Woman shoots intruder in a home near Daphne
by: Debbie Williams
A 44-year-old woman is hospitalized after being shot Thursday morning in a home near Daphne.The homeowner on Collier Loop Road was in the bathtub when her children heard a commotion in the front of the house. “So they go back and tell the mother that someone is in the house. They don’t know who it is and they should not be in the house,” says Baldwin County Sheriff’s Captain Clint Cadenhead.
That led to a confrontation between the homeowner and a woman she knew, who used to live there. “She commands the person to get out of the house. They don’t leave. She ends up getting a firearm out of the bedside table and again telling the person to leave and the information we have the person that got shot may have reached for the gun.”

That lever action caught my eye, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes, when watching one of the Alaska off-the-grid shows. Gun Bunny will approve.

Very strange set of circumstances today. If you are not invited in, don’t go in. If you are asked to leave than leave…or they will make you!
Mister Churchill is correct in his maxim, I, for one, am pro-liberty and individual rights, won’t change my mind and flat out refuse to change the subject.
Wasn’t the 1895 Winchester used at San Juan Hill in Cuba????
Yes it was Jeff, and yes he does approve of the 1895…in any caliber, even the little wimpy Lee Navy 6mm.
TR and his Rough Riders, among other troops, used it in the .30/40 caliber. And guess who was one of TR’s Commanders in that fight? None other than former Major General (CSA, Army of Tennessee) Joseph “Fighting Joe” Wheeler, an Alabama Boy that was one of a very few that earned the rank of Major General in both the CSA and USA Armies.
“…man shot dead,…” “…woman shoots intruder…” “Winchester 1895…designed by John Browning…”
