Apopka - Rare a day to get to see the victim stand up for themselves. We couldn't be more proud of 33 year old Secretta Neal. Local mother of four.

After a day of shopping for seemingly useless crap at Wal-Mart, she was followed home by a couple of idiot thugs who underestimated the will of a woman.

These jerks kicked in the door, put a gun to her 14 year old son's neck, tied up her boyfriend, and demanded money.

Because working hard for it is just totally out of the question.

Secretta outwitted her would-be robbers by going to her closet and getting a 9mm. She shot one of them dead, in the living room. However, before going down, he fired off one shot. Hitting Secretta in upper right arm.

Not only did she protect her family as those men were armed, she proved a valuable point. The 9mm platform is sufficiently deadly for close quarters situations and a great home defense option for most people.

More people need take this message seriously. Consider investing in a weapon for the home. Learn that weapon. Practice all kinds of scenarios. Local ranges featured on this site offer programs to enhance your calm, resolve, and accuracy in life-threatening scenarios. Think about it.
