Now THIS is what self defense is all about!

Let me think....911 on speed dial, or gun in hand. It's a no brainer for this young woman.

Just read the article, wish there were more details... However, she wasnt charged so it must have been a good clean shoot.

ABC news had an article and said about the same thing, but added that he had made threats against the woman already. He came to her door with the rifle and opened the door and shot him. Again, no charges were filed.

Sounds like one bully is down and out.

Story doesn't make it sound legal.

When someone threatens you and then shows up at your door with a rifle the requirements for the use of deadly force have been met. She believed she was in danger of death or great bodily harm. More importantly; I’m sure a jury would also.

Sounds completely justified as presented.  What would one question?

With as many domestic disputes that end up with the woman being killed and either the guy then killing himself or going to jail at taxpayer expense I say give her a medal because the bad guy is dead and she is alive because she did the right thing................jmho

Good for her. There's no sense waiting until he had the barrel in her mouth.
