Bravo. Well done sir.
Ma’am
Light’em up honey!
Good for her . Everything she did was within her right to protect herself.
Good this can’t be tolerated
Good going , hit center mass under pressure . No mercy for those who do wrong
Nick Kato!
I saw that. And this is why there is a gun next to the bed.
Good going but since it’s California they will probably put her on death row.
The only reliable way to protect your yourself/family is to do it yourself.
Was this another criminal let out early?
AB 109 doesn’t apply to violent offenders so that’s not really relevant
Jerry Brown helping the rise in crime !
YEP!
They have been releasing by the masses.
Kristina Joy No mention made in the article that the man was armed or a previous violent offender. However we have had a great increase in home robberies since the criminals know the will not be heavily penalized. We are even getting criminals from other states coming here do to the light penalties.
Danny Bedra Join me on the Santa Clarita Open forum.
Have you read the list of crimes considered “non-violent” under AB-109? B.S. it doesn’t cover violent offenders.
Good for her . ????????
Good job! She just should have remembered double tap to the chest and double tap to the head. Could’ve saved us a bunch of money on hospital bills and incarceration!
Or if their is more the One.. it’s one, one, two, one, one. Or two to the body one to the head.
The price of ammo these days we’ll have to cut back to one in the head
Good for her…
I love a happy ending.
The crook isn’t dead?
Good job
Bravo, since we don’t enforce the law and death penalty let’s do it ourselves.
John Voshell
Guns don’t kill people. They put them in “fair condition”.??
that made me laugh.
Bob Sandler was it you??
Ummm I’m not a women but I would have
Bob Sandler oh I didn’t read the article hahahaha
Good for her ??‼️Robbers are playing Russian roulette breaking into homes ??.
I am a 2nd amendment supported. I hope she did everything by the book or she will be facing charges (sad that the bad guys have rights) I pray that some day I dont have to make this same decision since you usually only have a split second to make that choice. Pray for her because she will be under scrutiny for everything by the Luny liberals.
Funny in my other post on Santa Clarita Signal that is identical to this one I have some lady that won’t stop arguing with me because I said Luny Liberals (love my spell check) she called me out for being uneducated because of one word and is proving my point about the Looney part because she won’t stop. She is attacking everyone that comments on my feed. Sigh!
Cute
Sweet good shoot
WELL DONE!
Excellent. Always ready on this end.
She could be in for a tough time. If she left the house as the article states, armed herself, then re entered the home she made herself the aggressor. You do not have an absolute right to shoot someone in your house. You need to be in a reasonable fear for your life or injury. Returning to the home does not fit a reasonable fear scenario.
That’s what I was trying to say, but other articles say different.
Kimberly Cox Rollins indeed. There could be other things we don’t know that would make it a justified shooting.
A lot of things you don’t know.
Paque sepa!!
Nice job single woman alone at home defending herself against a criminal home invasion intruder!!
#secondamendmentrights
????????
Good for her. Hopefully other potential home invaders in the area will have second thoughts. The sad part is the anti-gun crowd would rather read a headline about a Castaic women was robbed/raped/murdered in her home so they could ‘feel bad’ for her family and send them love and prayers
Great job, my entire family is trained to do this and will do it. This is an awesome job and great news to see stains get removed from society.
Outstanding!
It’s getting Wild Westy out here alright.
Go ahead and thank the Legislators who are decriminalizing crime.
Hmmm let’s see, what do you get when you combine lawlessness with strict gun control??
Oh yea, a POLICE STATE.
Gotcha.
It’s a good thing the 2nd Amendment is there and Trump and Pence are there backing it up. Them and the 100 million American gun owners!
*mic drop….*
“Luny” Liberal here. Great job lady. You used your gun to do exactly what, you should use it for. Protection. Scrutiny? Naw. Just applause.
Good shot lady!
Great!!!
Perfect…. Another perfect example of a privately owned hand gun saving this innocent lady’s life!! A weapon (hand or long) in the hands of a train “responsible” person is the most effective means of protecting one’s self and loved ones… I sure with the anti-guy crowd didn’t close their eyes to this fact….and turn their backs on stories like these when they come up….
Last thought… I wonder what will happen, if anything, to the lady for shooting is well deserving criminal???? I do hope the NRA legal team will help her out… https://www.nracarryguard.com/?gclid=CN7Y0bml3NQCFURlfgodDfoJOA
Awesome!!!!!

Just a matter of time before the homeowners arrested
Cory Sanchez
Glad she was able to defend herself… in other news WOOHOOO someone got to use their gun let’s throw a party…. uugggg
Well done. Sadly, The Supreme Court of the United States won’t hear a California gun case, leaving in place the state’s strict limits on concealed carry for law abiding citizens
Good job home owner. Too bad you didn’t have hollow point bullets.
I’m getting my pitchfork. Meet me at HM!
People might think it’s Castaic but 36000 block of Ridge Route Road is way up there.in the boonies.
Jordan Beaver
Yep there are a lot of folks with guns so criminals beware.
Glad she all right and no real harm or worse but since it’s California they will probably put her on death row.
Crystal Gamez
Terri Wilson this is what happened when we were at mcdonalds!
I wonder what those who fear vetted citizen gun ownership and legal carry permits and believe it is wrong to keep a gun nearby at night would do in this case. Just wait for a (5-15 minute?) police response and be forced to submit to an unknown intruder? An unknown intruder that is usually not vetted AND carrying without a legal permit?
