A well armed society is a polite society.

[InvisibleChurch]

waiting for the howls of liberals who'll say that she should have called 911 instead

[exnavy]

Pardon me, is that a pistol in your pocket?

[guitfiddlist]

God bless her. Someday, we will be tracking these scumbags down BEFORE they have a chance to molest, rape, murder etc. And even Chris Rock knows what I'm talking about.

The rental car we have in Paris has special door locks: NONE! In order to meet the specification of certain EU countries, I'm not sure which, the doors cannot be locked while passengers are in the car. This is supposedly so that if there is an emergency, the emergency personnel will not be locked out of the car.

I hope that a few of the loony idiots who thought this up are dragged from their cars in the middle of the night. Of course, they probably have armed chauffeurs and don't have to worry about physical safety.

A well armed society is a polite society.

R.A. Heinlen is great! Here's my favorite quote:

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

"If you're going to shoot me then do it, 'cause I'm definitely going to kill you,"

NOW, take notice, having a handgun is real female empowerment.

[Feckless]

No shots fired. Holding a conversation with the scumbag! She may or may not have had training about how to use the gun but she certainly hasn't been told WHEN to use it.
Like a rape/attempted rape victim who won't ID the perp, she just sent this scumbag 2 blocks over to rob someone else when she could/should have sent him to hell.
Sorry, I'm glad she's safe but no applause from me.

[FrdmLvr]

No shots were fired.

Her only mistake.

[Fixit]

Sadly, she didn't pull the trigger.

[Fixit]

The headline says unarmed, yet the perp was never caught, so there is no proof that he was unarmed.

Typical liberal crap -- Headline completely unsupported by the facts, or even the article itself.

[Paleo Conservative]

Never bring fists to a gunfight.

I grew up about 2 miles east of where this incident occured. As a kid growing up in the Detroit area, my parents were adamant that "nothing good ever goes on south of 8 Mile Road.." (meaning: in Detroit). As kids we were admonished never to go into the city, even though for us it was a mere 1/2 mile away. To be fair, the parts of Detroit that bordered on my neighborhood were actually pretty good areas where a lot of folks who were required to maintain Detroit residency (cops, firefighters, etc) lived.

This area of Warren, which is my home town, where this attempted robbery occured is another matter entirely. Its an older neighborhood, lot of (forgive the term) hillbillies and food stamps. Rap singer Eminem's neighborhood (where his Ebay auctioned house is located) is about 4-6 blocks from this location.

Interestingly, my parents always said "Nothing good goes on south of 8 Mile Road.." and were assidious about locking the car doors when we crossed into Detroit (even in the days before "carjacking" was a word), but as a child I found it more instructive that my mom would lock all the car doors without saying a word to us kids when we drove into this particular part of our own city.

I tried to find the state where this happened and the only listing I found was the Michigan Lottery results.

It's interesting since Michigan is one of the last states to pass a Concealed Weapons law .

Woman Pulls Gun on Unarmed Assailant

The headline is inaccurate.

[Bluntpoint]

Oh my! Is this where we are at today? Where poor, unarmed assailants and possible rapists have guns drawn on them!

What next? Streets beaming with armed, unharrassed anti-victims?

Oh the humanity!!!

Surely there has to be another way?

Susan Sarandon, where are you when we need your leadership?

[Woahhs]

I wonder if there was an investigation of determine if this woman's handgun was of high enough quality. If she was fighting over six dollars, chances are it was an infamous "saturday nite special." In which case, she needs to be locked up for endangering innocent children with cheap handguns whose only purpose is to kill people.

Besides, it was just going to be turned on her anyway. </VPC regurgitation>

[Hacksaw]

Good job!

[Salvation]

**"If you're going to shoot me then do it, 'cause I'm definitely going to kill you," the brave resident replied, according to police reports.**

BTTT!

[wku man]

"He is described as a black male in his mid 20s, 6 feet tall, 165 pounds, wearing a blue skull cap and baggy blue jeans."

I can hear 'em screaming now..."Racial profiling! Racial profiling! That's not fair! That description could apply to half the population of Detroit!" I think the description says alot about who's commiting the crimes, at least here in the Tampa area.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Dr.Deth]

Sigh, another missed opportunity to help cleanse the gene pool. It makes me sad :(
