Concealed Gun Carrier Stopped Attack on Others by Man With Infected Hypodermic Needle

There are too many times in the US when their crazy gun laws have caused mayhem, thank goodness I live in the UK!
 

There are a lot of success stories out there SifuPhil, just not many get recognized by the media, so we hear very little of them. If somebody was about to stab me with an Aids infected needle, or slit my throat with a knife, or rape me in an alley, I would be blessed to have someone with a concealed carry come to my aid.
 
This happened in Houston last week. A woman said she hadn't carried her gun, which she had a permit to carry, in more than three years, when something told her to carry it that night. Later in the evening she came upon a man pointing a gun at a woman he was robbing. She pointed her gun at the robber, and he ran, but the police caught him. Turns out he only had a BB pistol.
I think we must come up with some think tanks on how to reverse the this mountain of crime before it kills us all.
 
First they need to crack down on the gangs, that would be a start anyway. Also, I think that tougher punishment for the criminals is a must, right now I think most of them just get a slap on the wrist, and they're out on the streets again doing the very same thing to someone else.
 
When they are sentenced, most get out early, in some situations they get a count of 2 days for 1. They say for good behaviour. Every time the murder of my oldest son come up for parole, I will spent days writing my reasons for wanting him to stay in prison for as long as the his plea deal called for.
 
I agree TG, open carry would be the best thing and probably more effective, but it is not permitted in many states, so concealed carry is the next best thing. I don't carry a gun with me, but I do have one in the home for protection if needed, so far I've never had to use it.

Recidivism is a HUGE problem. I cannot even begin to count how many times my wife and I are sitting at breakfast, watching the morning news and we hear of some crime committed by a freed, paroled, pardoned, probated, ...something felon. Our response is always the same. "What on earth is this low life doing walking around among normal people?" It just boggles my mind.

Keep in mind this lowlife is also armed and guaranteed to get the first shot off before you do with your cancelled weapon, all because guns are practically free to ANYONE that wants one.
These lowlifes are walking around simply because prisons are overcrowded,fix that problem first then complain.

I agree. I've even heard of a few cases where they "accidentally" let a prisoner free, because they misread the paperwork. Now that's a new one!

Nothing's guaranteed, a person who's trained to use his concealed carry weapon can easily get in the first shot if needed. Most street-guns have always been almost for free regarding criminals and street gangs, and that will remain the same regardless of whether the law-abiding citizen retains his right to own firearms.

One reason the prisons are overcrowded, is due to this bogus 'war on drugs' that just imprisons an average Joe who wants to use marijuana, etc. These poor schleps spend more time behind bars than the thieves, rapists and other hardened criminals. If there's such a war on drugs, then stop them from coming in over the Mexican border first and foremost, don't just slam the cuffs on the American who choose to use them recreationally.

The prisons are overcrowded because they are cash cows for the private companies that run them, and they have enough pull to lobby for laws that encourage incarceration for victimless crimes as well as serious ones. As SeaBreeze mentioned, the "war on drugs" is like Christmas morning for the prison owners.
 
not a media fan here, but in all fairness, police are not required to collect statistics on the incidents of weapons used in self defense, crime deterrence, or other good uses of weapons.
however the arrests for robbery etc. are. a reporter has no way of compiling meaningful pro-gun thus it is never mentioned in media events. Certain organizations, however, keep very good records, and they find these incidents out, by someone emailing them. Another reason is there is no report-- is to protect the person who has used the weapon legit. They have not committed a crime and therefore no public record can exist without, the reporting entity incurring what may become a defamation charge.

most criminals are not armed, if you look at the police records of ones that are picked up and police statistics. Ironically it is the anti-gun crowd that would lead you to believe this for the following reasons. Guns are free and easy to get. We need all guns registered because the criminals can buy them anywhere. Registration leads to fewer crimes.


weapon retention techniques, are cop domain, few perts would try to wrestle the gun from you, it would risk an accidental misfire, with an unknown outcome. they exist in the same world as martial artists concept of taking a gun away. its possible but unless your willing to die, really bad odds.

these are the reasons Florida has recently passed legislation allowing a warning shot to be fired, and many other states will follow this model
 
"Registration leads to fewer crimes"

Really? I've never seen any data, or analysis thereof, that would lead me to conclude that. What is your source for that?
 
I don't think registration leads to fewer crimes, because the criminals/gangs who get their guns off the streets never register them, and never will regardless of the laws.
 
I'm not say registration leads to fewer crimes, the anti-gun people use this endlessly, the original source is the Brady bill
