Your point is what though, that all defensive gun uses are legit? Until I can come up with statistics and proof, let's hear your best guess. Out of every 100 reported DGUs, how many are false positives? Those would be the ones that were unnecessary or actually criminal. How many?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-70591645257839690162009-06-19T02:20:09.713+02:002009-06-19T02:20:09.713+02:00A 77-year-old Princeton woman faced down a man arm...A 77-year-old Princeton woman faced down a man armed with a sawed-off shotgun and sent him running after she pointed her own gun at him, according to court documents.<br /><br />Doris Gatchell’s daughter, Eileen Newman, said Monday that family members had since nicknamed their mother “Annie Oakley.”<br /><br />Suspect Dean T. Moore, who was arrested shortly after the Friday, June 12, incident, made his first appearance Monday in Washington County Superior Court. He faces up to 30 years in jail and fines of up to $50,000 on each of the two most serious charges of burglary with a firearm and robbery. He also has been charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, theft and criminal restraint. On Monday night, Moore remained in Washington County Jail unable to come up with the $15,000 bail set after his arrest.Thirdpowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886910076400873900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-65489903959916759192009-06-19T02:18:36.792+02:002009-06-19T02:18:36.792+02:00Police were called to the 500 block of Marconi to ...Police were called to the 500 block of Marconi to check on reports of shots fired about 10 p.m.<br /><br />Officers talked to a 44-year-old woman who said she was threatened by her live-in boyfriend. She said he was intoxicated and they were arguing in the bedroom.<br /><br />Her 24-year-old daughter lives next door and came over when she heard the commotion. At about the same time, the victim’s 22-year-old son showed up.<br /><br />The woman’s children arrived and found the suspect holding a knife to the woman’s throat.<br /><br />Both children asked the suspect to put the knife down and tried to get him to leave. He threatened them, and said they would all be dead before he left.<br /><br />The son left the room, came back with a handgun, and shot Warrior once in the left leg.<br /><br />The suspect was taken to the emergency room in a private vehicle, where police took him into custody and then to jail. His injury was not considered life threatening.<br /><br />The assault victim’s son does not face any charges for the incident because the shooting was considered self-defense.Thirdpowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886910076400873900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-68647449387794959872009-06-18T22:59:26.755+02:002009-06-18T22:59:26.755+02:00"The rule being tha many of these so-called d..."The rule being tha many of these so-called defensive shootings are nothing of the sort."<br /><br />And I'm sure you'll provide the statistical evidence to proof this assertion any century now.Thirdpowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886910076400873900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-29202233283600871052009-06-18T22:36:01.613+02:002009-06-18T22:36:01.613+02:00Fat White Man said "hese young punks that do ...Fat White Man said "hese young punks that do not respect their elders or betters."<br /><br />Their betters?

Perhaps the kid had even told him he would harm him. I don't know.<br /><br />There is a huge generation gap, especially between WWII-Korea era senior citizens and these young punks that do not respect their elders or betters. A kid growing up in the same place 60 years ago would not have behaved this way and if he did the result would have probably been the same.<br /><br />I saw a bumper sticker once that read: "Don't mess with old men, if they are too old to fight you they will just go ahead and kill you". Maybe that sticker needs released in Spanish.FatWhiteManhttp://www.fatwhiteman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-22813400320212634192009-06-18T14:17:54.020+02:002009-06-18T14:17:54.020+02:00"I seriously doubt if his life was in jeapord..."I seriously doubt if his life was in jeapordy."<br /><br />Take it you missed this part:<br /><br />"Herrera began walking toward the homeowner"<br /><br />He was going to give out free hugs, right?<br /><br />But you, w/o 'knowing what really happened here' play the race card and claim to know what the homeowners biases are. <br /><br />Or are you just projecting?Thirdpowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886910076400873900noreply@blogger.com
