Good guy with his gun stops a rape...Should the woman have been raped?

For the anti gunners, the preferred option would be that the man not have his gun, and that the rape happens.....vs. the good guy with his concealed handgun stops the attack, without firing a shot, and the police later pick up the rapist.....

Good Guy with Gun Stops Sex Assault on Hiking Trail


According to The Blaze, Josh Williams, 39, nearly left his handgun at home when heading out to the hiking trail on a dark morning back in September, but he felt the nagging sensation that he should take it anyway. That turned out to be the right call because while on the trail at 5:30 a.m., Williams heard a woman scream loud enough to get past his music-blaring earbuds.

In the darkness, Williams shined his flashlight and discovered a woman being sexually assaulted and approached the perpetrator.

“I came up, pulled my gun and told him to get off of her,” Williams recalled. He then asked the man to get on his knees and asked to see his hands: “That way I knew he didn’t have a weapon. And at that point he was no threat, so I didn’t feel the need to shoot him.”

The perp ran away but thanks to a good description from both the victim and Williams, police were able to later apprehend 22-year-old Richard McEachern and charge him with sexual assault.

The victim was very glad Williams decided to carry that day and used a gun to save her from a dangerous situation. That was the first time Williams ever pointed his weapon at another person, but it confirmed for him the importance of the Second Amendment:

“It’s dark, and I don’t know what’s out there, so I have it to protect myself and other people. That’s what it’s all about anyway — to help other people with it, not just myself.

“I didn’t think I’d ever have to pull it. Did I want to? No, not at all. But just … right place, right time.”

Don't you now that it's better a woman gets raped than have a piece of shit rapist get shot?

Apparently it is.

For the anti gun brigade at least. They've got their priorities all wrong.

Oh brother...this argument is a fail...Good for the person who stopped it, and he didn't need an assault weapon did he?

The shithead sexual assaulter has a long criminal history. This is why we carry every day.

There is no such thing as an assault weapon. But if you are trying to stop a killer with a rifle then you better have an assault rifle or hunting rifle.

But lets see, wouldn't an Assault Weapon be something you assault someone with? I got hit with a brick once. I must have been an assault brick. It had nothing to do with the sorry ass illegal mexican that threw it.
