“The Oklahoma City Police Department says an 11-year-old girl shot a man who got into a fight with the child’s mom at a SE OKC mobile home Wednesday morning…. Five children were inside the home when the incident happened…. 25-year-old Leonard Demon Henry broke in through the glass door and began attacking his ex-girlfriend and stabbing her…. That’s when police say the victim’s young daughter shot him twice. Police say when they arrived, the found him running from the home with a gun shot wound.” [A stupid question for gun banners: What would the outcome have been if the young girl didn’t have a gun? Her mom would be dead, and there’s a good chance that some or all of the children would be dead or injured. Ban guns? You’re crazy.]

“Cynthia, a 47-year-old widow, realized that somebody was trying to break into her house one morning in May. She didn’t panic, didn’t back down and she didn’t go all Rambo either. Instead, she simply defended herself and police say she did everything right. She called 911, she armed herself with a gun she knew how to use and she retreated to the bathroom, hoping that help would arrive in time but knowing that if it didn’t she would just have to provide her own rescue. The 911 tape, released this morning, provides a chilling account of her encounter with Michael Lewis, who used a weeding tool to break the glass in the backyard Arcadia door of her west Phoenix home…. Lewis was hospitalized for a month. He’s pleaded guilty to burglary and aggravated assault and will be sentenced later this month and when he gets out, maybe he’ll think twice about breaking into somebody’s house. As for Cynthia, she told police that her late husband taught her how to handle her .38. Last week’s Arizona gun story, about a little girl and an Uzi, made international news. I wonder if this one, about a widow and an iron will, will get equal treatment. I’m guessing not and that is a shame….”
