And Farmington Hills Police Chief William Dwyer, who dreaded a change in the law in 2001 to make it easier to receive a concealed weapons permit, admits that he's changing his mind about that law. I don't understand why someone in law enforcement would even consider disarming the noncriminals. They see the bad guys. You'd think they'd want us to protect ourselves. I guess it's because they don't visit the millions of decent people sleeping quietly in their homes at night, they see only the perps on the street.

"
Woman's gun may have saved her life"
What a strange title. How about "Woman defends herself with gun"? This is like those stories about how an "SUV goes out of control and hits a tree", or something like that.
People use objects. The objects don't, in this sense, use themselves. Is there a subtle bit of thought control going on here?

Most excellent. These perps have learned a lesson...if this isn't proof-positive for the Second Amendment, I don't know what is.
I work at 12 Mile and Halsted, about a mile away. If I knew who she was I would go and congratulate her personally.
Well, maybe not...she's got a gun.

"You'd think they'd want us to protect ourselves."First of all, the International Association of Chiefs of Police is a notorious anti-gun organization as are almost all administrator level cops. NOT the street cops usually, although that is changing. For the "Chiefs" it is indoctrination to the notion that a "police state" is the most crime free situation. Many fail to see beyond this to see the inherent evil of such a society.
Next, the reason that many MANY of the formerly pro-gun street cops are becoming anti-gun is that the old guard street cops who entered the force straight from the military are retiring and the new pups are increasingly products of recent public education and many have college degrees with even more anti-gun rhetoric inside their brainwashed noggins.
NOW, think of our military forces being products of public schools as well. I fear that the final barrier to preserve our freedom in case of a revolution is rapidly disappearing. We used to believe that in the event of a Clinton style usurption of the Constitution and a call to confiscate citizen guns by force (maybe even under color of law) that much of the military would split away from the tyrants and fight for freedom, for the Constitution. But when you intentionally fail to teach the Bill of Rights and the true meaning of the Constitution on a nationwide scale then you create a race of stupid automotons who will indeed kill citizens in the act of taking away their freedoms because they are only "following orders."

I just love the leftists who say that a 90 year old woman in a wheelchair just has to take karate classes in order to fend off a criminal, and that all women are too emotional and too likely to panic in an emergency to be trusted with a gun. I've even heard leftists say that a gun is a complicated mechanical thing that few women would be able to understand, so we need to ban guns in order to protect women from themselves. And don't forget that many (not all) leftists are rushing to defend societies that oppress women, as long as those socities are anti-American. It's amazing how the leftists sound like Archie Bunker when it suits their agenda.

With the World Wide Web showing the news to so many people, it will help if the media would include the State and not just the city.

"I felt my life was in trouble. The first instinct was to pull out my gun." The man turned tail and walked away, and the car pulled up to him near the roadway. He jumped in and they drove off.
No shots were fired.
But ... but ... but ... the VPC tells us that you can't use a gun to deter a crime without shooting someone! What gives?

What a strange title. How about "Woman defends herself with gun"? It is so ingrained in people's thinking that I doubt it is intentional. There is a core belief that people are just random bits of matter that react when encountering other random bits of matter, whether these other random bits of matter be an SUV or a tropical forest or other people. According to this theory, people do not act with intention or intelligence, they are just mindless robots that react the way their environment forces them to. This leads to a superstitious way of thinking where people are the helpless "victims" of "bad" things like guns, SUVs, etc.
