One way to get rid of guests

A Florida woman opened fire on her house guests because they were "too loud" and had overstayed their welcome, police say.
Alana Annette Savell, 32, was hosting a couple at her Panama City home when the visitors apparently became noisy.
Police say she ordered them to go, before shooting the man and woman in the legs. The victims went to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Ms Savell has been charged with aggravated battery by a firearm.
Bay County Sheriff's Office told the BBC the female victim had turned up with a male friend, whom she had just met in a bar, at the accused's home at around 01:00 local time on Monday.
Ms Savell told police her hospitality began to wear thin after her guests began drinking and raising their voices.
But instead of dropping a hint by yawning or loading the dishwasher, she armed herself with a 22-calibre handgun and shot at her guests' feet, officials said.
As well as shooting the woman, Kristy Jo Mohr, in both legs in the incident, and her companion, who went by name "Cowboy", Ms Savell's own boyfriend was struck by a bullet in the leg.

This really seems excessive and counter-productive...
I find in these situations that a warning shot fired past the head is usually sufficient....
And how are they supposed to flee in terror if you shoot them in the legs?

Surely it would be simpler to have Gob come over?

Bullshit.
I always point to inner-city street gangs to debunk that quote. Robert A. Heinlein was/is one of my favorite authors ever, but that particular widely-quoted aphorism is probably the stupidest thing he ever wrote. Jim Wright (Stonekettle Station) in one of his essays once had a good analysis of why that quote makes perfect sense--
but only in the context of the particular society envisioned in the science fiction novel (Beyond This Horizon, originally published in 1942) in which that quote appeared. It's an adage based on a fictional world.
BTW, in another SF novel (
Tunnel in the Sky, 1955) Heinlein wrote,
"One time in a hundred a gun might save your life; the other ninety-nine it will just tempt you into folly." That one seems more accurate for the real world in which we are now living.

Yes, but then you're left with an even bigger problem...

If you're playing the long game it's not counterproductive at all. After that do you really think they'll be coming back?
