Dinah Burns is licensed to carry a concealed gun, but she'd only recently started taking her weapon while walking her dog. It was Monday when Burns was on a footpath near Sanderson Elementary School.
"Two gentlemen came out of the woods, one holding a baseball bat, and said 'You're coming with us'."
The men weren't deterred by Dinah's dog Gracie.
"I said, 'Well, what do you want?,' and as I was saying that I reached in to my pocket and slipped my gun out, slipped the safety off as I pulled it out. As I was doing that the other gentleman came toward me and raised the baseball bat. And, I pointed the gun at them and said, 'I have this and I'm not afraid to use it.'"
The men took off and so far have eluded police. Dinah posted about the incident on Facebook to alert friends and neighbors, to criticism by some. "Most of the males' opinion was, 'Why didn't you shoot them?'"

She should have shot the “gentlemen”. They’re out there free to do it again.

In reality, all posters should be saying, "thank God you had the right to carry, and thank God you were carrying, and thank God you had the wherewithal to use it with discretion."
This is the perfect example to give to the anti 2A. dayum.

Remember the scene in Death Wish 3 when he shoots two thugs for trying to steal his bait car? They think they have the upper hand when they pull a knife.

Obviously she was a too-good person who showed them the mercy they didn’t deserve and would never have given her.

“She says she only remembers that her assailants were young men, both of them white.”
You didn’t read the article.
We all know what that means!

Great story! Although, as a woman, I’m generally afraid of places called “footpaths.” We have one in the town I’m in and it’s deserted at all times.

I don't agree. The 'second day' story has yet to occur, this time with a different woman, and this time they will also have a gun.
