A Columbia County woman told deputies that she surprised a burglar in her home and was cut several time before she was able to pick up a gun and shoot at him, at which point he fled.

Basically, armed woman comes home to find someone wielding a knife has broken into her home. Woman is stabbed/cut/attacked by the intruder, but manages to convince the guy with a few shots from a handgun he had better get out of there.
Another example of guns saving lives, someone comes home at an unusual time only to find an intruder in their home who is armed.
Looks like the bad guy was sadly not shot, or else he would have turned up by now.
Thankfully the woman probably saved her own life by being armed.
This poses a question though, if you came home and "surprised" an armed burglar what would you do different?
