Nothing better looking than a pretty gun with a beautiful girl attached to it. ;-)

Glad they came out OK and no one but the bad guy got killed.

That's what Mayor Bloomberg would have done. Someone should send him this story.
Nope! Bloomberg would have pulled out his AK-47, set the selector to full auto, and splattered the BG all over the place.

Yeah. People who have actually been the victim of a crime sometimes tend to be highly motivated not to be a victim again.
In New York it was common wisdom that a liberal was a conservative who hadn't been mugged yet. :lol:

Score one for the .38! The caliber that is not suited for a self defense. It did the job in this case, quite well at that.

It made that home invader dude obsolete.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

What I want to know is why the fiance was letting his 25 yo tiny little beauty queen answer the door at 3am while he slept. :nono:
