"The shooter will not be charged."

Ex-girlfriends can be dangerous. :shock:

Self Defense, you got to love that. A very good example that it doesn't take a huge hole to put some one down. The New Girlfriend shot her with a .22 cal. If the shots are well placed, it will do the job. Looks like the ex wasn't planning on anyone bring a gun to her knife fight.

Ah gee, I never had any women fighting over me like that. :shock:

Actually, I think the choice of a meat cleaver is a good one. It has a certain heft to it that says it means business. And, it makes a good sound when it strikes home. I particularly like the longer, curved cleavers. But they, of course, take a stronger wrist. Now, an accomplished cleaver wielder could have easily deflected that .22 shot with the cleaver itself. It's a shame that the fight couldn't have lasted a bit longer. Who knows how it would have turned out?
