Great survailance video.

[morfeeis]

Three scumbags and only a ten round magazine, had she fired all ten and had to try and reload this story could have gone very differently. See how scumbag number three gets his pistol and starts back in?

Hear that Cuomo!! you may not need ten rounds to kill a deer but you damn sure need more to defend your family....

Hats off to the leos for getting the bad guys off the street within hours....

[Sharp Shooter]

Too bad she missed.

Yes!

Imagine she had a double barrel shotgun. The punk that was making his way back in would have certainly killed her. Excellent video showing why we need more than 10.

Yeah, I wish gun owners practice more with their firearms. Now we have to house and feed those punks.

And oh, go with a 12 gauge and buckshots next time.

She missed using a hi point, with the recoil of buckshot she'd more than likely shoot a neighbor.

[ElvenSoul]

Hahahaha yes a High Point! She needs a HiPoint Carbine with a red dot to go with that pistol!

[Condorguns]

Good girl! We need more of this. Flood the news reports of good people using firearms to stop bad people.

buddy owns one, after 200 rounds, the thing went from reliable to jam-o-matic.

had one for over 1500 rounds that i haven't cleaned in 700 and have had 2 jams the whole time. But to get back to my original question, no you have never owned one. funny how that is a trend with those that bad mouth hipoints.

[Altahick]

and to think that there are people trying to take firearms away from people like her.

[SWalt]

The NRA should give her a life time membership for free for being an excellent role model!

[hermosabeach]

Where is Jesse Jackson- This Semi Automatic could shoot down a railroad!!!


Only the police and military can have semi autos!!!!

I have the C9 and have several thousand rounds through it.

When I first got it, it jammed about once every other magazine. I had to adjust the magazines a little and polish the feed ramp per instruction from people on the Hi-Point forum, and since then, I haven't had any problems. I am as accurate with the C9 as I have been with any other firearm I have used.

[Jel]

Good on her. If this was here in CA she would get charged for 3 counts of attempted murder.

[hellayella]

black on black crime and the homeowner doesn't get any kudos only the police dept, wtf?

Well she missed, and the cops were the ones that eventually caught them. You want to give her a participation trophy or something?



It's definitely nice seeing people fight back against these dirtbags though.

[super80]

very well done moms..... and they(DPD) handle it the "SAME" night.

im surprised the garage didnt explode when one of those powerfull rounds hit it

[tal3nt]

mine has thousands of reloads thru the pipe with zero malfunctions. like morfeeis mentioned, the gun is a tank. Like AK47 tank

[mabilis_matulis]

Yap.. Too bad she missed.. Now we need to feed them..

QFT.

Now it's gonna be three more dirtbags getting free meals, free housing, free criminal college, and then hitting the street to rob people, and eventually do someone serious physical harm or commit murder.

Maybe we should donate for some training and marksmanship classes for her.

[ElDub1950]

Good for her, but I wish everyone who bought a gun for home defense would take at least a 1 hour class to learn a little bit about hitting something. 3 guys coming through the same doorway and not hitting any one of them? A tiny bit of training would have made a big difference.

[arrix]

Kudos to Mom, but how did she miss with a carbine? Anyway yes this is why citizens need more than 10rd mags. You can easily be outnumbered (and outgunned) at any time.

BO's other kids?

[iluvmycolt]

Glad the mom and her kids are safe.

Well, the Chief said she did it right.

http://www.wxyz.com/news/chief-react...g-at-intruders

I kinda at their repeated use of the term "assault rifle" but not sure it's entirely a bad thing.

Of course... in Frisco she would have been better to wait the 4 minutes for the cops to show up.

I wasn't going to mention her race. But since you brought it up, I really think the NRA should give her a lifetime membership for being a role model in the community, bring her up to speed on what the NRA did in the south. It will open some doors I hope. There is a clue to her character, her kids not wanting someone to steal their piggy bank! I'll assume that mom is teaching her kids to save their money and be responsible with it. So kudos to this mother all the way around!

[navydad2010]

Notice how the media "whited out" the perps faces, black on black crime needs factual reporting, then maybe some of the decent hard working inner city folks would be more inclined to stand up to the thugs armed! Good for her!

They did plaster the story on their facebook and that's a start.....

[john67elco]

Lesson for all here. It is faster to kick in your door than use a key. Get a night lock or some other form or barricade lock.

[SactoDoug]

Hooray! The ghetto blaster was used for good instead of evil!

[Nick Adams]

A Hi-point? Just goes to prove rule number one of a gunfight--have a gun.

It actually looks like an excellent choice. It's available in 9mm, 40, or 45. No recoil, easy to use, and inexpensive. She got something that works well for her. I wish she had had better aim.
