I was blessed in a mysterious way
So a few months ago I decided to change some guns in the safe out for some different ones. So I sold some via that broker site. I got a text tonight from a young woman that had purchased a 590 from me in one of those transactions.
She related that she happened to be up late last night when she heard noises at her front door. As it happens she has 2 other single female room mates. Being suspicious of the 2 AM noises she grabbed the 590. 2armed men kicked in her front door. The sight of her with the 590 shouldered made them rethink their plan and they ran off into the night.
God works in mysterious ways, even via an internet broker.
I am feeling so blessed and grateful to have been even an unwitting part of that.
God bless to all.

It is useless for the Sheep to circulate petitions calling for universal vegetarianism while the Wolves hold a different opinion.

Excellent!

She should have pulled the trigger and opened up on them. Now they'll try to same thing with someone else. They'll learn their lesson when their dead.

Re: I was blessed in a mysterious way
I am glad she was able to thwart a home invasion. Having a weapon to defend herself as a result of your sale to her was serendipitous for certain. The decision to buy the 590 was a wise one, but there's another important decision needed, perhaps more so than the purchase of a firearm and that is whether you'll actually be willing to use it. Being confronted by two firearm wielding intruders and relying on them to run instead of shoot you is not what should have happened in my opinion. Action VS reaction would have most likely favored the two intruders I believe.

By handling it the way she did;
She doesn't get to deal with the emotional pain of having shot someone.
She doesn't get to deal with the potential legal issues of having shot someone.
God works in mysterious ways. You were both blessed.

OUTSTANDING! Good for her, and glad it all worked out well. Hopefully that's the end of it.sailor2000 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:38 pm So a few months ago I decided to change some guns in the safe out for some different ones.

Re: I was blessed in a mysterious way
TomV is spot on. It is nice to think about "taking out the garbage," but at least she did not have to go through all the issues involved with doing so. Hope her roommates will learn by example.
