The mom is a hero.
I’m not in favor of the 2nd ammendment but I would be a liar if I said a gun didn’t come in handy here.
Good that the mom won’t face charges.
Here in Belgium she would have been charged with involuntary manslaughter.

Yesterday a juweler was robbed here in Belgium and the criminals fled away on a motor cycle. The jeweler went outside and pulled a gun. He hit one of the criminals in the back and the criminal died.
The jeweler was arrested for manslaughter because he protected his propriety and not his life.
Here in Belgium the law says you can protect your life but not your propriety.
The 2nd suspect was able to flee away while the jeweler was arrested and put in prison.
The whole country is furious here.

Of course CNN or MSNBC wouldn't pick this story up eh?

So conservatives out there with Twitter accounts tweet this story to the little fascist anti 2nd amendment mouthpiece David Hogg and remind him this is why law abiding citizens have guns

and this is an example of guns saving lives, particularly a two year old and 4 year old life.

God Bless Texas

true...in Texas, it's not legal, but we call it justified killing...same thing if someone breaks into our house, if our life or someones life is in danger, they label us killing them as justified...it's an open carry state...as long as you have a permit, you can take a gun just about anywhere..

are there gun free zones in Texas?

Of course there are Schools and many Restaurants and businesses will have a Sign at the front door where you are not allowed to take guns in with or without a permit..

Seems a lil crazy, every glove box has a weapon in it? pretty much


and STILL these idiots carjack?

There is news on every channel about the illegal Imigrants ! Especially the woman on the Statue.

That's what socialist are concerned about now!

One of the many reasons I've just renewed my Indiana carry permit. I've never carried it on me, personally. However, I do carry it in the armrest.

I think it's a perfect example of totally rational use of a privately owned firearm.

Shooting someone you're arguing with in a pub carpark is a completely different situation, or leaving a firearm laying around loaded so someone who shouldn't have access to it does and uses it, these are wholly other arguments about people who aren't mature enough to be given the responsibility of owning a firearm.

But as for rational ways of using them, assuming you are a mature, responsible owner, this story is a great one. It should be a lawful act in every country.

Totally agree. When not in the armrest of my car it resides in a Sears tool box with a four combination lock that only I know the combination. Leaving loaded firearms in a non-secure location is a complete lack of safety knowledge.

No offence Dave but I could rip one of them Sears tool boxes in under a minute. Armrests, Glovebox or sears Tool boxes are wayyyy not safe. just my opinion.

not sure... I just see signs on some businesses that say no firearms allowed, and I'm guessing the liberal corners have to have their safe zones...but I really don't know of any

there's absolutely no weapons allowed in pubs, bars,any place the serves alcohol...up to 10 years in prison and a 10,000 dollar fine... In Texas...

Not while I'm home you won't. When I leave it travels with me. On top of all this, only my children know I own a hand gun. This is something I don't advertise and, other than the city and state no one on mingle2 knows my address.

I'm curious, let's say you have a dentist appointment, you load up the weapon, grab your sunglasses and car keys, you put your weapon in your armrest for the drive. once you're there, it stays in the armrest for an hour unlocked?



Don't advertise your gun that's fine, i'd just assume everyone had 3 weapons on them, if I was a criminal

Modern day cars have locks!!!!!!!!!!!! and I always lock my car, ALWAYS, and I never use the electronic key fob, NEVER.

I can rip into your Ford in under a minute too!

Thank goodness you locked it in your glove box eh?

it's totally safe there, I approve this method

I don't own a Ford. Why are you so bent on stating your abilities to break into houses, tool boxes and cars? Are these your specialties in life?
