Why I support the Second Amendment
Allahpundit and Ace both posted on this:
Cops: Cape Girardeau woman kills man who returned to rape her second time
She was home alone again Friday about 2:15 a.m. when Preyer broke the same basement window. The victim was awake watching television, when Preyer switched off the electricity to her house.She tried to call 911, but couldn’t because the power was off. She got a shotgun and waited as the man began banging on the basement door. She fired when Preyer came crashing through the door. When Preyer collapsed, the woman escaped and went to a neighbor’s home, where she called police. Officers, who arrived within a minute, found a bleeding Preyer stumbling away from the house. He was taken to St. Francis Medical Center, where he died several hours later.
As Allahpundit asks,
With 11 felonies to his record and enough criminal savvy to cut the power in the home, how many more rapes did this woman prevent?
And in rape cases, by the time you call the cops, it’s too late.

I came around a while ago to the idea that all women should have firearms training and get a Concealed Carry permit. There are just too many predators out there.
