While the democratic presidential candidates fight over who is more anti-gun and who has a lower NRA rating, one Georgia woman has used her 2nd amendment rights to protect herself and her children from an intruder who broke into her home.
She had a gun in one hand and a phone in the other, but it’s not the call to 911 that sent the intruder running.
The home invader had just gotten out of prison but all that prison time did nothing to deter this criminal from carrying out yet another crime.
“I would have definitely shot him before I let him come up the stairs to my kids,” Kim Lyle says. “I have no doubt in my mind I would have shot him.”
Lyle says in seven years of living in her home on Jones Street, she has never experienced anything like this.
She says police were able to get to her home in just a few minutes to track the suspect down.
Still, she is left wondering, with that man’s number of arrests, how he was able to be there in the first place.
Lyle says she and her children were on the second floor of their home on Jones Street, sleeping, when she was awoken by her back door chime downstairs.
She knew right away, someone was in her house.
“I grabbed my gun and I went to the stairs and I screamed,” she says. “I said, ‘I am armed. And I will shoot.’
She says she then went to find her phone and dial 911.
“I was shaking so bad, I was scared,” she says.
“Because I didn’t know. I mean someone was in my home, I was completely violated and vulnerable, I didn’t know what to do. I was really scared.”..."
