News stories of civilian self-defense seldom receive adequate media coverage. After all, armed good guys stopping violent felons does not make headlines like the lives of innocents being taken. Bias and agendas play their part, but the media does not cover an event that did not happen, such as a case where a good guy stopped a violent event before it resulted in the loss of innocent life. However, these are exactly the type of stories we need to highlight to educate non gun owners before they head to the voting booth.
Gwinnett, GA – A Georgia woman did not stop to check the gun laws before firing upon 3 intruders.
As a gang of men forcefully entered her home, she rushed to her bedroom and immediately brandished a pistol.
The 3 perpetrators were surprised when bullets began to fly in both directions!
They expected Georgia gun regulations to discourage law-abiding citizens from arming themselves, making family homes soft targets. However, the thugs were met with a barrage of bullets, killing one and sending the others fleeing.
“She has every right to defend herself. She is to be commended for not only saving her life, but also the life of her roommate.”, said Gwinnett County Police spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera.
Guns save lives when in the hands of law-abiding citizens.
Here’s the video:
The 3 intruders bypassed a firearm carry law to terrorize Georgia residents, and likely were in possession of illegal firearms.id a firearm carry permit law prevent these goons from concealing their illegal pistols?
No.
A gun registry through universal background checks would not have deterred the criminals from trading black market firearms either.
Thankfully the law-abiding woman from Georgia was willing to go through the proper legal steps to arm herself.
