Using guns for self defense during crimes

Here’s what we know

I had a guy who felt I cut him off try to chase me down with a gun and I sped away and eventually the police stopped us and they put me on the ground with a gun to my head and said I should have called the police. If I stopped to call the police I would have been shot. They let him go and searched my car because the guy said I aimed a gun at him but I don't even own a gun. Another times years before that a guy who was mentally disturbed made me crash into him and he got a shotgun out and I drove through his door and got away. Ppl can be insane. Good idea to be armed because you cant reason with insane ppl

My Black azz ALWAYS carries my LEGALLY obtained gun everywhere I go and I do it to protect myself from the biggest threat to us POC, as the Dems calls, which is other people who look like me. Mass shooters with a Lefty leaning ideology is my 2nd concern…and yep sorry to burst your bubble but most mass shooters do have a Lefty mindset / ideology…which makes Leftism another threat. When they say mass shooters be mentally ill, it is all true, most of them brainwashed with BS Lefty garbage and crazy Lib BS no matter what race they is.

DA will charge u with murder.

Critical Mass says:

The majority of guns get used on loved ones and someone the shooter knows. Just saying.

Atlas Reburdened says:

Suddenly the slanted news acknowledges the use of guns for self defense?
For the last 40 years the statistics have been clear on this. Guns are used 10 times more often in defense situations than in the commission of crimes, but still the government wants to disarm us and the leftist nematodes drool at the idea of it.
And now what? The lefty Houston local news wants us to forget that they've pushed that agenda for the last decade? Now they was a free pass because they're suddenly speaking a modicum of truth.
I would say get bent, but I know you lot enjoy that.

After uvalde imagine trusting the police with your personal safety or that of others

billybodybuilder says:

As an Australian i wish we had this right too ,, only weapons we can legally own are long single firing rifles.. (i have 3) However , criminals seem to have pistols that an average citizen can't get hold of .. The only positive from the banning / buy back of military assault rifles & pistols is that the last mass shooting was in the 90's. There's been over 300 just this year in the USA so YES , arm yourselves & do all the safety training too.

Buy a gun carry a gun learn how and when to use a gun and defend yourself it’s that easy. You can’t pull it and use it cause your feelings are hurt cause someone cut you off on the highway or something avoidable but when your life is threatened

Donald Hager says:

That police chief needs to resign

Brian Glass says:

Don't forget you still may get shot after they rob you

Tikur Anbesa says:

Is y I said we have a half way decent justice system SOMETIMES but it really NEEDS work BECAUSE I know plenty of felons with guns that would never do a mass shooting but can't LEGALLY have them. But its plenty of none felons who can buy them and did all the mass shootings. THINGS need to change

Tikur Anbesa says:

The other day I talk to a guy who is a habitual felon told me he still carries cause he NEEDS to stay alive and that people shouldn't fear him having a gun BECAUSE he would be the gun who would save ur family member in Walmart from a mass shooter cause he busting back at him

Tikur Anbesa says:

Also look at what HAPPENED to the RECENT murder of THOSE poor INNOCENT children and teachers by that evil 18 demon. The police where to afraid to even go after him WHICH I'm sure costed more PEOPLE there lives. I even say that those who are felons who either are none violent offenders or who are more wiser now and are reformed. SHOULD start getting non lethal guns like the Byrna HD and SD.

Hector Ramirez says:

The chief is a moron, police are no help anymore, every American citizen has the right to defend themselves. Just remember the police aren't your friends, they are going to try to prosecute you for practicing your rights.

Jason says:

What's scary isn't so much the armed criminals that were stopped; it's what the people who defended themselves and others will face against some dirt bag prosecutor. How any one can defend a suspect that's armed and committing a crime with the ability to cause lethal damage being met with equal and successful opposition from the victim baffles me and makes it more frightening to actually defend myself, my family or others.

Cowboy Ken says:

The only good criminal is in prison or just find a tall tree both work

Tikur Anbesa says:

I'm so embarrassed as a black man to heard another black man in high AUTHORITY saying something so stupid and foolish. Sounds like he thinks the police SHOULD be the only ones armed. Obviously he must have some strong LIBERAL views when it COMES to guns. Talking about u as a citizen having a gun could make THINGS worse. I doubt it. Not having a gun could make THINGS much worse than having one. Having ur own PROTECTION against a criminal gunman is best. Talking about it could go either way. I'm so ASHAMED of this brother for the THINGS he just said.
