If you have not heard the story of Susan Buxton, go here to listen to the 911 tape. Susan Buxton is a grandmother in Texas who successfully defended herself with a handgun. She is the official "Pistol Packin' Grandma" of the Sean Hannity Show. Here is the gist of her story:
1. Susan Buxton got up at 1 a.m. to let her dog out. She noticed a broken window, and some other thing amiss in her house.
2. Susan, who has a concealed carry permit for her 38 revolver, and is train to use it, started to search her house along with her grand daughter.
3. During the search, a bad guy running from the cops jumped out of her closet. Susan pointed her gun at the bad guy, and ordered him to the ground while the grand daughter called 911.
4. The bad guy made the mistake of trying to grab Susan's gun. She shot him in the leg (which happens to be where she aimed for).
5. The bad guy exited the house to the front lawn, where Susan tried to keep him from running while the cops were on their way.
6. When the bad guy started to run, Susan shot the ground next to him, knowing she did not have the right to actually shoot him again. It didn't work, and the coward was found two doors down cowering on a balcony.
Folks, the cheapest and most effective way to reduce crime is the increase of responsible gun ownership by law abiding citizens. Susan Buxton had her gun for 12 years, and never had to use it. She could have become complacent after a few years and not stayed proficient in the use of her weapon, but instead she practiced regularly. It paid off, and she lived to tell about it. Kudos to her.
