Woman has CCW and is attacked at home.. her gun was in a case/holster which in the seconds that mattered did not allow her to pull the trigger..
From article:
“I have a concealed carry permit and a handgun and I immediately went for that. I grabbed my firearm and we both just aimed at each other but mine was in the case so I couldn’t pull the trigger.”
She should have just said: "ohhh let me go get my husband for you". These scumbags do this to find the females home alone.
Or not answered the door.
Or answered the door WITH her pistol if she is not expecting visitors.
If I am not expecting anyone at my door, I have my pistol and I am not a happy camper.
Ohh wait, I am always carrying at home, so it is always available, don't have to go to the bedroom.
exactly.... always awareQuote:

And the wife wonders why I carry at home....
Exactly, mine is never in a safe, with me or next to me at nightQuote:

It is surprisingly easy for a perp to kick in a door and be in the victims personal space, especially if that perp already has made contact with them and knows exactly where the victim is and that they are alone. Ohh, and took a peek at the layout of the house already by the victim opening the door to talk with the perp.
Anyone take note at how many walls that round went through?
Looks like he was driving a retired crown vic.
It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.Quote:

I really want to get some of those, I have irritating issues with my front door (sidelight) and my back door (big glass pane) that I wish I could fix easily.Quote:

Is your definition of easy replacing the doors or installing security gates?Quote:

This is why I say theyre a waste.Quote:

For half the money and less time you can do better.
I thought she was foolish to go on TV. Maybe now he comes back for payback.
Yeah, because he (and his buddies maybe) definately know who she is.Quote:

Oh My God! This is very crazy! Did anyone hear gun shots last night at about 2:15 AM right near 5th and Knox?

I post these things so that we remain aware (keeping our heads up) rather than to instill fear or paranoia or a political debate.
Generally life mostly is good for most folks.

I do understand Steve. But it is a frightening reality when you hear about it. I wish we could do something to stop it.
Thank Flag
I'm just instructing everyone in my home to not answer the door anymore. If we look through the peephole and don't know who it is, they stay outside.
we also have a locked storm door on front so it takes twice as much work to get in.
This is where I'm at with the whole thing. Everyone I know text messages, if I don't get a text or a call stating you are at my home, I won't even get up to look through the peep hole, unless of course I'm expecting Jimmy Johns lol.Quote:
