Another moment of gun self defense...no shots fired, armed robber runs away. A woman uses gun to save herself.....

[2aguy]

We are told people never use their legal guns for self defense.....that this is just a myth....and yet...actual research shows that it happens a lot....and by a lot the research by the CDC shows about 1.1 million times a year....

As in most cases...the criminal runs away, since they aren't robbing people to get shot........here we have a woman, likely smaller than her attacker, who simply draws her gun and points it at the armed robber, and he runs away....

I originally saw this at Bearing Arms.....

The victim told police a man, later identified as Garland Adams, walked up to her and asked for money. When she didn’t give him money, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at her face, according to the probable cause affidavit.

The woman then backed up and pulled out a pink handgun of her own, reports said.

The man then fled on his bike.

Two people at a gas station nearby witnessed the incident.

Woman pulls out gun to thwart would-be robber

A man who pointed a gun at a woman after asking her for money, fled after she pulled out a gun of her own, according to court records. He is now facing one count of intimidation.

The woman, being a normal human being....did not shoot the criminal....as soon as he broke off the attack, she did not fire.......

The woman does not appear to be an off duty police officer.....she is not a Navy SEAL.......she used her gun to stop the robbery without firing a shot, without hitting, wounding or killing the attacker....

This is a fact that no gun control freak will ever acknowledge.

A gun does not have to be fired and no one has to be shot in any self defense with a firearm incident. The fact that so few people get shot and killed in self defense is proof that people who own and carry guns legally are exhibiting great restraint and not that violent crimes aren't happening or won;t happen.

There is no law abiding that legally owns and carries firearms because they want to shoot and kill people.

Suicide =guns. Once the trigger is pulled, there no going back.

The fence outside of my condo stopped 3 billion robberies last year. It never fired a shot either.

92K out of 330 million people

That's an extremely small percentage

Why a laser on the rail is a good idea. Blinding them is easier to clean up after than killing them.

92K per picture....about 1.2M people who supposedly fended off an invader with a gun.

If you're like most people, you don't know anyone who was in a shootout last year. You don't know anyone who knows anyone who was in a shootout last year.

It happens so infrequently that the OP can itemize every alleged defensive gun use. Yet every so often we get this hilarious claim that there is a gun defense several thousand times a day in this nation.

There should be 3,286 other stories about someone fighting off an attacker yesterday.... where are they?

Even the lowest estimates of DGU per year put the number over 500K

So no matter how you slice it more people use guns for self defense than get murdered by people using guns.

And even if there were ZERO DGUs per year that is no reason to make it harder for law abiding people to own and carry guns.

I've always said law abiding gun owners are a completely neutral factor in crime stats murder.

So now it's half. How hilarious. How come we don't hear about these 1,500+ defensive gun uses a day? There may be one instance a week that makes the news. Seems like these shoot-outs would be front page news.

I'm sure you'll make up some excuse. Hop to it.

How does that relate to the topic at hand?

Because no one wants to go through the hours and mountains of red tape involved in calling the police to report the DGU, then having to deal with an overzealous cop who confiscates the gun pending an investigation. After all, you just admitted to pulling your gun out in public, which triggers all kinds of questions. The assailant is gone, no one is hurt, no one has lost anything. Many would consider it better to just finish their evening and go home unharmed. Would you go through all that or prefer to be left alone? See, that's really what all this comes down to. Most of these people just want to be left alone.

And, as has been pointed out repeatedly, these aren't shoot-outs, they're potential victims demonstrating that they are armed and the assailant running off because whatever he was after isn't worth getting perforated.

You are deliberately being obtuse. You know full well these are not violent encounters, they are simply people serving notice to an assailant that they are armed. No fight, no shots fired, no one gets hurt, just communication sent and received.

And strangely seldom reported.

As predicted...a completely and thoroughly hilarious explanation.

Also a lot harder to pull off. You would have to hit their eyes, not an easy feat. I'm all for non-lethal forms of defense, but they have to be practical.

I'll put it to you. What would you do in that situation, go through all that or just go home in peace?

I'd probably tell the police that there is someone running around trying to terrorize the neighborhood. Gun owners probably are not as conscientious as I am though.

What would you do? Just let your fellow citizens find out on their own?
