Lancaster Woman Scares Off Bat-Wielding Attackers By Pulling Gun On Them

But then again, once you kill them, won't they be revived all over again? I'd settle for a flamethrower in that event.

Apparently you're supposed to shoot them in the head, but since that's probably a difficult target to hit outside of point blank range - you're probably better off with the baseball bat.

True, and on second thought if you were to use a flamethrower you'd have Obama all over you what with instructions to roast marshmallows and all...

Of course you'd also have public information posters about effective ways to deal with the infected - despite 40+ years of common knowledge about how you must destroy the brain. Double the money = double the outrage. Probably.

You just can't win.

They do, but a gun will do you little good when you're under the influence of rape drugs. Common sense, not guns, is far more likely to prevail in these situations.

So you are saying women only get raped after drinking

I guess he is saying there are degrees of rape. Maybe he should run for Senate on the Repub ticket. What an insensitive thing to say

So a woman can avoid rape, by using common sense ? I should report you. What an awful thing to say.

A whistle would have sufficed.

[JohnR! 5,495]

Not really. You are.

[JohnR! 5,495]

More spending. More public money used for education! Perish the thought!!!

The antis are all about the crimes committed with guns they never acknowledge the self defensive use of them, nor the DETERRENT use of firearms. Had Bloomberg had his way this lady would still be in the news, just the headline would be different.

I think you want people to confirm your preconceived ideas.

It just doesn't enter into your head that a society in which everyone has a gun might not be a great state of affairs.

[JohnR! 5,495]

You missed the point, by a long shot. Not acknowledging the self defensive [sic] use of guns would be as inane as using this copy to validate that every DT&H should CC at all times, which is precisely the objective of this thread.

Two sides of the same coin.

My ideas are that this woman had a force multiplier ...2 men with a baseball bat against a woman with a gun. The gun won out. It saved her from being gang raped and possibly dead. Because of her gun she will sleep peacefully tonight .No doubt she will sleep with it only a few feet away from her bedside....... peacefully

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I get it. You want to cherry pick stories that justify your preconceived opinion that everyone should carry a gun.

I just don't agree with it and I think you're being very dishonest by using the sensationalism of a story like this as justification.

Its inane, as the previous poster said.

[JohnR! 5,495]

Conversely, had they surprised her, instead of asking her to come with them; couldn't the gun possibly have been used against her?

Much too often we hear people say that guns don't kill people. People kill people. If you're to be honest with that premise, you really can't sing much praises to the gun in this story, for after all, it was the lady in question who should be commended by her brave action; the gun having played no part at all.

But if you ask John R the only women that get raped are the ones that don't use common sense
