Indiana Gun Saves a Life

Remember, guns only cause violence - they can never ever save a life. At least, not in Chicago:

• A South Bend woman fatally shot her ex-boyfriend after he broke into her home and attacked her Saturday, police said.

  Anthony Echols broke a large window at the back of the home to get in, according to the St. Joseph County Metro Homicide Unit.

  The woman had invited a male acquaintance to spend the night because she'd been having problems with Echols, police said.

  Echols started to fight with the other man and the woman got her handgun and told Echols to leave, but he attacked her, police said.

Echols then learned a valuable lesson in the value of having a gun in the home to deter acts of violence against the occupants of said home. As a matter of fact, we heard it was the only lesson he learned properly since he dropped out of high school a few years back - he won't be repeating his mistakes ever again.

That also puts him at least one lesson up on Shortshanks and J-Fled.
