This may have already been posted, but I did a search and couldn't find it. If so...I apologize in advance. It is one great story. The dispatcher on the 911 call actually told the grand-daughter to tell her grand mother not to shoot any more. Amazing.

If you favor more stringent gun laws, they're the people who come to mind: drug-addled stickup artists, dimwits who keep loaded weapons with kids in the house, bad-tempered drunks and psycho stalkers and cop-killers with nothing to lose.These are the people that are going to possess a firearm even after the right to bear arms is revoked.

Gun grabbers believe that too many drug crazed lunatics, thieves, drunks, and psychos own guns but anyone who would want to arm themselves against the criminals is paranoid.

Jacquielynn Floyd is another writer who doesn't understand the purpose of the 2nd Amendment or the people who support it.
I am tempted to use stronger language, but profanity is not allowed on this site, and I'm glad it isn't.

These are the people that are going to possess a firearm even after the right to bear arms is revoked. Urban liberals can't get that through their heads. They insist on believing in the fantasy that if we just pass the right laws, all those scary-looking young dark-skinned men they have to pass by every day on the way to work at least won't be able to pull a gun on them.

I watched her tell her story on Hannity and Colmes and to tell you the truth, she is lucky the guy didn't overcome her and now would be a criminal with a handgun. She shot him in the leg when he lunged at her because she didn't want to kill someone. Lame idea for a woman to do that when the stronger man, even with a wound in his lag could have taken the gun away and killed her and her daughter.

The anti-gun crowd can't seem to understand police respond AFTER a crime is committed. Police sort out the mess AFTER someone is injured or killed. Guns also protect our freedoms, of course. What other recourse do we ultimately have if the government seizes powers not authorized by the Constitution?
Bottom line: it's a matter of personal freedom. Don't keep guns if you don't want them, but don't dare take guns from law-abiding citizens who want them.

She talks too much in these interviews and she shouldn't be doing such.
Hopefully this won't come back and bite her in a Civil Suite since this happened in Tarrant County.

Did you actually read the whole article? If not, perhaps you should.

I keep a loaded gun with kids in the house - out of reach. Also its a double action revolver. It'll be a while before they can pull the trigger or cock the hammer.

You stated: --
"Did you actually read the whole article? If not, perhaps you should.""I don't know whether I'm ready to endorse Susan Buxton's firm belief that women should arm themselves, that they should be prepared to defend themselves, their families and their homes with deadly force. It's a personal decision that cannot be made lightly."
In general the article was favorable; however, the article's opening statement and the above statement by Ms Floyd suggested to me that she is a long way from understanding the 2nd Amendment, its significants, principles, and purpose.

I can't work up to much energy over her self-evidently true statement that there are certain people who are too stupid, irresponsible, or dangerous to be allowed to carry a gun.
