Sarah Brady warned that concealed carry would lead to a “”Wild West” scene in the streets. Liberals wailed about the potential loss of life and danger of guns in the hands of armed citizens.
Liberals actually worry about the elimination of the wrong person, that would be the perp. You’ve heard all the weepy crap.

Here’s one happy result.

Robber fatally shot in Miami Burger King holdup

A robbery at a Burger King in Miami’s Upper East Side neighborhood left one person dead and another seriously injured.

An afternoon shootout at a busy Burger King restaurant in Miami left a potential robber dead and the customer who shot him seriously wounded.
The bloody event unfolded about 4 p.m. Tuesday at the restaurant at Northeast 54th Street and Biscayne Boulevard. It was a time, employees said, when it is usually crowded with schoolchildren and people getting out of work early.
The robber entered wearing a ski mask. He approached a clerk, showed his gun and demanded money, said Miami police spokesman Jeff Giordano.
A customer eyed him and the two started arguing. The customer had a concealed-weapons permit and his gun — and the two exchanged gunfire.
The robber crumpled to the floor and was pronounced dead at the scene. [snip]

The only bit of stupidity I can find is the citizen argued with the perp. Two rounds in the hat and the citizen wouldn’t have received return fire, hence been wounded. Furthermore, he wouldn’t have endangered others in the restaurant with the errant gunfire by the dirtbag.

The scorecard reads: Concealed Carry—1, Gun Grabbers–0.

Now the wounded citizen needs to file a huge civil suit against the perp’s family and estate. Whether they have anything or not is immaterial; one can hope threats of retribution might force families to shoot the bastards before they commit crimes again.
I doubt this was the first trip down this illicit road. No matter, it was his last!

Victim Shot While Calling 911″

A California woman was shot to death as she pleaded with emergency dispatchers to come and help her. Her death will not make the network news programs this evening, but this is the latest reminder that we must take responsibility for our own safety and not rely on the police.

Bill Masters, a libertarian and sheriff of a Colorado county tells the residents of his county, “It is your responsibility to protect yourself and your family from criminals. If you rely on the government for protection, you are going to be at least disappointed and at worst injured or killed.”

Gun control puts honest citizens in the position of having to choose between protecting their lives or respecting the law. What kind of government would do such a thing?
More on gun control here and here.

The Second Amendment says the people have the right “to keep and bear arms.” Government officials, however, insist that they can make it a crime to keep and bear arms.
Open the newspaper, turn on the television, or surf the net, and you’ll find people saying the government can solve our problems and make life better.

This is the happy face of government:

Behind the happy face is an institution that is willing to strip of us of our right to self-defense, and, worse, deprive dying patients of life-saving drugs. Who do these politicians and bureaucrats think they are?
