Good Samaritan Saves Pregnant Woman From 3 Violent Armed Attackers
The Truth About Guns ^ | 06/23/18

Posted on 06/23/2018 11:04:44 AM PDT by Simon Green

This might be the picture-perfect civilian defensive gun use.

A pregnant pizza delivery driver was returning to her car after dropping off a pie in Southwest Atlanta. At that moment, three teenagers approached her and started demanding her keys. One of them was armed with a handgun and started beating her with it.

The woman didn’t surrender her keys, and instead ran in the direction of a neighboring house. The attackers caught up with her and attacked her again.

Dennis Madaris, a neighbor, heard the woman screaming and came out of his house gun in hand. As soon as he saw what was happening, he said, “Drop the gun or I will drop you.”

The three assailants immediately scattered, leaving the woman moderately injured – but she and the child will most likely be fine. The teenagers were later arrested and are being charged with a stack of offenses.

Interestingly, this incident comes 11 days after a similar occurrence on the same street. In that case, a 9-year-old boy lured a female pizza delivery driver to the area, where two men then stole her car at gunpoint. The pregnant woman was extremely lucky that Mr. Madaris was there to come to the rescue.

Yet another of the hundreds of thousands of defensive gun uses that happen every year in which no shot was fired. This is why we own guns.

Most likely happened in an Amish community.

“Obama sons?”

The two relevant words in this story are “Teens” and “Atlanta”.

They tell you all you need to know.

Agreed. Smoke them, then tell them to drop it!

Why not say blacks instead of Amish?

No question I would have shot at least one of them dead as midnight.

And then you would have spent the rest of the night in a police station giving a statement (probably numerous times).

Maybe you might be charged and have to make bail.

Maybe the teens gun was actually a replica in which case you might spend a year or more as a recurring story for the press to make a dart board of your face and name.

If they run and scatter it is better to let them go.

The last thing I want to do it kill someone if I don’t have to.

If they point a gun at me or they point it at the woman yes, I shoot them dead. It they turn and run I let them go.

I certainly don’t want to spend the rest of my life dwelling on the moment I had to kill a teenager.

Can’t arrest and jail them - that would be ripping them, from their mothers’ arms.....

In most states if you shoot someone in the back you are going to spend time in jail.

It is not worth it to me.
