Absolutely! The other day a friend of mine was telling me about helping to foil a thief from stealing his friend's car in Dallas. They were playing pool and someone came in from the parking lot to say two individuals were breaking into the car. David (my friend) and his buddy went outside to discover a man and woman working on the car. As soon as the man saw them he fled but the woman stood her ground after finding a gun under the car seat. She began firing at David and the car/gun owner, the two of them were able to get to safety and retrieve the weapon of a third friend. He returned fired and hit her 3 times, all non-fatal wounds, thwarting her robbery attempt. The police arrived and told David's buddy that he should have killed the woman! Glad to see he doesn't have any more use for criminals than I do. (Both of the guns belonged to concealed permit carriers.)
