Interesting that a police officer would have been cleaning a loaded gun... hmmm... Darwin Awards, anyone?

How do you shoot yourself removing a gun from a car?

Was the shooting instructor shot by someone else?


These stories are actual news in Houston. Another is of two would be burglers running for their lives and the next door neighbor blowing them away with rifle blasts to the back. He had 911 on the line as he shot. No charges so far.

I guess the rest of us are safer and better off
for his efforts. We owe him gratitude.

Maybe the City of Houston
and State of Texas shud grant him tax relief
for a few years, in thanks for his estimable efforts.

As a woman, I never would carry a gun, and I never would want
one in my house either.

I have a brain, I have a spine and I have guts! That's plenty sufficient!

Well, WE ARE, right ?

How many crimes will thay NOT be able to commit,
as a result of our Houston friend 's ministrations ?

How many DVD recorders will thay NOT be able to steal ?

At least have the decency to send him a thank u note, with a few $$.
( What wud Emily Post or Dorothy Manners say ? )

What kind of an answer is that? Having 10+ people burst into your
home and ready to kill you, then no gun in the world is going to save
you. Besides, Sharon Tate was stabbed to death, not gunned down.

There was a lady in Florida, Susan Gonzales, who feared n detested guns.
She requested her husband not to have any guns in their house,
especially with their children there. One night, 2 criminals broke down their front door.
They entered her home, shot Mrs. Gonzales twice, and shot her husband
as he lay in his bed. Franticly, she scrambled to get the OBJECT OF ABHORENCE:
her husband's 9 shot .22 caliber revolver.

She grabbed it up and killed one of the criminals.
The other one fled, after she shot him too.
Altho it is possible that the criminals might have allowed Mrs. Gonzales' children to live
(if they did not care that the children'd complain to the police and testify against them in court)
Mrs. G was not willing to confide the lives of her children to the discretion of the men
who just shot both of their parents.

We need to understand that this attack was STOPPED
by the presence of an UNLOCKED gun in the home.
Without it, the murders of the parents and children probably would have contined
until all the children were dead.
That gun was the INSTRUMENT OF LIFE for the Gonzales family.

After hospitalization, the Gonzaleses recovered from their wounds.
She became a public speaker in support of the right to keep and bear arms,
and takes her .38 Taurus revolver everywhere with her.

Wise is he who learns from his mistakes,
but wiser is he who learns from the mistakes of others.

So my semi-automatic M-1 Carbines with 30-round magazines
wud not be appropriate ??
Please explain.

In actual fact, as soon as violent resistance were encountered,
thay 'd flee the scene; thay 'd literally run for their lives, en mass

Even assuming a worst case scenario,
wherein thay persisted in their murderous home invasion,
in the face of defensive gunfire: do u deny
that it is better to kill some of them,
and injure others,
before thay kill u ?
( see my post concerning Susan Gonzales' defense of her home
from 2 attempted murderers, after thay shot her and her husband,
set forth hereinabove; comment on that ?
)

Sharon cud have advised the Manson Gang:
" Don 't take a knife to a gun fight ! " for future reference,
as she blazed away on them.
Don 't u think ?

( She cud 've made a movie about that, after surviving.
Call it the " Manson Movie ", but surviving is important; it shud not be underrated. )

The toddler pulled the gun out of his mother's purse and blew out the guts of his sister.

I think it is lucky she had a gun, and as a separate issue, that she is unfortunately (for her) an easily frightened woman.

As I've previously said, the US has different circumstances than Australia, and I am neither for nor against gun control there...hmmm, let me rephrase that - I am neither for nor against a person in the US possessing a firearm, but at the very least, should they have one, I think it should be registered and the type of firearm limited (eg no automatic /assault rifles/silencers etc)

It is my opinion that the US would have to go through a lot of pain & death over a long period in order to have proper gun control (it would have to be nationally, and it may not even be over there with the number of firearms already present)...so the question arises if it's even worthwhile attempting to have proper gun control.
