A woman in Texas dodged a bullet during an attempted robbery and it was all caught on tape. It happened this weekend at a convenience store in Longview.
The woman was working behind the counter when a man walked in and pointed a gun at her face. The woman leaned to the right and ducked just as the man pulled the trigger.
The bullet missed her head but that's not where the story ends. The woman grabbed her own pistol from behind the counter and pointed it at the crook. The man ran out of the store and the clerk fired a shot, but missed.
The woman was not injured and police hope the surveillance images will help them make an arrest.
Our next piece of video takes us to Saint Helena Parish, Louisiana where a tornado caused extensive damage Sunday. The twister ripped down power lines, uprooted trees, and damages several buildings.
No injuries were reported but crews have a big mess to clean up.
Good woman
. . . hope the convenience store doesn't fire her.
But then again, I'm sure she'd rather the goblin didn't get off a second shot!
YAY!!!
“I have PMS and a loaded gun . Any questions?”
Heh-heh!
Rock on lady!
If she’d have unloaded it in his direction the police might not have to look so hard for him.
Always use two hands. Then empty the clip!
Every law-abiding citizen in the USA should carry a firearm everywhere they go!
It’s like ‘THE MATRIX’...when Keanu dodges the bullet. LOL
you go girl
"Do ya feel lucky ? well, do ya, punk ?"
“Always use two hands. Then empty the clip!”
Amen. Under he counter there’s plenty of room for a pistol with a high capacity magazine too.
Hurray for this woman having the presence of mind to grab the pistol and get it pointed at the bogey! His next shot might not have missed her.
bang!
I have that t-shirt. tee hee
You must not carry. That is an insane idea.
As someone who does carry, it takes a very responsible individual to know the due diligence of a carrying a firearm.
As an example my wife does not carry because she knows in her heart she could never kill another human with it and would be used against her if she did carry.

Your wife would not take up a handgun and use it by shooting the attacker to stop someone from beating you to death? I think you need a new wife. Yes, I’m serious.
I don’t carry because I know deep in my heart I would kill too many low lifes around here and then rot in jail.
