He is going to have a hard time in prison. "Yea the lady I was trying to rob, overpowered me, got my gun and shot me."

He is going to be somebodies ********.

I don't think this is what the Antis intended when they said, "they'll just take it away from you and use it against you."

I might have missed it, but I didn't see this story in the local paper (Times-Union). I'm sure it would have made the front page if the situation had been reversed.

Good on her! Hope it works out OK for her.
-They gained entry to her apartment where she wrestled the gun away. Then she fires multiple shots as he fled through the parking lot.-
I hope the DA in Jax is not an anti gun zealot.

Works for me...I'm glad she is okay.

They ought to let her keep the gun. She obviously shoots well with it to hit a moving target.

WHY was he RUSHED to the ER

That prob just a generic quote the paramedics use when questioned, in reality they stoped for starbucks and to pick up this months copy of Guns & Ammo before realizing they had to drop this scum bag off.

Just wishfull thinking.
