Woman with Gun to Her Head Shoots Her Assailant
Every once in a while, a shooting tragedy occurs, resulting in multiple injuries and deaths. These events are tragedies no matter where they occur and how many people are hurt. There is absolutely no excuse for them, and the perpetrators should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
These horrible shootings are often followed by liberals telling the world that guns should be eliminated. We’re also sure to hear politicians quickly grandstanding about their latest anti-gun legislation.
We’ve even seen instances where a president has lined up the families of victims while he gave a speech about gun violence and how our nation needs stricter gun control.
Good guy with gun equals bad guy without gun
What you never hear a liberal admit about this subject is the single most important aspect of the situation: if a law-abiding citizen carrying a gun had been on the scene, the carnage might have been much less. When a bad guy starts shooting, that’s the only thing that can stop him until authorities arrive, which is usually way too late.
Why is it so difficult for them to understand that a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun and save many lives and limit injuries? They just don’t get it. And they are actually naïve enough to think that laws against gun ownership will result in bad guys not having guns. Wow! I’ve got some swamp land in Florida I’d like to sell them.
Fortunately, sometimes good guys do stop the bad guys. Take the recent case of Carol Miracle, who was at a Circle K in Glendale, Arizona minding her own business. Suddenly a guy was pointing a gun to her head, trying to rob her.
Apparently he wasn’t excepting Ms. Miracle to have a gun. While he was demanding money, she pulled out her own gun and shot him. When police arrived, the assailant was rushed to the hospital, where he died.
What might have happened?
Now, we don’t know if this guy would have shot and killed Ms. Miracle if she had meekly turned her money over to him, or if she had refused to give him anything. He might have done just that to make sure there was not a witness to his crime.
He might have also shot and killed others at the store who saw it happen. But he didn’t, and it’s possible that the only reason he didn’t was because Ms. Miracle was carrying a loaded gun for her protection.
If law-abiding teachers had guns during school shootings, many more kids would probably be alive today. The same thing is true for shootings that have occurred at theaters, business offices and nightclubs.
But the liberals just don’t get it. They don’t understand that their attempts to eliminate guns would only make matters worse.
These firearm defense stories are myriad and date back half a century, but seldom brought to light by mainstream media. Instead, we hear the big lie that a gun in the home or hand is more likely to be used against the innocent. There are enough laws on the books to criminalize and incarcerate the law abiding for the rest of our lives.
On Jan 13, 2017 a good Samaritan saved an Arizona highway patrol officer’s life.
There was a car accident outside Tonopah, Az. A car had rolled over killing a female passenger. The driver was shooting at traffic for some unknown reason. An Arizona highway patrol officer pulled up to render assistance when he was shot in the shoulder. The driver began to beat the officer’s head against the ground when a good Samaritan pulled up. He told his girlfriend to call 911, while he reached for his 9mm. The good Samaritan ordered the driver to stop attacking the patrol officer. The driver refused. The good Samaritan shot the driver twice, then he went to the patrol officers assistance. The driver got up and attacked again. This time the driver was shot in the head and died at the scene. Another good Samaritan jumped into the patrol officer’s car and called for help.
If it wasn’t for the first good Samaritan having a 9mm, shooting and killing the driver attacking the patrol officer; the officer would have been killed.
A gun is nothing more than a tool. You can use it for good or evil or for your survival. This is why the Second Amendment is so important. If the crooks knew that people were packing; then they are more likely than not use a gun themselves out of fear that someone they didn’t see coming would shoot them. However, if crooks know that you are more likely not to have a weapon to defend yourself; then you are more likely to do as you are told because you are easy prey.
My dad was born in 1899. I was born in 1941 and was raised on a ranch in a high mountain valley in the western U.S.
We went to church every Sunday. In the foyer of the church were 2 rows of coat hooks and a shelf for hats, handbags, etc. 1 row of the coat hooks was lower so kids could reach them more easily. On the end wall was a 3rd row of hooks about mid height. One Sunday when I was about 7 or 8 years old I asked my Dad why they were there.
He gave me one of his “looks” and explained. “Son, back in the good old days, that is where the men were asked to hang up their gun belts.” “Guns were not allowed inside the church.”
Ahhh the good old days!
Just a couple of comments. Not all liberals want you or me to get rid of our guns. President Obama is not to blame for everything you dislike about the government. I don’t trust anyone that uses FOX news as a supposed or true source for their discussions. Fox has proved it can’t be trusted along with several other “news” agencies. I believe in being prepared. I believe in teaching others to be prepared. I believe are country is danger of many things happening. I own guns. My family members own guns and have concealed carry permits. I am also a Democrat or liberal as many may call me but I don’t fit into what everyone may think a liberal is just as I don’t believe that you or any gun carriers are a threat to me or others. I love your self-prepared items and articles. There is much to learn from you. I guess I just wish you wouldn’t try to lump me in a category that I don’t fit in. I wish we could just all be Americans trying to be prepared for what ever our futures hold and not be political assholes no matter which side we feel we are on or not on.
I no longer trust CNN either!
Unfortunately the Democratic Party is NOT the party around during JFK…they have been infiltrated with progressive liberal socialist/communists. I USED to be a Democrat and so was my 87 year old dad, but with a very limited education, my dad was smart enough to see that the Democratic Party had left him behind. This is the party that believes in sodomy and killing the unborn babies which is as barbaric as ISIS. I will not lump you into a specific category….you have lumped yourself. If the Republican Party is not to your likening, maybe try an Independent Party….anything but the Party of Satan.
I appreciate your comments. I agree that we need to be Americans first. I also believe we should be much less liberal or conservative and just be sensible.
We all need to be prepared for what can happen and able to defend and protect ourselves in all situations. The political party we ascribe to or align ourselves with in the end means nothing when we see politician after politician become just another pawn when they become entrenched in the “system” and have to make compromises all the time – regardless of their party affiliation.
Much better for us all to be Americans – not politicians or political supporters. Politics is a game – politicians are players. I don’t want to be played. But not contributing to the discussion or the process just makes us more powerless.
It’s time to be civil, not attacking. Classifications put things and people into buckets like caught fish. Few of us fit those classifications. They are there for the weak minded who don’t want to take the time or effort to understand and act rather than react all the time. Hopefully, we can benefit from the experience, knowledge and wisdom of everyone who has something worthwhile to contribute.
This is really what should happen in a Life Emergency. Congrat to Ms Miracle to end Criminals!!!
If everyone cared a gun this would stop. If everyone had a gun in there home no one would try to break in. If a robber new you had a gun he would not be dumb enough to break in. Everyone should have to learn how to shoot a gun . They do not no about guns so they are afraid of them.This is a big problem and needs to be taken care of.
The world is full of dumb criminals.
It happens over 1000 times a year, a good guy with a gun saves lives, of people who would be killed for any reason, For police and law enforcement, when they get in trouble with someone much stronger than themselves.Tens of thousands would die, but for the armed citizen!!
I agree. BUT you very very rarely see the news media reporting on ‘a good guy with a gun saves lives’. They are anti-gun/2nd Amendment.
True, Don. Those kinds of stories don’t make it on TV because they go against the media’s anti-gun agenda.
