Most people never notice that a person is openly carrying a handgun. I suspect that happened in this case.

I own just about everything L’Amour wrote. I’ve actually learned a lot from his books. And that match burning was not the only trick. There is the ol’ inching toward where you cast a shadow on the perp so the sun blinds him. Not that I’d get a chance to use either of those.
But I get the strong impression that she dropped the drink as a diversion. Pretty impressive. And I can’t get Holly Hunter in Raising Arizona out of my head now.

Hillary knows how to keep one of these 2 (not both) from having a gun and plans to do that.

Make sure Taylor is of the voter registration list. The dead are voting for Hillary.

Any idea where she shot him?
Was he in front of her or behind?

Great! Lady lives, bad guy gone. Baaad guy. No sympathy from me. And its getting more common, especially the cigarette, the time, do you have jumper cables, etc.

“Carolann says she “cocked it”. I suspect she was carrying Israeli style, in condition 3, with an empty chamber. If you practice pulling and releasing the slide as you draw, it can be fairly fast.”
She has a young child. I’ll vouch for “condition 3” around kids not old enough to understand but strong enough to apply 4 lbs force on something interesting. You can’t absolutely guarantee total conscious control of an object every second.

LOL! Most likely true but I seem to spot OC all the time. Doesn’t bother me in the least but probably some vistors from Cali would find it disconcerting. Hopefully the young lady in the article will not suffer mentally and has a clear conscience. Sorry she had to be exposed to this event but the kids birthday was coming up and she isn’t going to miss it.

She had time to rack the slide? One does not simply ‘cock’ a Glock.

Thanks to the Second Amendment, she didn’t need a hundred, high paid Secret Service agents to defend her. My kind of woman. She should run for president.

Every single trainer I’ve been with is against open-carry.
The thug noticed, he chose poorly, but it could have ended a lot worse for this woman.
It’s always better to be gray then black or white when it comes to CCW.

He put the gun up to my neck and said, 'Its loaded, dont move, Miracle said. I dropped my soda, released my gun from my holster and cocked it. I shot him and ran in the opposite direction. She drew and shot with a gun up to her neck and the perp behind her? Wow. That takes some guts. My hat is off to her.
