I love reading news articles like that. Too bad the other guy lived, if you ask me.

Don't get it, the article says the hubby did the shooting....she was the reason he got the gun... Whatever, a good outcome.

There was one like this a few years ago in, of all places, San Francisco. The girl pulled the pistol out of the guys waistband as he was tying up the boyfriend...scratch one a-hole.

Teach your kids how to guns, id the safety, etc. They may never own a gun, but if they get their hands on one in circumstances like these, it would best if they could use it.

While I was going to school at A&M (class of '82) there was a story on one of the Houston stations.

A woman in her 80's had her house broken into while she was inside. She ran away from the intruder into her bedroom and locked the door. He followed and broke through the door. She was standing there with a .45 auto. She shot him eight times, changed clips, and shot him eight more times.

Yesterdays Fort Worth Star-Telegram had his obituary and his family made him out to be an angel. Todays paper had a big article that made him look like the victim. His family said he was on drugs, it wasn't his fault. Poor thing, now he's just worm dirt, where he should be.
