The concern in Donnie Herman's voice was clear as day. So was his stress. With two telephones to his ear, he listened to his wife, Melinda, as she fled into an attic of their Loganville home. With her: Her two 9-year-old children and a loaded .38 revolver.
In the house: An intruder with a crowbar.On another line was the 911 operator Donnie Herman had called for help. Herman's words to his wife, as he sat helplessly, an hour away from the home, were recorded. "Stay in the attic," he instructed her, calmly. "He's in the bedroom," she told him. He repeated the words to the 911 operator. "Shh. Relax," Herman said, trying to calm his wife. Then he instructed her to do what was fast becoming a realistic possibility. "Melinda -- if he opens up the door, you shoot him! You understand? "What happened next has made the Hermans the new faces of the right to bear arms.Melinda Herman fired a six-shot revolver at the intruder, hitting him five times, in his torso and in his face. Surprisingly, he managed to flee.
Gun rights groups are all over this case. The right to bare arms in my opinion is one of our most important amendments. It justifies why we started the country. With our own arms we took back a country that was taken from us. Protection is the same. If someone were to come in your home, would you want to take action or just sit by as someone takes all the stuff you have worked for, or even possibly take your life? With that being said there is no arguing that we need stricter gun policies. But who is to say that a responsible law abiding american citizen should not be able to bare arms for protection?http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/10/us/home-invasion-gun-rights/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
