TAMPA, FL -- A Tampa woman refused to be a carjacking victim when she was approached by an armed man who jumped into her car on Thursday.
The woman, who only wants to be identified as Adrianna, pulled out her own gun. "I just leaned forward and punched him in the forehead with my gun," she said. The man "screamed like a girl and almost dropped his gun" as he ran away, she added.
Tampa Police have arrested one suspect so far in what they see as a pattern of carjackings. A-Keem Carr was arrested on related charges, but two others are believed to be preying on motorists in the Westshore area.

Apparently, Zero and his Liberal/RINO cohorts in the US Congress would prefer the bad guys to have guns and law-abiding Americans, like this woman, to not be able to protect herself.
Read HR45 if you don’t believe that!!!
I propose that Zero and each member of Congress not have any law enforcement protection and to live like the rest of Americans defenseless like they want us to be.

Always remember that every violent criminal you *don’t* ventilate is going to be an expensive drain on the public purse if they are captured.
Just one group of acute abdominal bullet holes could save the taxpayers up to $100,000 a year.

People ask me why I carry a gun. I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.
I would have pulled the trigger on this punk and let the air out of him.

Reminds me of the woman in Detroit a few years ago who beat her carjacker with “The Club”. I thought she would have made a great spokesperson for their product.

In addition, think of all the future victims you will save.

seems to me that woman made a dumb move and is lucky to be alive. I don’t think it’s wise to give second chances to criminals pointing guns at you.

If you don't squeeze the trigger, you're hitting him in the wrong place, with the wrong parts.
Attacking with a gun, and not firing it just turns it into an expensive and poorly designed club.
Now, THIS is an effective club...
I'm gonna knock yo' head CLEAN OFF!
