Crime
Group of Thugs Target Seemingly Defenseless Woman — They Had No Idea She Had Been Frequenting the Gun Range
May. 24, 2013 5:30pm Jason Howerton
A group of thugs figured it would be easy to overpower one Kansas City woman. After all, her husband had just left to run an errand, leaving her all alone in the home.
They couldn’t have been more wrong.
The woman, later identified as Shirley Roberts, 52, immediately retrieved her gun after she heard someone jiggle the knob of the front door. She also witnessed two additional men heading to the back door.
Looking through the blinds, Roberts saw the men putting on gloves and preparing to force their way into her home. So she trained her firearm on the men and opened fire.
Kansas City Woman Shoots Would Be Home Intruders After Frequenting Gun Range

The criminals, scared silly, reportedly took off running. However, they also fired shots toward the house they attempted to break into.
Robert’s husband, Oscar Roberts, later said he and his wife have been going to the gun range to prepare for just that type of situation. “You’ve got to protect yourself,” he told KMBC-TV.
“I told her she’d done the right thing. We practiced that. She’s shook up, though. That’s the only thing about it, she’s very shook up,” Oscar added.
The practice at the shooting range seemingly paid off as police later arrested three men who went to the Research Medical Center, one of which was treated for a gunshot wound to the chest.
Police said the shooting seems to be justifiable self-defense.
“If you’re in fear for your life, most definitely we want you to protect yourself. We don’t want any harm to come to anyone,” Sgt. Marisa Barnes of the Kansas City Police Department told KMBC-TV.

No, it's "a datum" but it's "more data" (plural). It wouldn't be "more datum."Kristie wrote:Not data!

Re: Guns used for lawful self-defense Pt. 5
What retirement check? I don't even qualify for Social Security. I set my life up since I was 20 and figured out SS was a giant Ponzi scheme so that I never paid into SS, and so I'll not get any...nor was I enslaved to paying for someone else. My "retirement" is the income from my lifetime of work on the ranch and the proceeds of its sale. I've never taken a dime of government money before, but I'm going to start, because the government stole huge amounts from me, so everybody owes me a living from now on.

A telling comment.
The old emotional giveaway. If Seth does have his hand on one murder weapon, he wants another. He probably discusses the efficacy of blood gutters with other people fixated on methods of killing people.
In my line of work, knives are also a defensive weapon, just like guns.
While at the post office collecting your retirement check?

Re: Guns used for lawful self-defense Pt. 5
Dunno, since I'm not a terrorist. And what income? I have no income, nor will I ever have any income the government can tax. I'm reconfiguring my life to be a taker not a producer. I paid every dime of tax I've ever owed...and I probably shouldn't have. I probably should have taken a friend's advice and taken my sale cash and fled to Costa Rica or somewhere and stiffed the feds. But I didn't. So now, having paid much more in tax in one year than most people pay in a lifetime, I'm going to get some of it back by being an unemployed senior citizen who needs government assistance.

Does terrorist count as a line of work? , hope you are declaring your income on it or that would be tax evasion as well

Why should the visibility of such subjects be restricted just because you're too lazy or intellectually stunted to scroll past what you consider to be an unpleasant topic?
That's fucking censorship and you know it. Hypocrite.
