LEE CO., GA (WALB) - Authorities say a woman was accidentally shot by her son-in-law while he was trying to shoot an armadillo.

The incident had a lot of people scratching their heads- even law enforcement.

OK so,
The ammo is 9mm pistol.
Hits an armadillo with enough force to kill it and ricochets.
Hits a fence and ricochets.
Travels 100 yards.
Goes through a back door.
Travels through the home.
Goes through a recliner.
Injures the woman in her back.

That is one magic bullet. I wish I new what brand it was.

The bullet should have been fracturing/deforming with each ricochet and penetration.
This would effect its ability to travel in a straight line and its ability to penetrate anything without being stopped.

I do not know and cannot speculate what really happened, but this story is very unlikely. That is just no how it works.
Maybe the distances are much closer than what is being described? Something is off here.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Must have been a M.I.L.-spec round. :smokin:

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
