I am glad to see this girl wasn't arrested. Im sure if she was in california the intruder would be given rights, she would be in jail and the baby would be taken away by the govt.

too bad the other one got away, he was probably a useless scumbag too.

I am pretty sure that Oklahoma has a Castle Law like Texas. In that event once the moron breaks in she does not have to retreat, give warning or anything, she can shoot to protect both herself and property. She did exactly what she should have done.

I wish MN was like that. If someone broke into my house where both my little kids and my wife were sleeping I would shoot first and ask questions later. Especially in my town. I live out in the country and when break in's happen out here they aren't by accident.

I would do the same, even in CA. Like the old saying goes," I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6."

New York and California have some pretty screwed up laws when it concerns firearms, self defense, liability, etc. Thank God there are still places in this country with some common sense.

That's why I moved out of Cali. Too many selfish idiots run that state. NC has castle doctrine.

This place is lost to normal people. The kooks and crazies run the asylum out here.

I cant stand it the loons around here.

This story sounds about as crystal clear as a self defense situation can be. I feel bad for her that she had to go through this though.

Where was the sheriff - 21 minutes?

Who know, maybe their procedures require them to have a certain amount of units respond to situations involving potentially armed suspects?

As much as I hate to defend it CA has a castle law but you better have done everything right. Don't get me wrong I grew up in Cali and Hate the way it's run but love all the stuff to do. I got about 40 days left in this state can't wait to move out.

LagunaH1 · Jan 5, 2012

I am *not* any form of expert one this (far, far from it) but it does seem like California does have a castle law, you just have to make sure it's not a family member who is attacking you and that they knew they were entering illegally...?

3Hummers · Jan 5, 2012

I guess kicking down the door should be the giveaway they weren't invited in. They won't like the welcome they get at my place.

Sircode13 · Jan 5, 2012

In California there isn't a castle doctrine so to speak. You have to retreat and basically be put into the position of no hope of escape. Then you have to yell out I have a gun and I'm going to shoot your stupid arse. Then and only then can you put the intruder six feet under. You still have to hope that you get a fair District Attorney and that one bullet doesn't miss it's intended target or you gots sum splainin' to do. That's why I'm a Life and Benefactor member of the NRA and a member of the USCCA. So I have the use of their Lawyers when I do have to pull the trigger.

Agreed but some of these rural counties are pretty big and the deputies are spread pretty thin.

That's probably true. I was talking to someone one day who was from south dakota and she was telling me how her uncle was one of the only cops in town...response must be slow if there's probably less then 5 cops in town

Here in CA Kern and Riverside counties are huge as are some of the West Texas counties. Response times can be pretty long in these situations.

deserth3 · Jan 6, 2012

I live in a city. The one time I needed one. I was told it would be a 20 minute wait.

LagunaH1 · Jan 6, 2012

The one time I had to call 911 they arrived *real* quick

DJinCO · Jan 6, 2012

Our county sheriff actually announced that the response could be hours so he recommended personal protection and issues CCW permits to all who legally qualify. My favorite saying is

"When the difference between life and death is measured in seconds, the police are only minutes away."

Remember, an armed society is a polite society.
