Seasons1992 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Good for her, a responsible legally-armed gun owner who used her rights to defend herself. One less deadbeat on the street/in our jails. **I'm not a gun person but this woman did what she needed to do, legally.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Call it a wash. https://nypost.com/2018/12/07/hero-sergeant-in-thousand-oaks-massacre-was-killed-by-friendly-fire/amp/ Yeah guns! Good for her, but the numbers the other way gotta be out of the park. Do they even keep track of those numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for her, but the numbers the other way gotta be out of the park. Do they even keep track of those numbers? Sorry, Exiled, but how do the two incidents even compare? An officer accidentally killed by a fellow officer during a bloody shootout, vs. an elderly woman with a concealed weapon permit defending herself from possible robbery, rape, and murder in her own home - I don’t see the connection. .

They don't compare. Just goes to show you what crazy gun culture we have. People shooting it out everywhere. Good, bad, collateral damage... It's the wild west.

People shooting it out everywhere. Good, bad, collateral damage... It's the wild west. OK, I sort of agree, but officers trying to subdue shooters is not “Wild West”. An elderly woman defending herself against an intruder in the middle of the night is not “Wild West”. Now, the gangland warfare and driveby shootings going on in our inner cities, THAT’S Wild West. But most, if not all, of the guns used in those incidents are illegally obtained. Granted, some of the weapons are legally obtained, like we have seen in the recent spate of school mass murders. Certainly , when some nut comes into a gun store and purchases a dozen weapons and several hundred rounds, it should raise an eyebrow and the individual should probably be detained, investigated, placed under surveillance, etc. But those are strong arguments for law-abiding citizens to be licensed to legally own guns to defend themselves, and more armed guards in our schools to defend helpless children.
