I was speaking in generals. I guess I could have said it leveled the playing field some.

Though here in Atlanta an 86year old grandma managed to pop an Atlanta PD in the arm with a 44 before 3 of them were able to shoot her.

Thats when one guy got the wounded guy and dragged him out to their car and drove off. I personally know the kid, he's a good, chill, laid back kid. I'm sure his instinct to protect his little sister and his home just kicked in and he did what he had to do. BTW, he's goin to law enforcement high school and wants to be in the SWAT.

If the kid wants to be in SWAT, he better learn how to shoot someone in center mass with less than 10 rounds.

The fact he fired ten rounds with an AR-15 and those guys aren't all dead, is sad.

Ever fired a gun in a kill-or-be-killed situation? 3 hits for 10 shots is pretty average, even for a trained shooter.

That kid had access to the rifle and knew how to operate it. I'm sure dad has taken him shooting a time or two.

I know, man. Just trying to be funny. I imagine he didn't have a shit ton of time to act, aim, etc. He was probably just pointing the gun toward the guy and pulling the trigger. The kid probably never even put the gun up to his shoulder inside the close quarters of the home. Those AR-15's barely even kick at all when firing one round at a time, so no real need to throw it up to the shoulder and take aim at center mass in such close quarters.

Unless you are an 80 year old Army vet. One shot One Kill.

I think we should have a seperate sub-forum for people using guns/weapons in self defense becuase they make me feel warm and cozy. I would feel so much better if I woke up to another story of some theif/rapist/etc getting killed or shot.

That is a great story.

Even better because it is in Chicago.
