Would you be saying that if a member of your family had been killed
today by a nut case using a gun?

saved by a good citizen carrying a privately owned gun?

Why it looks like just yesterday, thanks for asking!

http://www.nraila.org/armedcitizen/Default.aspx

Brian Blevins and his girlfriend were helping a friend move into an
apartment in Indianapolis, Ind., when Christopher Hampton approached the
group and asked if anyone had change for a $5 bill. Blevins told Hampton
that there was change in the apartment and invited him inside. Once inside,
Hampton drew a gun and attempted to rob Blevins. Blevins, a Right-to-Carry
permit holder, drew his own gun and shot and killed Hampton.

Indianapolis Police Sgt. Matthew Mount made it clear that charges against
Blevins are unlikely, stating, "Everything looks like it was an act of
self-defense." Hampton had been under GPS surveillance at the time of the
attempted robbery, having been arrested earlier in the month for home
invasion. (WRTV, Indianapolis, Ind. 04/19/10)

Yeah, I liked it when John Smith took a gun with him to his last stand
even though he said he was going to leave his fate in the hands of
God. Fucking hypocrites. If only Jesus had been packing at the Last
