Title: If a gun saves just one child's life........
Post by: JohnJacobH on May 20, 2007, 10:13:51 AM
Just a woman standing at a podium and talking.

 It is likely to be the most brutal video you will watch in some time.
Unfortunately, her name and story are not as well known as Mary McCarthy or Cindy Sheehan though her burden is
arguably as great or greater.

Best regards to all

From her letter to the North Carolina General Assembly:

May you stand before God and man as my two precious grandchildren's killer if you pass
any more gun legislation that will make me a felon should I own a handgun or any other gun for that matter.
Sincerely,

Mary Carpenter

That was a moving story. I had never heard it, but could feel the womans emotions in her words. Disturbing is the very least that could be said about the mental state of being that man was in.

Simply terrible.

Thank you very much for sharing that. I may have to post that to another board that I am on.

Definitely a story which should be crossposted everywhere to remind people exactly why the Second Amendment is an important cornerstone
of this country.

This story is almost unreal man. Disturbing sound so understated in this case but if it matters I was/am very disturbed over the video/story. I will be putting on a extra spare mag along with bumping up my 45acp to 45acp +P. As wrong as it sounds "some laws are made to brake" never was better stated. I dont care if that neighbor had to go Braveheart on the murderer, something is better than gutless.
thank you for the post

Maybe MB could talk to Michael Janich about "personal defence" with a sub $10 machette from Wallyworld or something to that effect. In any case something short of becoming Blade/Segal but anything more than "sorry buck-a-roo against the law" would be very cool 8)

thanks yall

Tragic.. and the thought of what that family has and will go through all of the rest of their lives, makes me sick to my stomach..
And mad! Don't forget mad...............
Mad at the ignorance of people who stupidly advocate to take our rights away!

Y'all know me by now, so I will stop there. :-X
Nuff said!
