Friday feel good story
A woman in Toledo, OH confronted a man who was trying to force his way into her house, according to ABC13;
“I screamed as loud as I could, ‘get off my porch. I have a gun. I will shoot you.’ And he stayed at the door,” explained Collins. “I’m like, ‘Get off my porch. I have a gun. I will shoot you.’ He didn’t move, so I opened the door and there he was standing 5 inches from the barrel of a loaded .357.”
Toledo Police arrested Kyle Caldwell, who’s 31 and from Temperance, Michigan.
Collins says she didn’t shoot him after what happened not far away on Douglas last month.
A homeowner there shot and killed a 24-year-old who was also attempting to get inside.
Instead of spending the night in the hospital, or worse, Caldwell is spending the night in jail.
Betty Collins says that she has had things stolen out of her car in the past, and that she’d had enough. her boyfriend said that if he had been home, he’d have shot Caldwell, so everyone was lucky all around.

Her boyfriend should point out to Ms. Collins that the correct way to do it is, BANG!!! BANG!! Get Off My Porch!!
Why did she open the door? I sure wouldn’t – if he wanted to get in he would have to kick the door in. It’s like one of those horror movies where the stupid chick has to go see where the blood is coming from…..
Just when I start to think there’s nothing good about humanity…
@2: Be fair: Unlike the stupid girl in the movies, this woman had a gun in her hand before she opened the door.
Yeah, but I am not voluntarily going to take a firearm to within arms reach of someone I suspect to be a criminal. Go out the back door and come around the house? Maybe. Depending upon if I can make certain that there is not another criminal in the back yard.
Outcome was great. Must defer to the decision made by the one who was there.
This woman looks fucking crazy.
I’m out.
No what I’m saying?
Damn.
I think she did okay. Needs to brush up on her weapon skills, but otherwise she did okay.
