He was dubious about some recent legislation designed to make concealed carry easier. He didn&#8217;t believe successful defensive gun uses were common enough to justify the increased risk posed by increasing the number of civilians carrying handguns, and he wanted to know where I stood on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>When I pressed him a bit, the source of his skepticism was easy to identify. Because he didn&#8217;t see reporting of what we call DGUs on CNN or Fox, they must not exist.

The news of these three events all broke within the last week or so. I could have easily chosen any number of others, but these three\u00a0stories speak to a certain diversity within the firearms community\u00a0and represent everything we stand for. These are, unquestionably, &#8220;good shoots.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>1.

After being forced into the passenger side of her car, and stabbed, she managed to retrieve a gun from her purse. She shot her assailant in the neck. Though he didn&#8217;t die, the injury was sufficient to end the attack and the idiot didn&#8217;t make it far before he was apprehended.<\/p>\n<p>Good shoot? Unequivocally. Is this precisely the type of incident the opponents of the Second Amendment would have you believe can&#8217;t happen, and never happen?

Home invasion, Mississippi<\/h2>\n<p>What do you do when a convict escapes prison? The odds that he or she will show up on your doorstep, or in your house are pretty thin. But the fugitive is likely to show up somewhere, and it happened last week in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The escapee, the late Rafael McCloud, broke into a house and tied up a couple and their five-year-old son. When the husband got loose, he fought with McCloud who stabbed him. While some of the details are still hazy, initial reports stated the wife managed to leave the bathroom where they were being held and retrieve a handgun. She shot McCloud and untied her husband, who then shot McCloud again.<\/p>\n<p>Good shoot? I&#8217;d say <em>excellent<\/em> shoot. Why do many of us keep guns in the house? Because we were Boy Scouts, and we took the <strong>be prepared<\/strong> thing to heart. We live our lives by the Scout motto. And it doesn&#8217;t mean we seek the worst and live in paranoia&#8211;otherwise, the Vicksburg homeowner would have plugged McCloud the moment he crossed the threshold. Instead, when the opportunity presented itself in the form of abject necessity, the couple did what they had to do to protect their family.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54606\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/steven-blacktongue.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"3-examples-prove-second-amendment-works\" title=\"3 Examples that Prove the Second Amendment Works\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54606\" title=\"3 Examples that Prove the Second Amendment Works\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-54606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/steven-blacktongue-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Steven Blacktongue, shot by customer at 7\/11 on Sunday, March 13, 2016.
