Without
a gun, the 65 year old woman in the video below and her employees would have
been at the mercy of whatever the criminals wanted to do.
Hopefully
the criminals would have just grabbed a bunch of jewelry and left the store,
but you never know.
The
following is a description of this incident from the Los Angeles Times....
The
attempted heist occurred Sunday at Continental Jewelry in the 12000 block of
The
men rush to the front of the counter and point handguns at the clerks and a
customer. Seconds later the shots are fired and the men race back to the door,
fighting to get out as the woman runs after them.
Video
of this elderly woman shooting at these thieves and chasing them out of her
store is posted below....
Sadly,
in the wake of the recent shootings in
But
the truth is that crime always seems to go up in
Just
look at Chicago, Illinois.
Strict
gun laws were supposed to greatly reduce crime in
If
you look outside of the
A
recent article by Mac Slavo of shtfplan.com contained some
statistics about how crime has risen in
Armed Robberies are UP 69%
Assaults Involving Guns are UP 28%
Gun Murders are UP 19%
Well,
what about areas where gun ownership has been allowed to flourish?
The
following is from a recent article by my friend J. Vanne in which he detailed how guns have helped to
reduce crime in many areas of the
As
a matter of fact, Gun Owners of America, cites
statistics indicating guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense,
or around 80 times a day (other statistics estimate this number could range as
low as 1.5 million, but either number is a lot!). This includes 200,000 women a
year using guns to defend themselves against sexual abuse. As a matter of fact,
as of 2008, armed citizens killed more violent bad guys than the police (1,527
vs. 606).
It
appears George Washington had it right, when he said “The very atmosphere of
firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a
place of honor with all that is good.”
What
about concealed carry?
Statistics
from the recent past show states that passed concealed carry reduced their murder
rate by 8.5%, rapes by 5% and robbery by 3%. Florida, which
passed concealed carry in 1987, saw its higher than average homicide rate drop
52% during the following 15 years after passage, to below the national average.
The
criminals are always going to be able to get guns.
This
has been proven over and over and over.
But
if criminals know that they are likely to get shot if they commit a crime, then
that is going to make them a lot more hesitant to do so.
In
addition, gun ownership is not just about preventing crime and it is not just
about hunting either.
Our
founding fathers felt very strongly about gun ownership for some very
fundamental reasons that Ben Swann detailed in a recent "Reality
Check" segment about the Second Amendment....
So what
do you think about all of this?
