Armed woman fends off 5 men attempting to rob her

A young Houston woman shot and wounded at least one would-be-robber outside of her home early Tuesday morning, according to the police.

Lachelle Hudgins had just parked her car when it was approached by two men, KTRK-TV reported.

They tried to reach through her driver’s window and grab her purse, while the three others stood nearby, according to KTRK reporter Miya Shay.

“I couldn’t do anything except scream,” Hudgins said. “At one point, they told me to stop screaming, and he reached his hand inside my car.”

Before the thugs could swipe her purse, though, Hudgins acted quickly and snatched her firearm out of it.

She only fired two rounds, but that was enough to wound one robber and scare off the other men.

“It was all I had in my gun,” she explained. “I shot until I couldn’t shoot anymore.”

Pretty sure there's more to the story but..... I suppose there's no sense in her heading to walmart to buy some ammo these days. Or is it a case of "Nobody needs more than two rounds in their evil gun." type situation.

Two shots are better than none. Just ask Ms Hudgkins.

Maybe not. I walked into the middle of a strong armed robbery like this when I was in college. One young thug pounding on an old man sitting in his car while his two partners in crime kept the look out and discouraged intervention. I’ll never forget the sound of his skull cracking under the blows.

Pretty presuming of you, dont’cha think?

Perhaps they might have been pacified with 5 yarmakes. Or, a handful of broad-brimmed hats. Peace beads?

She only fired two rounds. She explained. “I shot until I couldn’t shoot anymore.”

Apparently she was using the New Texas Democrat approved two round magazine.

GUN CONTROL KILLS

Hudgins should sue the Democrat Party for disarming and victimizing her. Just as they try to sue gun makers, over a harmless object, Democrats should be jailed.

Guns are harmless. Many of you have gun objects that have harmed nothing.

Slant from the media will be: “NRA fan armed woman is a bully. Fought five men attacking her to rob her and scared them. Litigation from victims to follow says local prosecutor including PTSD.”

Hand cannon ad.

Note not available in Godforsaken Massachusetts, proud home of Elizabeth Warren, and uniparty Dem paradise of California. They don’t need guns——they have powerful heroic leadership to protect them. /sarc
