She was very lucky that the suspect did not turn on her after gaining control of the weapon.

I thought people were too scared to rob houses in Texas because the assumption is that everyone in Texas is armed?

 

[Incorruptible]

Good for her for taking them on, The article said they spoke in Spanish for a little bit, possibly illegal immigrants since it was Texas and near mexico?

I thought this too...

True that - this could have ended much worse, with or without the gun. Sounds like it did help run these guys off, in any case.

 

[PokerGuy]

Too bad she wasn't able to terminate all three dirtbags.

Dammit girl, fucking unload on them next time.

Cool story, but the moral here is obviously to get your gun first,THEN investigate. If your home invaders go with you to get your gun, your plan is sub-optimal.

Cue anti-Second Amendment nuts to wave their massive e-penises and accuse this woman of having a small penis, since everyone knows only people with small penises need guns.

meanhile just outside of Dallas, an assistant DA is gun downed outside of the courthouse.

Good for her. Seriously, I applaud her. This is a prime example of a legitimate use and ownership of a gun.

 

[DominionSeraph]

Man, if I had been in their shoes, I would've stood my ground as soon as she started giving lip about the money. Clear violation of my second amendment rights.

And you pull the trigger until it goes click, click not just one time.

And? The outcome of that would have potentially been the same if she hadn't had the gun... Duct taped, raped and killed and perhaps her kid too.

My wife feels she'd rather have the access to her firearm than not have the option at all.

They weren't afraid to cross the border illegally were they?

3 men, 7 rounds.


I wonder if the people in new york can sue the state if they're brutally attacked and unable to defend themselves due these ridiculous laws that only apply to people who care about laws.

Yep. The take away is they normally travel in packs. 3-4-5 is the norm, not the exception. That's what 30 rounds is for.

Given that at least half the shots won't hit their target, with 5 bad guys that's only 3 bullets in each.

And this is far more common than many think. Women who go through don't want to talk about it.

The type of people who show up in a group will not just pat the woman on the head and leave.

Weird how they dont like to show up when a gun is used to save somebodies life.

Damn, too bad texas allows high capacity magazines. If only they limited it to 7 rounds I'm sure that the shooter would've just decided not to assassinate that DA.

 

[sigurros81]

Did it say anywhere in the article mention that these intruders crossed the borders illegally, because I may have missed it as I was reading, or are you assholes just being dicks for the hell of it?

With a bullet in his guts there's a real good chance that guy won't be robbing anyone ever again.

 

[Doppel]

She didn't handle that ideally and I agree with EagleKeeper's first comment. That said, if the story is as written that gun's existence was a great thing and now there's one less gut-shot criminal on the street, plus of course his buddies will be caught if not already.

not the point. the common argument is that the assumption of being gunned down in an attempt deters home invasions.

I hear it all up and down here: gun ownership is beneficial in reducing home invasions. The theory that being amongst an armed populace will convince criminals to not even attempt the home invasion.

seems that it still happens.

...what, a DA was also gunned down in Texas, in public? criminal didn't assume that the DA was armed, or people in public were armed? ...or did, but obviously didn't care?
