THE POSITIVE LIVE SAVING USES OF FIREARMS BY THE LAW ABIDING.
We have heard above how a 19 year old choose to misuse a firearm and take life.
Now hear of a 19 year old who used a
handgun, not to kill, but rather, to prevent the occurance of
criminal violence to herself and her loved ones and harmed no one, whatsoever, while
doing so.
Guns are not evil or dangerious, they are neutral tools. There are ,however,evil and dangerious gun possessors.
Some of whom, such as Diane Finestien, are even elected officials.
Carla McCoy, a then 19 year old college student,was at her parent's Covington, Georgia, home when she was allerted to a strange man attempting to enter the house through a window.
Miss McCoy grabbed a .38 revolver, called 911, and then went downstairs to investigate.
Reaching the living room, she encountered the intruder,who, at the sight of the revolver, begged her not to fire and immediately exited the residence from the same window he had entered.
Miss McCoy never even had to point the revolver at the frightened invader.
"I'm extreemly thankfull that nothing happened here," said the student's father.
" The fact that she was armed had something to do with that."
