What’s the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun? A good guy with a gun. If you’re in trouble and your life is in danger who do you want nearby? Do you want someone who legally carries a firearm or would you prefer to not defend yourself? Odds are that your first instinct will be to call the police (good guys with guns) but that’s not always enough. Sometimes, the police can’t get there in time. What do you do then?
A bad guy with a knife tried to force himself on a woman in a Florida Walmart recently but guess who showed up?
A good guy with a gun.
I have no idea why, but the little filmstrip in my head that began playing as I read your post made me snort aloud!
“Sometimes, the police can’t get there in time.”
Seriously? How about all, or at least most of the time? Response time is one of the greatest arguments - aside from the 2nd Amendment itself - for arming citizens.
You must have missed the bit about the knife. Kid had the drop on her.
My daughter carries spray. Kid was too close to use it, so only a gun would have worked, and still the kid had the drop on her.
The CCW guy had the drop on the perp. This is why it ended the way it did.
I didnt miss the knife.
Being a teenager, Id bet my life that he was no expert with a knife.
You clobber a guy with a 20 lb. plastic tub of cat litter, he’s thrown off. You have a moment to scream, run and/or crush his family jewels. Knife or no knife.
“You clobber a guy with a 20 lb. plastic tub of cat litter, he’s thrown off. You have a moment to scream, run and/or crush his family jewels. Knife or no knife.”
Picture the physics of a 120lbs woman swinging a tub of cat litter 1/6th of her body weight hard enough and fast enough to throw a 16 year old teenager off.
Guy with the guy will probably get a lifetime ban at Walmart.

My mom couldve bested me at that age.
It’s always preferred to be holding a gun than on hold with the police.
>My mom couldve bested me at that age.
One more good reason not to pull a knife on your Mother. /g
...or, I suppose.. you’re right.
Best to just lay down on the ground and accept the raping and stabbing.
He can’t rape her and hold the knife. Once the knife is out of his hand, she can fight back all she wants.
She can also vomit, pee herself, defecate, cry, and other things that can ruin it for the perp. Kid’s 15 and not expecting it.
This was a muzzie? They think of women as sex slaves, so it fits.
