Man Fires At Men Who Tried To Hit Him With A Car

http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2014/06/16/columbus-whitethorne-chase.html

Officers say 24-year-old William C. Evans got out of the car and approached the victim.

Meanwhile, police say the driver, 27-year-old James B. Duncan, drove onto the grass and tried to hit the victim.

The victim pulled a handgun from his waistband and fired a shot at the car, hitting the windshield.

Police say that is when Evans got back into the car and the two suspects sped off.

Another good example of trouble not making an appointment, and why it's important to carry and prepare for your own self defense.

Let's see some gun control favorite fables/religious myths ...

"Innocent bystanders will get shot up by a concealed carry holder if they draw their gun" Any examples of that happening on a regular basis? With almost 20 million permit holders it must be a regular occurrence, right?

"How will the police know who the good guy is, you're as likely to be shot as the criminal." Granted, the police wind up shooting a lot of innocent people, but any concealed carry holders in that group? A few examples, how about one?

Must be frustrating to live in a "would'a" "could'a" world where no gun control can get passed in the Senate.

there is always the GCRA group. You would be about the 5th person to post there on a regular basis.

Was the guy walking on his way to a Randy Weaver support rally at the local Chuck E Cheese and did he have 3 or 4 gunz stuffed into his pants?
