CCW handgun used to save children

Post by gunluvinatty on Mon Jan 02, 2012 8:18 am

Shooting out a window is not the precise reason I carry a concealed handgun, but hey, it worked and it saved lives. Also note that the former police officer used his pocketknife to free the children from a seat belt.

With all the crap and negativity in the world and news today, it is so refreshing to see a story like this, with such a positive ending. Kudos to all those who stopped by to help, and thanks much for sharing this with us!

Funny how so often guns and knives are seen as dangerous weapons, yet here they were used to save lives. As usual, far more important is the intent and usage of them by the person who carries them.
