Just received a obscure News Story from a friend of mine regarding a Burglary attempt and the resulting 2 deaths of the Intruders.
Apparently, an 11 year old girl was at home, alone, while Dad ran up to the corner store for a bit. Two Illegal Hispanics broke into the home just after they witnessed the Father leave.
The Daughter heard the break in while upstairs playing. She ran to her father's gun safe and removed the Mossberg 500 Competition Shotgun and loaded it.
It is relevant to point out that this young girl happened to be two year running Clay Pigeon Shooting Champion having secured her first championship when she was just 9.
Raphael Resindez, 23 charged up the stairs and turned into the hall to find said Shotgun toting Clay Champion in a tight one-knee aiming tuck and took a full measure of shot to his lower stomach and pelvis, killing him instantly.
She stood up, cocked and ran to the top of the stairs where Enrico Garza, 26 was just hitting the first couple of steps. She hit him in the right chest and shoulder. He made it to the street before he bleed to death and died.
The girl and her family was NOT sued for killing the intruders in their home.
After responding to the young girl's post-encounter 911 emergency call, the police discovered that Resindez was carrying a .45 Semi-auto hand gun and that he had taken that gun from a victim that he stabbed to death in the chest at another recent break in. A fitting end to some bad guys, I should say.
Two important lessons to be learned here....
1 - Don't shoot to wound, shoot to kill. These men would have shown NO mercy for this young girl and killing here would likely have been the LEAST they would have done. Given the chance for these two violent criminals to heal from a wounding and plead their case in front of a liberal judge, they likely would be back on the street today and another victim would be stabbed to death, shot or worse.
There's also the added benefit of you and I not having to pay for their food, room and board for whatever time they do find themselves behind bars.
2 - An 11 year old girl, who was properly trained and familiar with firearm use and safety, thought clearly enough and had the skills to defend herself and take down two obviously physically superior adversaries.
What is interesting is that this is an "obscure" bit of news. Not in any way carried or reported in the main stream media. The only gun stories we hear from them is negative stories about the worse possible scenarios.
I would love to read some of your positive gun stories like these. I think people need to remember what the 2nd Amendment is all about so that they, like this 11 year old girl, can say... the Constitution saved my life.
