Posts: 3,540A friend sent this to hubby this morning, and all I could think was you go girl!!! If Patricia hadn't been quick witted, and knew how to handle a gun, she would have easily joined the sad long list of little girls that have been raped and killed.
It must also be added, in Montana just about everyone's got a loaded gun to had because grizzly bears, wolves and other large predators are a very real part of life.

Home invasion gone wrong for criminals.
Two illegal aliens, Ralphel Resindez 23 and Enrico Garza 26, probably
believed they would easily overpower a home alone 11 year old Patricia
Harrington after her father had left their two story home.
It seems the two crooks never learned two things, they were in Montana
and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine.
Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the
front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and
grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun.
Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first
to catch a near point blank blast of buck shot from the 11 year olds
knee crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and
genitals. When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to
the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to
death before medical help could arrive.
It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45
caliber handgun he took from another home invasion robbery. The
victim, 50 year old David Burien, was not so lucky as he died from
stab wounds to the chest.
Had this happened in California, the ACLU would be out in force suing
the 11 year old girl.
(Not to mention the LaRaza groups claiming she was
discriminating.)
Nice Shootin', Patricia!

Frankly, I was rooting for the little girl 
FenBeary FolkI was thinking I'm glad England has only a small gun contingent, rural Lincolnshire seems very safe, although Patricia would probably get arrested here and prosecuted!!!
My vote would also go to Patricia
Posts: 3,540Hmmm....well I'm pretty sure her fate would be the same here. Pity, for a girl it seems you've got two choices 1. die 2. fight for yourself and probably wind up in jail.
What ever happened to being able to defend yourself?
