Defensive Use of Firearms

The first inaugural “Peace in the City” back-to-school event in Titusville, Fl., almost ended in tragic irony. Fortunately, a concealed carry license holder was also on the scene and stopped the crazed individual before anyone was injured.

“It was a life-changing experience to be put in a situation like that.  I don’t wish no one to be put in a situation like that,” said Lovelace.

FreedomToons released another winner this week. This pro-gun cartoon, humorously titled, “The Good Guy with a Gun: Total Myth I Swear” (see below) destroys the narrative propagated by anti-gunners that defensive gun uses are almost non-existent.

“The suspect could have left. He could have left the store then, but instead he continued to pursue (the clerk), and immediately as he comes around the corner again, points the gun again. The clerk defends himself,” Edwards said.

No details have emerged about the murderer who killed two and injured 12 last night in Toronto, but that hasn’t stopped the city’s highest officials from leveraging the attack to support their anti-gun agenda.

It’s the classic Hollywood scenario: the Villain holds the Woman at gunpoint, and the Hero takes him down with a well-aimed shot in the kisser. That cliché became all too real for a couple in Houston yesterday when two armed men tried to rob and assault the wife at gunpoint.

Instead of bringing Benson water, Mattox returned with an AR-15. Taking cover behind the stolen Mazda sedan, Mattox instructed the suspect to drop the gun. Benson refused and instead opened fire, at which time Mattox returned in kind.

“People need to see this,” Donovan told news affiliate TMJ 4. “It’s shocking. But this is what’s happening in some parts of our city. This comes amid a spike in crime in my district. If we don’t start paying attention to neighborhoods that are on the fence, they’re going to fall on the wrong side of the fence.”

“I’m not a killer or anything, but I do believe in defending what’s mine,” she continued. “I hope that woke him up.”
