Mother and daughter shoot a robber armed with a shotgun in their store.

I don't really care about guns or if people want to own them, but this is an instance where our 2nd amendment can shine.

Good for them but could use some range time.

They hit him like 4 times and he stil lived, too bad.

They deserve praise as this was not this guys first robbery.

Already a thread on this. Gonna copy my post there about using a small caliber gun for self defense. Ammo selection becomes much more important

On the topic of this guy getting shot and not immediately dropping like in the movies-

If you’re gonna use a smaller caliber handgun, these women appear to have .380s or 38 specials, the Ammo you have because crucially more important. You NEED something that will expand and impart more energy to the target. Don’t just load up the same fmj target loads you use at the range because it’s the cheapest at Fleet Farm when your gun is for personal defense. That’ll just punch a nice clean hole and not do significant tissue damage needing if the round doesn’t go to the heart or lungs.

This link her is utterly amazing with tests done on so, so many brands and types of handgun defense ammunition. Thing I love about it, is they used compact handguns to test rather than full sized. There’s Ammo out there that will expand beautifully from a full sized 5” barrel, but the amount of velocity lost using a 3 or 3.5” barrel like most carry with result in that Ammo not performing as designed.

I used this info to settle on Federal 124gt HST for my 9mm. I previously had a box of hydrashock before. If you’re anything smaller than a 9, please use this site or do other research on what to load up with if the gun is going to be on your person for defense. Look for 12-18” penetration and the absolute most consistent expansion for your caliber

Yep, I don't think anyone argues against the fact that there are legitimate negative liberty-oriented interests in being armed.

Good thing that mother and daughter weren't snowflakes.

also within arms distance, don't extend your arms so they can grab at the gun, tuck your arm into your chest like the top of a bend over row.

Too bad be didn't die. Head shot? Liver shot?

 

[MadSquabbles500]

Them seemed like some low stopping power bullets though. How many up close shots did the perp take? Must have been 22 or something.

 

[ultramanhyata]

Was it really wise to fire on a fleeing armed robber? Things could have ended a fuck ton worse for that mom and daughter.

Also curious as to why a guy with a shotgun would try and wrestle the pistol out of the mom's hand - and then try to shoot the daughter with that gun? Is it possible his shotgun was empty and he was just using it to frighten his victims?

If anyone has any more info on this incident please share it.

Guy might have been tweaking on some serious amphetamines.

They should give some of that to the soldiers. Make them more resilient on the field.

The military is no stranger to prescribed amphetamines. That's supposedly how Elvis became an addict.

And statistically, 22 people were shot by a friend, family member, or themselves for that one instance of a someone being shot in self defense.

And statistically, 22 people were shot by a friend, family member, or themselves for that one instance of a someone being shot in self defense.

The best numbers available to us suggest that there were about 2 million defensive uses of guns in the US annually in the mid nineties.

Seems like most people using guns defensively aren't very aggressive.
