a girlfriend of mine (many moons ago) was raped in her apt in phx, az. after years of therapy, i had the pleauser of being her man (through the tail end of tharapy).
the brother of the assailant broke into her apt one night at about 2 a.m, and she capped his ass with two shots from a .38 with a standard load, center chest - he went back out through the window he had come in (with a screwdriver, knife and gun - knife in hand), and landed on the garage sunscreen covers in front of her apt, still clutching the knife.
the family insisted in their failed lawsuit that he was just there to talk to her.
i never - never - came over w/o calling first...
.380 auto for the bride - kinda **** i know, but it's loud enough and will hurt ya... the slugs won't leave the property except in the body of the perp...
