Looking at Lulu Campbell’s bullet-riddled silver Toyota Tundra, common sense says the 57-year-old grandmother should be dead.
......
“(Spencer) shouted, ‘Give me the f------ money and open the f------ door!’ ” Campbell said. “I said, ‘Oh my God, somebody is going to rob me.’ I said, ‘Baby, you’re going to kill me anyway, so I don’t have to open it!’ ”
Campbell said she reached for her .38-caliber revolver just as Spencer allegedly fired at her. She felt Spencer’s bullet whiz by her chest as she fired back. Her shot hit Spencer in the chest.
......
At that point, according to Campbell and the police report, Shivers allegedly started shooting at her. As she ducked, she said she fired wildly in front of the truck, forcing the second gunman to flee. Campbell said she didn’t consciously realize that she fired at Shivers until police later told her she did.
......
After police released photographs of the two suspects, Campbell recognized them as regular customers at one of her stores.Just as in the last story I blogged about a grandmother who defended herself with a gun, there's no way this 4'11", 57-year-old lady could have defended herself from two men in their early 30s without a gun. Gun-grabbing, anti-2nd Amendment "Liberals" want to ensure with 100% certainty that law abiding people like Mrs. Campbell can't defend themselves.
They'll claim that's false, of course. They'll claim they want to keep guns out of the hands of people like Dantre Horatio Shivers.
Let's actually give that some critical, logical thought.
- It's already illegal for convicted criminals like Shivers and his accomplice to own - much less carry - guns. Making it even more illegaler won't convince two men who are willing to rob at gun point and shoot at a 4'11", 57-year-old granny that they should suddenly respect the law.
- Let's suppose gun laws actually kept guns out of criminals' hands. Suppose Shivers and his accomplice were armed with baseball bats or crowbars. How would Mrs. Campbell have defended herself without a gun?
Taking guns away from law abiding people benefits criminals like Shivers and places people like Mrs. Campbell at greater risk.
