The AR-15 is a great, civilian self defense rifle....which is why the police have them in their cars in most towns and cities........this man used his AR-15 to save a woman life....
No Shots Were Fired.....
I repeat....
No shots were fired....the criminal fled.....as happens in most of the 1,500,000 defensive gun uses in this country every year......
And that AR-15 is one of 8 million in private hands that was not used in a crime, but to save a life...
GOOD MAN WITH A GUN: Man With AR-15 Saves Neighbor From Stabbing Attack
I poked my head out the door. There was a pool of blood, blood was everywhere in the hall. There was still a confrontation going on, there were about three or four people involved at this point. So I ran back into my house and grabbed my AR-15. I grabbed the AR-15 over my handgun — bigger gun, I think a little bit more of an intimidation factor. Definitely played a part in him actually stopping.
The assailant was only free for a short time before he was apprehended; the stabbing victim was taken to the hospital. According to police, Thomas has a valid firearm owner's identification card and a concealed carry permit.
Thomas added, "The AR-15 is my weapon of choice for home protection. It's light, it's maneuverable. If you train and know how to use it properly, it's not dangerous. And this is just a perfect example of good guy with an AR-15 stopped a bad guy with a knife. And there were no lives taken, so all in all it was a good day.”
