From the Barrel of a Gun

OK: Burglar craps pants

Woman is checking her email in her garage when she hears a noise and sees an intruder crawling in. Worried for her children she grabs her 9mm and pops off two rounds at the intruder. Intruder promptly flees.
Police do not believe he was hit because they found no blood at the scene. As he was running away, she says she lined up the gun's laser sight on his back, but did not pull the trigger again, most likely sparing his life.

"I just, I couldn't do it," Fitzgerald says. "And it took everything that I had, not to. Seems like you should be able to be in your own garage at night when it's dark and not have to worry about that kind of stuff."

The Four Rules

1. All firearms are always loaded.
2. Never let the muzzle of a firearm point at anything you are not willing to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
4. Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it.
