Woman shoots, fends off three men in early morning attempted robbery

I'm glad she had the time and was able to get the glove compartment open in the midst of the attack.

yeah, I'm curious about how this went down.

Say perhaps you normally keep a fire extinguisher in your glove box as you drive just in case your motor sets fire. You get home and open your glove box to take your fire extinguisher in the house in case of a kitchen fire. You turn around with your fire extinguisher in your hand, and there's a fire in your lawn. Your response time to putting out that fire would likely be really really good.

Not commenting on this specific case, but sometimes things just come together in such a serendipitous moment.

I hope not. She didn't need an LTCH to defend herself in her home.

She wasn't in her home, she was getting out of her vehicle. LTCH required.

 

[ModernGunner]

awwww.... shucks. I guess he'll be a 1-arm bandit now

Hunh? Now he'll be a slot machine?

Have this woman call me, immediately!

Only one out of three, and only hit in the arm? Obviously, she needs some serious training on accuracy!

I'll drive down, and train her for free!

Oh, and I want to propose. {shhhh... don't tell my wife}

Now I am considering CCing a fire extinguisher.

 

[GIJEW]

Yeah, I'd be packing in that area too.

I'm always amazed when people say things like "I always felt safe here" after something happens, as if they thought bad things never could happen there

And then, and THEN, she goes on to say she'd like to see more security, cameras, patrols, etc (in the video). She still doesn't seem get the idea she should take some responsibility for her own security.

We don't know what else she said, that the reporter didn't broadcast. She certainly got a first-hand example of the benefit of one choosing to defend themselves.

Side note:

Remember how in the "is a j-frame enough" discussions there's always multiple attackers as a reason it isn't?

5 shot Taurus 85.

Hence the word "seem" in the assertion, as in to give the impression or sensation of being something or having a particular quality, to appear.

This situation would qualify as a psychological stop wouldn't it? I mean guy gets shot in non-vital area and they all decide to stop their aggression.

A snub nose revolver was also used to end the St. James Church massacre in 1993 [1].

A snubbie was enough for that incident too (again a psychological stop), but it wouldn't be my first choice to resist an attack by 4 armed terrorists. But hey, if it's all someone's got or all they can handle or afford, more power to 'em!

Woman?s Father Told Her to Always Carry a Gun. That Advice Paid Off. [VIDEO]

Video of interview with victim.

 

[NBLSVL.EDC.]

Saw the x-reay of the perp's arm. The bullet shattered his Humerus just above the elbow. He won't be doing much with it for a while.

The victim said you could hear the bones crunching and cracking in his arm. I suppose a shattered Humerus will do that.

Doesnt sound very funny to me.
