must be a bitch.

Hand guns within a 100 yards? hand guns are good enough until you can get to your rifle , hand guns are back ups , the rifle is what you always wanna use

Forget iron sites like the pistol they are used for back-ups if your optic goes down , for getting sights on a target as fast as possible nothing beats a red dot or halo , you can get a cheap one for $120 bucks like Primary arms T1 micro Aimpoint clone

I have a .308 rifle for 100 +.   I have an AK and an AR for 100 yards in.  Have a few .22 rifles sited in for rapid fire.   I have a few shot guns for 50 - 25 yards, and glocks for close in.   

Plenty of ammo as well.

Personally - not sure if owning a rifle is even worth it. Where I live, work, and study (Detroit) there really is no point of having a rifle. A gun that I can carry with me is much more useful.

True but in a SHTF situation the rifle is what you should be using. In a home defense situation a rifle is what you should be using.

TSHTF - I'm grabbing my mossberg 500 pistol grip cruiser, glock 26 w few mags, and my AK47 w at least 5 30 rounders.
