The door was thin metal and hollow and most walls in the south are sheetrock so theoretically yes but the fact I kinda skipped was that I wasnt comfortable shooting and NOT knowing EXACTLY what I was shooting at...yes the thought crossed my mind but lots of sane reasons ruled it out quickly and btw they were jacketed hollow points.
JIBContent should stick to his day job because he clearly has no idea about guns or ballistics.
A .45 round (230 gr) at close range can literally lift a 200 lb man off his feet and knock him backwards.
As I noted before, Im no hero or any of that such stuff, I just did what I had to do in a crisis situation, you may have chosen to do differently and thats all good the teachable moment here, I think is how important it is to have that choice.
For the record had he breached the door and entered the apartment and I killed him, I would not have been charged with anything, per the lead cop. GA has very strong laws about using deadly force on someone forcibly gaining entry to your home.
In the end I could have killed him and felt zero remorse but Im glad it didn't come to that, my moral compass guided me perfectly and I hope the idiot gets the help he obviously needs, to say he has a screw loose is an understatement...he was carrying a large rock, when the cops asked why he said "I like to collect rocks" I am sure he intended to use that on Melissa, he was using his foot and body to try to break down the door.
You guys should remember too that this could be any one of you. i thought she was being needlessly paranoid, goes to show that you never know....
to the moron who thinks its made up fine, i could give a rats ass what you think, if you get something out of this, if it raises your awareness or whatever great thats why Im laying it all out, if you dont like it..move on theres about a hundred other threads on this page Im sure one or two of them will be of more interest.
Thanks for the support and good wishes...hope it never happens to any of you, but if it does and this in any way helps...well mission accomplished.
