The Right to Bear Arms: Successes of the Week

Government would like to reduce the possession and use of arms in the US. They call this protecting its citizens. I call it a stupid and dangerous violation of the Second Amendment.

As a late night snack (it's past midnight), I present for your consideration this week's success stories where honest citizens who conceal carry, were able to stop crime cold. Remember, according to the second amendment, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Here are some reasons why.

From Ohio:

A would-be thief ended up in the hospital with a gunshot wound after a failed robbery attempt in Mt. Auburn overnight.

Police say the would-be robber, 20-year-old Anthony Walker of Corryville, approached two men at a home in the 120 block of Malvern Place and threatened them with a gun.

One of the men, who has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, reportedly shot Walker during the altercation.

Both of the intended victims then drove to the Cincinnati Police District One station and reported the incident.

Rescue crews transported Walker to University Hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound to the chest. He is now facing charges of aggravated robbery.

Drive slower guys. You didn't want to get to the police too quickly.

From Arkansas:

Three people have been arrested after a would-be victim stopped a robbery attempt on a Wal-Mart parking lot in Little Rock Monday night.

It happened around eleven o'clock at the store at 19301 Cantrell Road (Highway 10), when a woman was loading groceries into her car and was approached by a man holding a handgun. When the man grabbed her purse, the woman struggled with him before her husband pulled a weapon of his own from a holster and shot at the man four times.

The suspect then jumped into a waiting car with two other people inside and sped away. Within minutes, police located the man at UAMS in Little Rock, where he and two others were arrested.

The husband needs a little more shooting practice. Apparently, the would-be robber only got hit in his behind. My wife has no problem double tapping straight to the chest.

And from Miami:

The robber entered [the Burger King] wearing a ski mask. He approached a clerk, showed his gun and demanded money, said Miami police spokesman Jeff Giordano.

A customer eyed him and the two started arguing. The customer had a concealed-weapons permit and his gun -- and the two exchanged gunfire.

The robber crumpled to the floor and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The customer, with several gunshot wounds, was in serious but stable condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center.

The decision to conceal carry shouldn't be taken lightly. The customer did the right thing, putting his life on the line to protect the clerk and the other customers in a busy Burger King. I am happy he will live.

The Second Amendment is under attack by the same ideologues who would take away rights to free speech and the free exercise of religion. I urge you to support the NRA.
