+1  What would this BG have done to this woman if she hadn't protected herself? Thank God she did.

I agree. She was calm and reassuring..... Not sure what the state laws are there, but I think it will be invaluable to the home owner that the 911 operator clearly gave her the go ahead to "Defend her property" -- property being the key word there. She essentially 100% closed any and all argument against this being a justifiable shooting.

County 13 is advising that you can defend your property if you need to.

"I cant keep this gun and keep on the phone darling, it's a big shotgun, it will break my arm. As soon as you tell me they're here im taking the safety, uh.. Im putting the safety back on this sucker."

A lesson in here.    A "BIG" gun isn't always the optimum choice.   Guessing this was a full sized, long barreled 12gauge, she would have been much better off with a 20gauge and with a shorter barrel, or a Judge.   She knew that she couldn't maneuver that big gun in a small room.  As the movie quote said, you have to know your limitations.

Having enough "hands" is important.  It's a reason for tactical lights.   Also for knowing how to use the "speaker phone" option (if you have it) on your phone.   It's another scenario to think and practice through.

very chilling  and something no one should have ever have to go though   especially in your own home
