2 Arrested, 1 Still Sought in Would-be Robbery

DUMFRIES, Va. - An armed woman who stayed home sick from work Wednesday turned out to be a would-be robber's worst nightmare.
Police say an alarm went off Wednesday in broad daylight in the 3300 block of Dondis Creek Drive in Dumfries, prompting the home's owner to her basement door where she found three men trying to get inside.

"When she confronts them, the men take off and one of them returned," said Officer Erika Hernandez, Prince William County (web | news) .

That is when the woman opened fire, striking the would-be robber in the upper body. Police caught him and he was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police later caught the second suspect, but are still looking for the third.

1. An article from January 14 2009 ???

What is the intent of the post? To inform about news events, or to find something that matches your ideas on gun ownership?

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

2. Recent discussions about women and firearms. Try and keep up.

3. try to keep up?

that is an assumption of path I think...

4. Just a little joke, lighten up.

There was some discussion about how gun owners all think of women as fragile little things in need of their protection, I am just posting some articles to show that women are perfectly capable of protecting themselves. Nothing nefarious.

10. Although I disagree with parts of the show.

Here are some strong women. And who needs a gun,
an axe or a bat, and room to swing it, is enough.

(note that I see these shows in metaphor they are not about violence in my view)

11. Well anyone being attacked by multiple people is better off with a firearm.

As are those who are too physically infirm to use a bat for protection. I always thought it a good idea to be at least as well armed as those seeking to hurt me. I avoid fights to the extreme but when someone else forces one on me I don't believe in a fair one. Just my take.

12. Well I was speaking in metaphor.

I believe people have the right to own guns because that is our laws, and nobody has changed it, nor has it been shown to breech social contract, since there are arguments both ways.

But I find no use for them personally. But I understand other people think differently.

13. Sorry the codeine cough syrup is kicking in, metaphor gets a little lost in the haze.

[RandomThoughts]

14. Metaphors always do, I think they are personal things to help

form thought and ideas on what is important to each individual. Since the same story can have millions of different metaphors. To me they seem to be a way to think on things more then actually important in themselves.

15. I'll have to read that in the morning.

5. How dare she!

How dare she use a gun to defend her home! Clearly it was unnecessary. She could have done a rain dance or sacrificed a chicken or something, anything other than use a gun to defend her home. Clearly we don't know what these three fine men were up to and certainly they meant her no harm, in fact they were probably just delivering freshly baked cookies! She's just a yahoo with a false sense of courage.

Can you guess who I am?

16. I would but I think that would be calling out another poster.
