Lancaster Woman Scares Off Bat-Wielding Attackers By Pulling Gun On Them
LANCASTER, Ohio - It happened along a walking path in Lancaster.
Dinah Burns is licensed to carry a concealed gun, but she'd only recently started taking her weapon while walking her dog.
Based on what happened, it looks like she'll make a point of carrying from now on.
"I think if they'd gotten any closer, I probably would have fired,” said Burns.
It was Monday when Burns was on a footpath near Sanderson Elementary School.
"Two gentlemen came out of the woods, one holding a baseball bat, and said 'You're coming with us'."
The men weren't deterred by Dinah's dog Gracie.
"I said, 'Well, what do you want?,' and as I was saying that I reached in to my pocket and slipped my gun out, slipped the safety off as I pulled it out. As I was doing that the other gentleman came toward me and raised the baseball bat. And, I pointed the gun at them and said, 'I have this and I'm not afraid to use it.'"
The men took off and so far have eluded police. Dinah posted about the incident on Facebook to alert friends and neighbors, to criticism by some.
"Most of the males' opinion was, 'Why didn't you shoot them?'"
Easy to second-guess a decision made under pressure, based on her concealed carry training, and police agree.
"To get out of a situation, back out, get out of it as much as you can without having to discharge your firearm."
"I will say it's a good thing to go from a place of danger to a place of safety, however you get that done,” said Sgt. Matt Chambers, Lancaster Police.
"Very thankful that it turned out the way it did, and hope it doesn't happen again, but I will be prepared."

What I want you to know on Gun Violence Awareness Day
I correctly listened to my instincts; I had a feeling that my life was in danger in that elevator and prepared myself mentally for what was potentially to come.
I ran to my car in an attempt to escape and, before I could even get my entire body in my car, I was tackled by my attacker.
This man quickly overpowered me, stabbed at me with a knife, clamped his hand over my mouth multiple times, and repeatedly tried forcing me in the passenger seat of my car while telling me, “We’re going.”
The entire time this was happening, a rusted, serrated knife was being stabbed towards my abdomen and held at my face.
I had been hit in the face, thrown over my driver’s side console, and had rips in my tights from his hands trying to force my legs up and over into the passenger seat.
There are some individuals that think gun owners are “trigger happy” and wanting to pull their weapons out at the first opportunity. There is nothing further from the truth.
The night I was attacked, I fought like hell for my life before reaching for my gun. I kicked, I screamed, I had all ten fingernails ripped off and bloodied from scratching and trying to fight my way out of a literal life and death situation.
Ultimately, I accessed my gun, shot my attacker multiple times, and saved my life. He will be spending years in prison for what he did to me.
Using a gun in self-protection is not a decision one makes lightly; in fact, I never dreamed that I would be forced into a situation where I would have to do so. However, I also never imagined such evil existing in the world so that I would be powerless, wounded, on my back and unable to physically force my attacker off of me.
I owned a gun and had been trained on how to use it. I know how to safely carry and that a gun is a serious and significant weapon; it is not to be used carelessly. Naysayers and people with opposing opinions may try to undermine my situation with hypotheticals. I cannot answer these questions. All I can do is tell the facts of my story and the true account of how I saved my own life.
What I want you to know on Gun Awareness Day is that a gun in the hands of a potential victim is not improperly placed; it can be the only thing keeping her from being brutally raped and murdered.
Without my gun, I would not be alive today.
Guns are not the problem in America; men like my attacker -- who are willing to violently change one person’s life for no reason except for pure evil – are the problem.
Be safe at all times. Be aware of your surroundings. Trust your instincts. Always be able to protect yourself. Refuse to be a victim, and instead be a fighter and a survivor. Live to tell your tale and make a criminal regret the day he chose you as a “soft target.” My gun saved my life, and one could save yours too.

Waking up to an armed intruder in your house would be any home owner’s worst nightmare. If you’re a single mother with two young kids in the house, finding a man wielding a machete in your bedroom closet immediately kicks you into “momma bear” mode.
That’s what happened to a California woman who woke up to the sound of a man rummaging through her walk-in closet. The thief — Ocean Burger (his name, not a restaurant) — was armed with a number of knives and a machete when the un-named woman grabbed a handgun and confronted him.
From ksbw.com . . .
[Investigators] say Burger ignored orders to leave and when the homeowner fired several warning shots he allegedly advanced towards her, that’s when the mother fired at the accused burglar hitting him in the leg. And California law may be on her side.
Warning shots are never a good idea and could even put you in legal jeopardy in many jurisdictions. In this case, they not only wasted perfectly good (and expensive) ammunition, but probably led Burger to believe she wasn’t serious about actually shooting him.
After advancing on the woman, the round in his leg apparently convinced Burger that he was wrong.
The good news is California actually has a castle doctrine law on the books. The woman had no duty to retreat and was legally justified in using deadly force to defend herself and her children.
“There is a presumption that favors the homeowner they’re presumed that the person is in imminent fear of either death or great bodily injury,” said Ellen Campos, assistant district attorney for San Benito county. …

True.Guns by themselves cannot do anything ....
Stop selling guns to a frustrated, undertrodden, underpriveliged, poverty-struck, racially-profiled, inferior-educated, violently criminal nation. Either give Americans a decent education, Democracy and a fair chance ..... or remove guns .. because "guns by themselves cannot do anything".Stop letting violent criminals go free.

Shazam! There must be a whole lot of rapists, murderers, robbers, beaters and stabbers to eliminate in the AMERICAN kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools, high schools, colleges, universities, post offices, churches, traffic jams, subways and shopping malls!That is why law abiding citizens own them.......they use them to stop rapes, murders, robberies, beatings and stabbings,
Well, l'm glad it's you who is comparing the daily shoot-em-ups in the US with World Wars. By the way .... how many millions of innocent men, women, and children have the United Snakes illegally murdered in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Cuba, Serbia, Grenada, Libya, Syria, etc? Note that Europe doesn't have all of that "well-armed citizenry" you speak of yet we aren't murdering ourselves like the US is. Strange isn't it?! You've got the guns and we don't but it's you lot who's "murdering innocent men, women and children" on a daily basis. B-b-b-but you people are "stopping crime", that's what you told me anyway. Who'd have thunk there would be so much violent killings with all of those guns you've got!and the presence of a well armed citizenry keeps our government from murdering 15 million innocent men, women and children the way the European governments did.......
REALLY? So it's "the elderly, the physically handicapped or people with injuries" who are blasting up and blood-bathing the AMERICAN kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools, high schools, colleges, universities, post offices, churches, traffic jams, subways and shopping malls?Yep....which is why women, and the elderly, the physically handicapped or people with injuries benefit the most from gun ownership.......
