Robbing a gun store? Darwin awards for those two.
Robbed a gun shop? And who thought that would work out for them?
Yeah the hoodies were a dead giveaway and momma knew to have her gun hand ready. Too bad she didn’t kill one or both animals. Nice shooting though considering the moving targets
Took a little searching to find just where this Springfield is. I swear, I think every doggone state in the union has a city/town named Springfield.
I am probably going against the grain here, but I am glad Shirley Cornett did not kill one of the little pukes.
Right or wrong, taking a human life weighs very heavy on your conscience.
Good shooting Mrs Cornett.
She *might* have made a common error that every gun defender needs to be aware of. When you fire, keep firing. That is, the natural tendency is to fire a round, then pause while looking to see what happened. Do not do this.
She did put a bullet in him, but in that fraction of a second when she should have fired again, she might have paused, giving him a chance to shoot back. And had those books not been there, her injury would have been much worse, even fatal.
This is why when police get in a gunfight, they are trained to keep shooting without even thinking about it. Of course this often looks bad, after the fact, but the police are still alive, and the other gunman is dead or severely wounded.
marcus & leon? ‘Nuff said.
Marcus and Leon tried to rob Shirley and Clint
I would have used different tactics. Two hooded punks enter your gun shop? I’m getting ready...not asking them “How may I help you?”
The lady needs a handgun shooting course or two. She’s clearly self-trained—one handed shooting, not raising the firearm to aim (even point shooting under these circumstances incorporates “aiming”), and terrible trigger discipline (not managing recoil did not help).
She appears to quit—take cover but lose track of the threat.
Some might say, “you are harsh”, “have you ever been in a gun fight”, “you weren’t there.” No. No. No. I plan to learn from her mistakes and survive my gun fight, if and when. I hope she critically looks at what went down and prepares for the next encounter.
You mess with RedNeck Arkies at your own risk they don’t cotten to no gun laws when it counts.
Obviously these children were victims of racial profiling.
If these had been white guys in hoods, she would never have gotten a shot off before they killed her and her husband.
Hmmm a .38
If I was there and knowing that I wouldn’t need to carry concealed, I would have the largest caliber possible that I felt I could comfortably fire. Maybe in her case that is a .38 revolver. But how about going up a notch to .357 (or at least .38+p+), just make sure the revolver is rated for that.
I ever end up on Springdale’s FD, I know where I’ll be doing my gun and ammo business at.
