u didnt hear about this in the media... my parents live between notus and parma on a non lit country road.
almost 2 years ago my mom, sister, and neice were all asleep in my moms home.
my dad works construction all over idaho and was gone that week.
in 2000 I purchased my mom a newer s&w sigma with the light rail.
i then bought her a m3 weapon light. then to top it off i bought her a box of
winchester black talon ammo that cost me 30.oo for box of 20.
in 2004 i purchaed her 4-17 round mags for the gun.
I showed her how to run her pistol, light and how to do a slide lock reload.
everytime i am over there i check her pistol and replace batteries if i need to.
fast forward to event..
on a friday early morning i know it was between 2 am and 4am,
her dogs started barking, mainly harley, her lab, instead of just barking, he will go to the part of the house to show u why he is barking. my mom got up and started to hear people whispering. I have always told her to place her gun so she could see the night sights and wouldnt have to turn any lights on to retrieve it. i had advised her that as long as the lights were off , she would control the geography. because the perps wouldnt know where the obsticles are such as furniture. she did not follow anything i told her, she ran out the side door with the weapon light on and started shooting
she fired close to 10 rounds and scared the crap out of the 5 people in her front yard.
the neighbor hearing this, came out with his weapon and helped my mom hold them at gun point until the Canyon county sheriffs office arrived like 30 minutes later.
apparently these people were looking for my older sister and werent going to leave without her.
they told the deputy that my mom was crazy, all 5 were arrested for various charges.
i was shocked when it didnt make the news.
