The War on Guns: This Did Not Go Down as Planned

The War on Guns: This Did Not Go Down as Planned



Miracle said she was leaving the Circle K near 59th Avenue and Camelback Road with her family early Monday morning when the suspect, Frank Taylor , tried to bum a cigarette. She told him that she didn’t have one, and then seconds later, Miracle said, she could feel the barrel of the gun against her skin.

“He put the gun up to my neck and said, ‘It’s loaded, don’t move,’” Miracle said. ”I think he thought, ‘She’s a little girl. Maybe she doesn’t know how to use her weapon.’”

Miracle said, “I dropped my soda, released my gun from my holster and cocked it. I shot him and ran in the opposite direction."



She was carrying in condition 3, loaded magazine and empty chamber. With a small child, this is a pretty good idea. She was well trained to be able to go from victim to winner. Dropping her drink distracted the bad guy just long enough for her to take action.



According to Bloomberg's mommy minion, Shannon, this never happens. I guess miss Miricle didn't get the memo. 



I prefer to carry in condition 1. My current carry gun is a double/single action Ruger P95. Loaded chamber, 15 rounds in the box and hammer down. When I carry a 1911, loaded chamber, hammer back and safety on. Col. Cooper would be proud.
