Dogmatix Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Good for her. I wonder how many hits she got on the targets and what calibre she was using. The cops said they retrieved 8 empty cartridge cases and there is no suggestion that the robbers fired any of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, she didn't panic & was cool enough to untie herself and start shooting. Nice looking lady I thought they would have raped her. Well, just wondering all right? No saying bad things I hope. Who build that villa? It's a nice building from outside wonder if they have good taste for decoration of the rooms. I have seen some of the most awful looking furnitures and wall color in some expensive houses. No taste at all. Looks cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never fired a handgun, and at 66 am never likely to, but I'm reliably informed that unlike in the movies, it's very hard to shoot a moving target with one. Given that this incident occurred in the wee hours and was dark, given that handguns are not that accurate, and given the heat of the moment, the fact that she wounded either or both miscreants makes me think she is a right Annie Oakley. Giddy-up a ding-dong, giddy-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I lived alone or out in the country, I would do the same, as well as having a few knifes or other guns hidden about the house in easy to get to but hard to find places in case I had to or was able to move about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giddy-up a ding-dong, giddy-up. All good points. The girl was running on adrenaline and did what she had to do. Kudos where it is due. As for the 100,000 baht necklace, that is only about 5 baht (weight) at today's prices, fully reasonable for her, especially as head woman, to have something like that in her home.

I daresay you aren't a drug dealer either & do not associate with druggies. You'll most likely be just fine, but, it's better to have it & not need it, than need it and not have it. I had a well-to-do (now deceased) friend in BKK who had a large safe next to his bar. He had a giant house. We got hammered one evening, talking about gemstones, so he decided to show me his collection. First thing out of the safe was a .45 pistol. He said, "Yeah, I'll open the safe if somebody makes me. But this puppy is the first thing they'll see." He also kept a half timber wolf, half malamute dog, that weighed about 170 lbs and stood 4 feet tall at the top of his head around. That mutt tolerated me, but didn't really like me. The old man had flown to Fresno California to get that dog after his house was burglarized once. This wasn't in the woods. It was off Pahonyothin, near the Ari BTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live out in rural Khampaeng Phet and I go out quite often and sometimes forget to shut the door, let alone lock it, and we have never been burgled yet. Perhaps it is because we live in a reasonable house and not a McMansion and the outside really could do with a good coat of paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
