Man saves wife from violent robbers

Jul 28, 2011

A man hears a scream, gets his gun, and exits his bedroom to find three men, two holding guns to his wife's head. He shoots at them. He hits one and the other two run off.

This is typical of arm resistance. The bad guy ALWAYS gets the drop on the victim. That's why the victim IS the victim. But it doesn’t matter. Statistics, like this story, demonstrate that fighting back with a firearm is always the best response.

Some might say, "just give them what they want." But what if "what they want" is your life?
