Didn't you just post this a couple of days ago...or are you doing a series with the theme of "guns are good, criminals are bad"?

The latter, ma'am.

Usually these are stories about people who many anti-gunners would say "there's no way you can defend yourself against someone who already has the element of surprise on you". This is another such scenario where someone was able to draw even though a gun was already aimed at their head.

It sure is good to see people standing up against these criminals. The anti gun crowd will once again tell you to just call the police. Kinda hard to do after your already dead, but the police will be happy to make a report when you are found and reported to them. They will even investigate your death.

This is such a good story. I for one can be one of the ones to tell you, don't always count on the police when you need them.

Depends on that person taking your call, they have got to beleive you need assistance, and truly need it, or they won't show up when you need them. Not always the case, but this has happened.

People are doing what they should be doing, standing up for their rights, and their life. What is more important then one's life just tell me please! what do you want us people to do, protect ourselves with our fingers, please?

The criminals will always have weapons no matter what law is passed. About dang time, so many of these stories of late, are the good guys or gals winning.

I like stories with happy endings.

I wonder if the robber will actually serve jail time in this "revolving door" criminal justice system of ours.

Well, the 'criminals are bad' schtick works, unless you are here to argue against it.

Criminal: "I'm a 'Dreamer'".
Judge: "Oh, then you are free to go".

I am amused by all the RW praise for people putting down these entrepreneurs. The thief was only trying to make a living just like any used car salesman or high end banker. Why can’t we shoot them as well?
