12 Investigates: More Women Carrying Guns


http://www.nbc12.com/story/23874589/77- ... since-2005

The number of women carrying guns is reaching record highs nationwide.
Nearly one in four woman in the United States are packing heat, an increase of 77 percent in just a few years.

...More women than ever before are now packing heat. According to a Gallup Poll, in 2005, just 13% of women in the U.S. owned a gun. By 2011, 23% of women had a gun. That's a 77% increase in just 7 years.
"I wanted to start carrying for my protection. My kid's protection," said stay-at-home Louisa County mom Erin Albert.

Erin has two young boys. She's shot guns all her life, owned them for years but only recently got a permit to conceal carry.

"Women can't protect themselves as well without that force," said Erin. "Without that gun... I mean, you're on an equal playing ground if you have that gun," said Albert.

These women tell us protection is their top priority.

"If you're at a gas station and somebody tries to high jack your car with your kids in the back and they have a gun, you have to have a plan," say Albert.

"A man's not always going to be there for you. A lot of women are realizing, as sexual assaults increase, as murders and kidnappings increase, that you're not safe anywhere anymore," added Katherine.

Women are now dominating gun classes nationwide - and not just to learn how shoot or to get a permit...

And you think more women carrying guns is a good idea?

Really?

Sounds like a pretty brutal society to me.

Just a suggestion, let's take the men who make it necessary for women to carry guns and put them in jail.

Oh, are you worried that might include you? Hey, don't worry, I'm OK with it. Bye.

2 robbers shot dead by store owner's friend
No criminal charges expected to be filed against the shooter, District Attorney John T. Adams says


http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=518160

It began as the robbery of a city convenience store, and ended when a private citizen shot and killed the two robbers Monday, authorities said.

"These two men chose this store as their prize for the day, and it didn't work out very well," Berks County District Attorney John T. Adams said at a press conference Monday night.
Adams said he doesn't expect criminal charges to be filed against the man who shot the two robbers. Adams said the man, whom he described as a "concerned citizen," had a weapons permit and was within his legal rights to shoot the robbers...

Oddly enough what is perfectly legal self defense in PA, is impossible a few miles away in NJ because we can't get CCD's.

Much safer to live in PA where the law-abiding citizens haven't been effectively disarmed.

What, preemptively? Based on what, politics you don't like?

Given sufficient political clout, I have no doubt you would be remembered as one of history's monsters.

Yuppers...thereby illustrating why we need the 2nd amendment now more than ever. This intense barely concealed desire on the part of the left to "get" people they don't like, with government as their willing tool to accomplish it. Oh they so want to get their paws on all of our guns, then they can really punish the ones who "deserve it".

Please stop feeding the troll. He is only appealing to your dark side, desire for contention.

BREAKING: Guns & Ammo Fires Dick Metcalf for 2A Betrayal



Image

Our friend at the Military Arms Channel broke the story, but it looks like the anti-gun diatribe penned by Guns & Ammo editor Dick Metcalf [dissected by RF here] earned him a one way trip to the unemployment line. Editor Jim Bequette wrote a statement on the issue, and MAC got the scoop. You can see the original image at the link, or make the jump for the transcribed version

This is exactly what should have happened.

Dick Metcalf was right. G&A fired him to play CMA over the firestorm of contention that followed.

It is not an argument against the 2A to own that people should have safety training to get a CCD. The response to Metcalf was irresponsible, redneck hysteria.
