I wonder if this idiot will be charged for pure stupidity. Also curious how many times he reloaded. Hopefully his insurance company won't cover a penny of it. Its idiots like this that give the rest of us a bad rap.

Thirty nine seems like an excessive number of warning shots. You’d think three would be enough if he started with two to the COM and followed up with one to the noggin.

Virginia Dad: *Buys a gun*
Virginia Dad: *Doesn't practice*
Virginia Dad: *Fires 39 times*
Virginia Dad: *Misses 39 times*
Virginia Dad: "Uh... Well... I meant to do that. Those were... um... warning shots. Yep. 39 of them. Yeah. Totally wasn't even aiming at her. I mean, I could have hit her if I wanted to, y'know."

And the 12-year-old finishes the fight.
Sheesh.
God bless America.

Yes, dad says she had the strength of four grown men, the 12 year old ended the fight and they've set up a go fund me. Cool story.

Very likely the perp would be discouraged by that and choose to not attack family any further. If this didn't discourage the criminal, he'd have a chance to do 12 more warning strings. Another benefit to slosig's method is far less drywall repair.

Someone watched the A Team far too much when they were young.
On a side note everyone involved complained their ears were ringing and may have lost 39 percent of their hearing.

Not that I am in the habit of entering people’s houses uninvited and maybe my cognitive abilities or sense of self preservation are radically different but as soon as somebody breaks leather and says “get the fuck out of my house”. Well I take the warning at “Get...”. And I am GONE BROTHER.
You start emptying mags “around” me I won’t need an exit I WILL MAKE ONE. Your drywall guy will want to know why he has to patch all those little wholes and what’s the deal with the one shaped like a big fat guy at full gallop.
