http://atlantablackstar.com/2013/01/06/atlanta-mother-shoots-intruder-five-times-in-self-defense/reading the comments to the linked story leads me to believe that american'ts think they live in a hollywood movie...
a man was shot 5 times, a mother and her kids were terrorized... there is nothing good in this story... the questions should be about what's wrong in american't... why do people feel the need to glorify guns to protect themselves from criminals and why people are driven to commit crime

Ron it was probably a 38 spec. The media does not know the pproper nomenclature. I think this mom ought to be poster woman for why dianne feinstein is out of touch.

The 2nd Amendment is why we're reading about a Mother who protected her babies and not another traggic story of abuse, rape and death.........jus sayin........

The lesson here is always be ready to protect yourself and time to rethink the caliber you have to do so.

I bet the SOB got free medical attention! Just remember what mother did, HEAD SHOTSif you have a.38 He is damn lucky it was a.38 and not.38 Special or.357. Would not need medical attention. A.38 has not stopping power in the body.

Actually Ronald, a .38 has plenty of stopping power with today's ammunition. We don't know what kind of ammo she was using. Also, I would suggest center mass shots instead of trying to hit someone in the head. Unless of course you're so proficient with your handguns that you could shoot hair off a gnat's behind. What I'm saying is, when your blood is pumping and your adrenaline is pumping sometimes aiming is NOT your first thought, aim for center mass. It's a larger target. Good job citizen, you protected yourself and your children!

Have to be with so much armor floating around. You have your own choice at the time of your situation. I was refering to a home intrusion where distance is short. I always trained center mass but today? Equally comfortable with both. Thanks for the input. Like you said, what ammo was in the revolver? To hit 5 times and not much damage? He still drove away.

All about the type of weapon...Idiot Americans...Was it just luck that she managed to hit the guy in the face and neck FIVE times without killing him? Not many "lucky" African Americans. What kind of training did she have? I'll bet she didn't have a CCL...but if she had a "more than 10 round clip...she might have finished the job. Duh....She's an unlucky white person in my opinion...probably a waitress.
