As the burglar came upstairs , the homeowner grabbed a pistol from his nightstand. He fired three times at the intruder, hitting him once in the leg.......
I am so glad that this man was able to defend himself however, this is an important lesson on getting some training and learn how to shoot.
Three rounds one hit to the leg is sub standard in my book for some guy coming up your stairs is about as best as standing on the square range the target is moving toward you, to me is like shooting and someone else is bringing the target in. At best perp should have been still there when the police arrived in need of some medical attention or dead.
I had a student who came to me after a shooting she had been in a car jacking. She got of five rounds from her snub nose .38 and just nicked his left ear he took her weapon and she got a whipping to go along with it. She is good to go now everyone thinks just because they have a gun the bad guys are going to run. What if they don't?
