Sub morons... they believe a "pleasant place" means that violent acts committed by criminals and lunatics can't happen... it's because of people like this why we still have these "gun free zones" yet they don't offer any form of protection... they just stick up a sign and that's "good enough" to for theOriginally Posted by Eagleks
but nature never intended
These days, the sheeple's idea of "crime control" is actually PLEADING with criminals, I see this too often... they shout "stop the violence" and that's enough by them, they pat themselves on the back because they think they actually stand for something... but in reality they stand for nothing, in a way, some of these same dim witted
The posters who who would not try to stop the potential deaths of 2 walmart people need to put THEMSELVES in their positions... what if those 2 innocent people were YOUR SON, YOUR WIFE etc... would you say that a legally armed citizen, allowed by law to use their arms to stop a force able felony, that you would want yourself, wife, son etc to not be aided?
Crazy... these days people think about themselves and not about others... sad.

What would I say to the legally armed citizen who did not use their firearm to protect my family? I would not say anything. The decision to get involved is an individual one. While I would hope somebody would get involved if me or mine were in trouble, I do not depend on those things. That is why I carry a firearm.
I don't believe you, or anybody, has the right to criticize somebody for not making a decision to take a life.
You alone know your abilities, limitations, and fortitude. If you don't have the ability to take a clean shot, under pressure, in a crowd, and you choose NOT to make the shot, than I have more respect for you than the person who jumps in over his head and makes things worse.
With all of that said. I still believe Granny did the right thing, and I most likely would have done the same thing.
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.

When I asked the question, I was assuming that you were not armed.

again...the liberal media, finding someone....ANYONE that was scared of the mere sight of a gun and putting THAT quote in the article...how many people stood and cheered the grandma for her actions...or interview one of the stabbed ex-burger flippers turned loss prevention, and ask them if they are happy the incident was over...
it is the same negative spin most articles have when it comes to 2A issues...

She did what was wrong and what was not smart. I would like to know who trained her? This was just executed all wrong. We are not LEOs.
Defense of a third person is legal in most states.She did what was wrong and what was not smart. I would like to know who trained her? This was just executed all wrong. We are not LEOs.
The career criminal cut someone with a knife.
The woman forced him to stop...at gunpoint.
The man dropped his knife.
No shot was fired.
Explain to me how this was "executed all wrong".

Yes, this explaination should be a good one. What was wrong, what was not smart, and who trained you, cause they need a swift kick in the pants?
Where does it say that only Leo's can stop crimes in progress?
Wow, this really should be good.

Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

While we are not LEOs, we are members of the human race and especially Americans. We need to show the BGs we are not willing to stand around and wait to be witnesses, or worse just leave and pretend we didn't see what was happening. Even if we were no armed we could each grab an item and throw it, hit the BG, or engage in some impromptu way. The worst thing can happen is for you to be attacked with a crowd around, everyone will watch assuming someone is calling 911 and it isn't your problem.

Far worse can happen beyond merely being attacked in front of a crowd. This lady drew down and captured a knife-wielding attempted murder, via a clear plan and solid option for handling the situation, knowing full well she could execute if need be.
Doing "something impromptu" could have easily resulted in a completely different outcome. Each must gauge the cost/benefit. Winging it isn't for everyone.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.

that is one of the best statements I have seen written on this board...why didn't 30 people checking out all throw soup cans at him...anything...he was attacking and trying to harm another...good Americans can not stand around and let these things just happen anymore hoping someone else will do something..
