I really wonder if the guy's gun was fake or a toy.

See what you think, link below:

Woman shoots, kills would-be armed robber after he allegedly put gun to her neck | KFOR.com

Or maybe he was so surprised that she HAD one, he froze!

Anyway, good shooting and good riddance!

(Wow, and her name is 'Miracle')

She did what she had to do to protect herself, good for her!

Think there's a thread on this one already but one less BG in the world is always a good thing!

The video shows a Glock in her hand. She "cocked" it?? Does that mean she racked the slide? She really is lucky that she had both hands free and was able to rack and shoot the scumbag before he realized what she was doing.

Exactly why I thought the guy's gun might be fake...I mean, he has his gun to her neck and she does all that (draws it, racks the slide and shoots him) with him doing nothing? Well, I wasn't there but it just sounds strange.

It really doesn't matter if the gun was real or fake. Toy guns used in a robbery carries the same penalties as a real one in a court of law.

Wasn't the Point. See above on her reaction time.

From the article,

"I feel bad, I didn’t mean to kill him......."

That could come back to bite her in court.

She appeared to be open carrying. So much for the "OC deters would be thieves and makes them seek softer targets".

Then again, it may help her NOT appear as someone who's goal is to kill a BG versus just trying to stop the threat.
Lawyers for the perps seem to be able to make the BG look like an angel, while the GG gets vilified for protecting themselves.
I will never forget Bernie Goetz(sic?), whose attackers carried sharpened screwdrivers not for injuring anyone, but for "breaking into vending machines".
Of course, old Bernie shot some nice, innocent kids who were just out having some fun (or so the lawyers said)...

She's kinda small, so I think the perp underestimated her. Last mistake he ever made.

Lessons for me:
- Carry chambered. She was extremely lucky to cock the glock without getting shot first.
- If somebody bums you for a cigarette or a lighter, be very suspicious.

No matter what the details of exactly how it went down, the outcome was one less BG. Not a bad thing

This story was actually posted a few days ago. An awful lot of folks from this form condemned this woman said she look like a drug dealer couldn't understand why she went home to call 911 I sure am glad to see the response that it's getting now and I'm disgusted with the comments when this story was posted earlier if I knew how I link the two of them together so you guys could read what other people posted about the same story. here they congratulate her in a previous post she was condemned with comments such as Musta been a drug deal gone bad why did she run home to call 911.I for one am truly appalled at some of The replies when the story was posted earlier. I said it before and I'll say it again congratulations to her I'm glad she's OK and she did one heckuva good job

This lady was quoted as saying she feels bad for the scumbag's mother and for the fact that he had a one week old baby. I hope she doesn't suffer from PTSD because of having to kill him.

If the POS was concerned for his mother or his one week old baby he would have had a job instead of trying to rob people. He got exactly what he deserved and the citizens of Arizona saved some money on keeping the lowlife locked up.

Yes, the comments on the news site are odd, one woman saying this person was a convicted felon.

Sounds like the person making this comment has an ax to grind. Odd group out in Phoenix, Az.

I'm out.

The weapon she used was involved in a fatal shooting; I highly doubt she still has it in possession or will be seeing it for another month or so. Maybe the one in the news shot was another they wanted to show for effect.

This is the media we are talking about here.

Open Carrier Shoots, Kills Armed Felon

Glendale woman defends herself after being threatened

Incredible story. While I don't like the idea of "israeli carry" this girl did everything right and is a shining example of how guns are the great equalizer.

 

[Havok]

I dont believe it. Everyone knows open carry just makes you a target and they are just going to shoot you instantly. /sarcasm

 

[msgt/ret]

Like their animal cousins, human predators tend to pick on weaker prey. Perhaps the perp didn’t see the GLOCK on Ms. Miracle’s hip. It was dark. She was holding a drink from the gas station, possibly in her right hand. If she was wearing a dark top, as she was in the video, the GLOCK wouldn’t have presented much contrast. While open carriers tend to be more aware of their defensive firearm, many people never notice it.

Yeash how many times do they have to refer to a Glock

, she was armed and had the means to defend herself???

This is the third time this story has been posted at different times

Yeah ... She was fortunate to have been carrying a real gun. Had she been carrying a S&W, Springfield or Ruger the outcome may have been significantly different
