TRUE STORY FROM "THE HOUSTON HERALD" NEWSPAPER IN HOUSTON, TEXAS

Last Thursday night around midnight, a woman from Houston, Texas, was
arrested, jailed, and charged with manslaughter for shooting a man 6
times in the back as he was running away with her purse.
The following Monday morning, the woman was called in front of the
arraignment judge, sworn in, and asked to explain her actions.
The woman replied, "I was standing at the corner bus stop for about 15
minutes, waiting for the bus to take me home after work. I am a
waitress at a local café, I was there alone, so I had my right hand on
my pistol. It was in my purse, that was hung over my left shoulder.
All of a sudden, I was being spun around hard to my left. As I caught
my balance, I saw a man running away from me with my purse. I looked down at my right hand and I saw that my fingers were wrapped tightly around my pistol.
The next thing I remember is saying out loud, "No way punk! You're
not stealing my pay check and tips!"
I raised my right hand, pointed my pistol at the man running away from
me with my purse, and squeezed the trigger of my pistol six times!
When asked by the arraignment judge, "Why did you shoot the man six
times?
The woman replied, under oath, "Because, when I pulled the trigger the
7th time, it only went click."
The woman was acquitted of all charges. And she was back at work at
the café, the next day!

Now THAT'S Gun Control !!
Texas sounds like a real good place to live!!!
