My mother was the victim of a home invasion years ago. Home alone in the Catskill mountains at night, the 2 perpetrators knew my father was in Europe for 3 weeks. They threw a picnic table through the door and windows to get in. Her large shepherd mix cowered behind her. She didn't have much cash. They took the car keys out of her purse and stole her car, later totaling it in another state. She was terrified and was never the same since.
I never liked guns. I had shot rifles but never a pistol until I came to TV. I joined the club, took the courses and part of the training was at the range, and got to try different handguns. I was aiming for center mass (chest) at the target but, turned out, my aim was a little off (high). Hey, it was my first time. The instructor pulled the target back, looked at it, (all head shots,) looked at my hubby and says "I would not **** her off if I was you." Anyway, I am now glad I have my Ruger Security 6, 38 special/357 in case of a home invasion. If a perp attacks me/threatens my life, I WILL stop them.
