Here’s another example of concealed-carry permits being effective in everyday life. A woman in the Houston area experienced a traumatic event in which her concealed carry handgun came to the rescue.
A woman whose husband was being accosted by six men in a Houston area Denny's pulled her concealed carry handgun from her purse and opened fire on the robbers.
According to Click2Houston.com, the wife was in the restroom, and when she came out she saw her husband lying on the floor, the group of robbers nearby. Police say she then "pulled her gun and shot at them."
It appears the robbers shot back and police say there was a shootout. The robbers were apparently running as they shot.
"No bystanders or customers" in the restaurant were injured, and the robbers "fled the scene."
The brother of the robbery victim praised the woman for doing what she did and said, "Self-defense saved my brothers' life."
What more to lawmakers need to see in order to understand why concealed carry permits are so important to many Americans? Clearly both this woman’s life and her husband’s life were saved by her carrying a concealed weapon. With effective training in both the use and safety in owning a weapon, concealed carry permits can be extremely effective. This woman was able to bring down 6 robbers that could have potentially gotten away with the crime.
It’s easy enough to understand, except when it’s in a person’s best interest to not understand, than it’s impossible to teach.
When Momma’s not happy, nobody’s happy.
Way to go, Texas Lady!! Don’t mess with Texas!!
Got that right! You go, girl!!
We are all George Zimmerman.
We have to be.
I agree with the attitude, but think she needs more range practice. I don't see anywhere in the article that she actually HIT any of them.
Well done, Ma’am.
The anti-gun left would condemn the fact that a shootout resulted. It would matter not that a crime was stopped and that no one else was hurt. Yes, they really are that stupid.

Yes, but they were mere commoners. The self-appointed better people aren't comfortable with the idea of commoners having guns, especially not in public. Their fears trump the nation's civil rights.
Welcome to post-constitutional America.
Well, if it was 1921, she could got`em all with a tommygun, just like they used to do it before unconstitutional law of 1934 was enacted by crooks in Washington who said tommyguns were illegal for citizens to have because they might fall into the hands of criminals...That was their false justification.
Ending to this story much better than the one similar years ago in a Texas Luby’s ...before concealed carry. No firearms allowed, Twenty some odd persons lost their lives.
Good story, great outcome!!!
My understanding...
Is she a white Hispanic?
“....shot at them” , the article states. Definitely more range time is needed here. Thank goodness no innocent bystanders where shot.
Wait, wasn’t she supposed to inquire about the deep psychological pressures and childhood traumas that caused these poor boys to act out in this manner, before opening fire?
Indeed. “Don’t mess with Texas!”
Were the perps dumBO's sons, wearing hoodies, on their way home from their jobs in the patent office?
“I don’t see anywhere in the article that she actually HIT any of them.”
They started running so I suppose she was shooting in that direction but not aiming. I think I would have centered on one and tried to hit that one so there would be one down who could lead to the others (if he didn’t die from the wound). It would all depend on how fast they were running and the distance the bullet would travel. She had to react in a split second and she saved the husband so she did her job.
