I have had 2 separate incidents of defending myself and my property with a gun. I intend to report them to ABC, but I doubt that ABC really wants to hear about them. I would wager that there is a catch to this somewhere in the fine print, I seriously doubt that the MSM has suddenly reversed it's policy of scoffing at the critical importance of personal firearms for self defense.

I just don’t know how to find all those people that have pulled guns on me, I never knew any of their names, but it sounds like breakthrough television.

I wouldn’t trust 20/20 to do a fair job on this. In the past, they have gotten legit interviews that they proceeded to cut to ribbons, making fools of the interviewees.
I wouldn’t respond to this.

No way Jose.... ABC has a proven agenda - and the last thing I would want would be to turn over ANYTHING to those vultures.
Of course YMMV.

"ABC News "20/20" is now putting that claim to the test" They're in the "news" business. Why don't they use a search engine and a phone?

Actually, this is probably a request for a John Stossel story. No surprise there. Stossel’s their “resident conservative” — and a good one.

I’ve used an AK-47 to defend my own apartment. You’d be amazed how fast a potential burglar will depart the premises.

Don’t give them your name or address. You don’t want to get on any kind of “LIST”. Avoid that Midnight Knock on the Door.

Possible approach to the story:
“Yes, I pulled a gun and fired at an intruder with a knife. He fled. But the shot went astray and killed my wife, my three children, my dog, and the couple next door! I hate guns and never want to see one again. I loved that damn dog!”

Outside a local shopping mall, a drunk waving a gun approached and threatened a man and his family. The man, an off-duty deputy in civilian clothes, promptly drew his concealed pistol and dropped the drunk — permanently. That’s what I call good “gun control”.

Posters are skeptical about the media’s true intentions. Rightly so. These people are not your friends. Do not trust them. They will pick and choose events so as to help their gun-seizure agenda.
To: epow
OK, you guys have convinced me. I won't tell ABC anything about the two situations in which I saved my bacon by having a gun handy. If ABC is true to form it would manage to somehow make me appear to be a trigger-happy gun nut who used a wicked assault pistol to threaten some innocent, upstanding young citizens who were only trying to help me find my way out of their "hood". It was just my paranoid gun-nut mental illness that made me think they were predatory criminals who wanted to rob and assault me.
Still it may be interesting to see what ABC (Anything But Conservative) does with this. I want to find out when it will be aired, if it is aired.

Sounds like a setup for a hatchet job -- I'm certain
20/20 has no intention of being fair and/or balanced.
Would 20/20 be willing to do a Part-2 to this story -- would it do a report on people have been killed, raped, maimed, etc., because they FOLLOWED gun-control laws? The laws that the bad guys don't worry about it? (The murdered Carpenter children in Merced come to mind.) When 20/20 follows through with something like that, then I'll give it the benefit of a doubt. Not before.

Given my personal experience with the media (in this case, it was local, the evening before the Brady Bill was passed) I was stupid enough to give an interview, and they took a very small portion of it completely out of context. Be very careful about what you say, and don't assume that the context will be shown.
