Oklahoma Teen Mom

It's been almost two weeks since I've posted something, but I want to dedicate this entry to the teenage mom from Oklahoma that shot and killed an intruder on New Year's Eve.

I don't know if you know the story or not, but her husband died on Christmas day from Pneumonia and Lung Cancer. A man showed up to the funeral, and then again at her house two days later on New Year's Eve. He kicked down the front door, and upon seeing a shiny object which she thought was a gun, she fired her own shotgun, killing the intruder.

I know many people think that guns are dangerous. My opinion: they're dangerous to people who are up to no good. For example, the guy that was shot by an 18-year-old widow.

I think that if you have a child in the house, you should have guns. Not just one gun. Guns. In multiple places in the house. Locked up, of course. You have a child, and it is your job, as a parent, to protect him or her, at all costs!

So, props to her. But I feel sooooo bad for her. It's hard enough being a teen mom, but I can't even imagine how hard it is for her to raise a baby by herself, cope with the death of her husband, and cope with the face that she killed someone... Oh, by the way, they had only found out 2 weeks and 4 days before he died that he had Stage 4 Lung Cancer. So try coping with the sudden death of your husband, and all of the above.

I really hope she gets the help she needs...
