If Only They Had A Gun

Deputies said that a criminal entered a home in the 9200 block of Linda Rio Drive in Sacramento, CA during the early-morning hours of Aug. 23. When the 28-year-old man living inside the home woke up, the robber confronted him with a knife and stabbed the man before leaving. The victim suffered serious wounds and was taken to a hospital. Deputies said the robber may have also committed an armed robbery at the nearby Larchmont Park just prior to the home invasion. More information here.

In the above situation, and countless others, innocent people have been harmed by the action of a criminal. Had there been an armed, law abiding citizen in the area, tragedy may very well have been averted. Americans use guns for self defense every 13 seconds, and that is perhaps the best reason to have a gun. These people are certainly glad they had a gun for self defense.
