Shear stupidity is illiteracy.cltrat said:
"Guns are rarely used to kill criminals or stop crimes," claims the Violence Policy Center (VPC), led by longtime handgun-ban advocate Josh Sugarmann, formerly of the National Coalition to Ban Handguns. However, that's something the anti-gun group probably would have a hard time convincing former CNN Headline News anchor Lynne Russell and husband Chuck de Caro to believe. Tuesday night, Russell and de Caro, both carry permit holders, were attacked in their motel room during a robbery that turned into a gunfight. The anti-gun Washington Post reported that as de Caro tried to reason with the robber, Russell handed her purse to her husband, with a handgun concealed inside. When the robber opened fire, de Caro, an Army veteran, did so as well. "My husband returned fire," Russell said. "And he's a better shot." While de Caro was struck three times, the robber was killed. Fortunately, de Caro, whom Russell called her "hero," is recovering from his wounds. The VPC? Perhaps not so easily. De Caro's and Russell's use of a firearm to stop a crime is just another example that should give pause to anyone inclined to think there's even a shred of truth in what the VPC says.

Kansas' concealed-carry law took effect Jan. 1, 2007. On January 19, two armed men burst into a gas station owned by Dean Yee. According to police, they twice demanded money from Yee while holding him at gunpoint. A customer inside the store, however, had a concealed-carry permit. He shouted for the robbers to drop their weapons. When they refused, he shot one suspect before the other fled. Station owner Yee feels lucky to be alive. "I would have been shot in the chest," he told 27 News. Kansas Sen. Phil Journey, (R-Haysville) added, “Hopefully this will put other criminals and thugs on notice that Kansas is a different state today than it was just 20 days ago.” (The Topeka Capital Journal, Topeka, Kan., 1/23/2007)
A man was eating his lunch on a bench in Wooster Square Park in New Haven, Conn., when a robber armed with a knife approached and ordered, “Give me all your money, or I’ll stab you.” The man, a 65-year-old concealed-carry permit holder, drew his gun and shot the robber. The robber was taken to a local hospital and is expected to survive. The concealed-carry permit holder was interviewed by police, then released. (The Hartford Courant, Hartford, Conn., 4/27/2010)
