NFW!
I'm not waiting for a response.
I'm too lazy to find it right now, but recently, here in the US we had an intruder break into a house with a mom and her 9 yr old twins. They had to hide in the crawl-space attic. The guy pursued them. She had to shoot him several times and he got away.
The entire time she was on the phone with her husband who was on the other line with 911.

Yeah, there are so many incidents over here where if the victim was armed harm or death could have been avoided but such is our law and I doubt it will ever change.

I just hope the US (and other countries) governmenst look into helping people with mental health issues and tighten up policys on back ground checks and close any loop holes that are still out there.

I have a friend in Wallongong and she said someone (probably bikies) broke into her home but luckily she wasn't there. Idk what would've happened if she was!

I agree!
