Guns used for lawful self defense

Post by Seth » Fri Aug 17, 2012 7:22 pm

Yet another example of a violent and potentially deadly crime thwarted by a law-abiding citizen using her gun properly.

I'll take your word for it since I can't get by the spam.

Good for her.

But the guy lived, she never even dispatched him with a witty aphorism.

It's like she doesn't even watch TV. :nono:

Could've been used for lawful self defense if they weren't taken away, rather.

Robbing a gun store just doesn't seem like a good idea, especially when the owner is in legal possession of a fully automatic M76 9mm submachine gun :{D
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Crime
Man With Concealed Handgun License Stops Vicious Stabbing Outside Texas School

A man with a concealed handgun license was able to stop a brutal stabbing that took place outside of a school in San Antonio, Texas.

The attack occurred at around 10 a.m. Tuesday outside of the Bonham Academy, WOAI reports. Teresa Barron, 38, had just dropped her child off at school when the kid’s dad showed up, prompting a heated argument. The child’s dad, identified as Roberto Barron allegedly pulled a knife and began stabbing Teresa in the upper body and neck several times.

After witnessing the assault, a quick-thinking bystander with a concealed handgun license drew his gun and ordered Roberto Barron to drop the knife. The father complied and surrendered and was taken into custody by the good Samaritan and a school district officer.

Heaps of examples exist of people who stop knife attacks without guns.

For every human action, there is a rationalisation and a reason. Only sometimes do they coincide.

Better to do it with a gun. Cuts down on the risk of getting stabbed in the course of intervening.

Yah, if you have ten years of advanced martial arts training. What about grandma, who's 80 and feeble? She's just fucked in your part of the world.

Samuel Colt had the solution for grandma though, and called it the "Great Equalizer."

Come within 20 feet of me while threatening me with a knife and you'll get no warning at all before I shoot you dead.
