dvport, just know your state laws. My two states, that I reside, it's pretty easy to make the case of, they were in the home and by defact that makes use of lethal force authorized.
Furthermore if she weren't, she has 2 kids sleeping and is the wife of a LEO.
What DA would actually push that through and furthermore, I doubt a jury would convict.
Yeah...

Ahhh A Cute Little Rottweiler
I let my SO know that one of his cousins had a little bit of fun with a burgler. My good buddy Boulderdash got a little bit of that action when a guy jimmied my sliding glass door open and got about two feet inside the door before Dash laid waste to him. Blood everywhere.
They are not just man's best friend anymore. Old Ladies get a lot of enjoyment out of them also.
Of course today they live the easy life unlike their ansestors that had to tag along with the Roman Leigions. They are more than happy to maul a home invader now and then to keep their hand in; between naps.
Rottweilers take a bite out of crime.

This story just gets better and better. Is one of the burglars named Murphy, by any chance?
As for where to buy Dragon's Breath rounds, I don't know, but I have a possible lead for anyone interested. There was a gunshop in Minneapolis that used to carry them (and which had a website). The City shut the place down several years ago for questionable zoning reasons, but I heard it reopened last year on Lyndale Avenue. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name, but it started with a "Ko" and sounded Polish. No idea if they still stock them, but a resourceful web searcher might be able to find the place.

I'd lost touch with this classic thread after initial read (and LOL!) .... but a timely reminder from Preacherman got me back to it ... fortunately .... now I have more aching ribs to settle down.!!
This surely must now join the ranks of the ''Mall Ninja'' thread.

"What DA would actually push that through?"
The kind that are young, green & want make a big name for themselves type. I applaud this woman. She thought fast & pumped another round instead of just assuming that the job was finished. She protected her kids & herself. I hope they pass a castle doctrine in NC. Here you have to be in fear of your life just to draw the gun. You can't protect your property.

These guys should consider themselves lucky they ran, a bird bomb to the midsection at 15 feet can't be healthy.

Can someone post a picture directly to THR of dragons breath? The link is non-functional for me and I've googled high and low with no success. Thanks.

Lucky bastard. For some reason, exotic shotgun rounds are banned in florida. No flechettes, bolos, dragons breath, bird bombs, etc. I would love a saiga filled with 10 bird bombs for home defense.
And good shooting. I'm glad she had the guts to pull the trigger, and the wits to rack the slide and let them have a second one.

Re the comments by Dport.
I can not ever imagine any Grand Jury or DA pursuing a case against a single (alone at the time not marital status) woman defending her kids using deadly force. Particularly a woman married to LEO. I only wish that although the story is funnier with the dragons breath round, she had infact had her loads of slugs and buck. These were by all accounts career criminals. I am willing to bet they were on a first name name basis with local law enforcement already.
Perhaps the only good part of her not killing the Bastids is that she was spared the trauma of that particular act.
Had hubby been home, He might have decided to do the "Halt or I will shoot!!" thing. He has training, been there, done that, but to decry her actions suggests that you feel these miscreants deserve better. I do not.

If she had said "Freeze", she would have let them know she was there giving them the ability if armed, to shoot her. A wise man said it best. "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
I read a article recently about a cop who went with his family out to dinner. The diner was being robbed. Cop pulls gun & tells the BG to freeze. BG doesn't freeze. Instead he whips around & started firing wildly. Cop kills BG, but not before one of the BG's rounds hits a 9 year old in the head. She doesn't live.

Great story - especially how the BG didn't really get the message that this was going to be a short-term career.
Here's some of that ammo:

Old thread resurrected . . . didn't see it the first time around.
But let's see . . . a 12-ga round at maybe 5 yards, and yet both guys were able to run away?
This tends to confirm something I've suspected for a long time about "exotic" ammo - the more impressive the name, the less impressive the performance.
No gimmicky stuff like "Dragon's Breath" for me, I'll stick to something like 00 or 000 buck, thank you very much.

Fun fun fun fun!!!!

This thread still cracks me up every time I read it.
That being said, Novelty Rounds are exactly that...Novelties. I can see some use for the Bird Bomb and Screamer rounds for clearing obnoxious birds from runways, etc.
For protection from 2 & 4-legged predators, I'll stick to Buckshot & Slugs.

The Bird Bombs and Screamers are for grown-up versions of bottle rocket wars.
I'm kidding of course. As foghornl said, they're primarily for encouraging wildlife to move along without killing them.
Up here they try to use them to haze bears away from garbage and such. it usually doesn't work.

Bird bombs I have tried are the equivalent of a M80 firecracker
in a shotshell: travels close to 100 yards, white flash THUD boom.
It is supposed to make starlings move into the next county.
