TAMPA - About a month ago, Audry Sauceda was carjacked and fought back.
He stuck a gun in my side and told me to get out of the car," Sauceda said while sharing her story with FOX 13 on May 15. "And I pulled out my gun and stuck it in his face, and told him, he needed to get out. He screamed and jumped out of the car."
Since the day Abby Griffith saw that news report, she's wondered what she would have done. Her friend, T.J. Sniffen, finally talked her in to coming down to the shooting range.
"The more he talked about it the more I was like I got to get involved in this," said Griffith, after firing her first rounds. "I've got to at least try it, try something new."
"I think she decided it wasn't as bad as it was cracked up to be," Sniffen said smiling.
Griffith won't be buying a gun anytime soon, but just who should have them is a topic she and T.J. have talked about a lot.
"Obviously, guns get into the wrong hands all the time," she said. "And those people will find ways to get guns, even with all the rules."
It's been almost a year now since the June 26, 2008 landmark ruling in which the Supreme Court overturned the strictest gun-control law in the country, a ban on handguns.

Her mistake was not shooting him. Bad mistake. He’ll get out and do it again. And when he does, he’ll make sure he doesn’t get taken again.
My wife was up until November 4th a pacifist. Obama HAS been good for something. Now my wife and I go to the range together. Her biggest decision is whether to go with a 9MM or .40 cal. She should receive her CWP in a few weeks.
Add the ‘9’ to the foty, an go wit a fity!
All FIVE of my kids birthdays are in the summer.
As a present to them, we will be taking the CCW class together!
Which is exactly what Mrs. Puppage did/said many years ago. She grew up in NY, her brother was actually shot for his bike (he's fine) so she hated guns. However, she thought that she might at least TRY it so she'd at least be able to form a more compelete decision not based on feeeeeling. After much prodding from me, she came to the range.
She now has her CCW and is a better shot than me.
At least ammo would be no problem ....
Hey, why do you carry a .45?
Because they don't make a .46!
wonder if they make a pistol that’ll shoot 30-06 AP?
IIRC the Thompson Contender is available in that caliber.
LOL
You won't mind if I watch you shoot it first.........from over here, will ya?
It must be like a shotgun with a pistol grip....for my SGs with PGs, I went to the shock absorber kind (Copstock, breacher, etc.) - they work great.
With or without a flash hider?
