Sometimes though for the wrong reasons. I taught a Concealed Carry Handgun class today. There was a woman and her son in class. She was alert, engaging, and possessed a wicked humor that I found refreshing.
On a break she calmly approached me in the "faculty smoking lounge" and whipped out a crime report. Her and her son's home was invaded while she was alone. Two males (I will not call them Men) entered. She ran and fought with one until the other pistol whipped her on the head. She removed the ball cap and showed me the result. That happened about three weeks ago. Then the beating really began. They ruptured internal stitches from a recent hysterectomy by beating her in the stomach. They tied her up and then proceed to rape her.
Her son finds her the next day STILL TIED UP.
I hear these stories occasionally. They rip my heart out.
I hope there is a special level of Hell for such vermin that committed this act. They are still on the loose.
I hear them too... and I guess that you... like me... that's part of why we do what we do as firearms and CCW instructors... it sure ain't for the money...

Dann, I don't do it for the money. In fact, you and I know the overhead is staggering. No matter. This made a difference. That is priceless.
DeleteI'm sure you taught her very well.
ReplyDeleteJust impress on her the need to keep your weapon close at hand, and LOADED!
Yep! Thanks drjim.
DeleteThing is, I don't want those guys to be shot. I want them pounded into pulp, conscious all the while. Then one of these can be applied: http://www.jayfisher.com/Cattleman_Petrified_Wood.htm
ReplyDeleteIndeed PH!
DeleteAll the cops, restraining orders etc. in the world would not prevent that. ONLY a gun in her hand... sigh
ReplyDeleteShe reached that conclusion. I will not ding her for getting there late. I don't think this will happen again to her.
DeleteThat's horrible. Death by fire ants is too good for those monsters.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jennifer.
DeleteJennifer is being gracious. A .22 LR up the backside and left to die of infection is a more fitting sentence.
