An even more anecdotal story about this shooting would be:
Good Guys 1 - Bad Guys 0. The End!

Blam!

It's a tough game to play, "You Bet Your Life." Often there is no trip to the semi-finals.

"Anecdotal stories like this don't necessarily make up good policy. To say that because one individual may have used his gun in self-defense in this case doesn't necessarily mean anything about gun policy. It tells you very little," said Matt Bennett, spokesman for Americans for Gun Safety.

Man, I've been waiting to use this line back on the liberals for so long: "If it saves just one life...it's worth it."

"Gun laws should not be based on one event, either tragic gun shootings or instances of self-defense like this," Bennett said.

Tragic gun shootings? Doesn't this creep mean "tragic shootings?" Does AGS really think the more they use the word "gun," the more America will reject the NRA?

"But a group favoring restrictions on gun ownership cautioned that this one incident should not be used to draw conclusions on gun laws or to heap praise on any individuals."

The conclusion I draw is that some gun law allowed this man to protect himself and to rid the world of a predator. The 'individual' was not looking for praise - he was looking for self-protection, and because of a 'gun law' he was able to do so.

Aren't we always hearing: "If this blah blah saves only one blah blah, it is worth it." Well this 'one incident', because of some gun law, saved someone ----- and that's good enough for me.

So there!!!

AND cash-strapped Tennessee was saved the expenses of trying and incarcerating the carjacker: BJ Brown should get an award from the Tennessee Treasury Department.
