Guns Save Another Life, Liberals Couldn't Care Less

From Saint Louis Post Dispatch: Debi Keeney says she last fired her gun 15 years ago, when she took shooting lessons.
The gun was a gift from a friend but it mostly stayed in a side-table drawer, she said, gathering dust. Then, early Sunday morning, Keeney pulled the trigger again — this time, she said, to save her sister’s life.
“I’m very grateful that it fired this morning,” she said Sunday afternoon.
Keeney, 55, said a man forced his way into her apartment in Highland, threw her to the floor and then put her sister, Donna Carlyle, 47, in a choke hold. He demanded money as Carlyle gasped for air.
“All I could see was Donna’s face going blue, like her life was being choked out of her,” said Keeney.
The alleged intruder, 33, was being treated at a hospital Sunday for two gunshot wounds and was listed in critical condition, police said. They have not released his name.
The incident occurred about 3:30 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 2600 block of Eagle Way in Highland. Keeney and Carlyle live next door to each other. Carlyle was visiting her sister’s apartment when the assault happened.
Highland Police Chief Terry Bell said Sunday that the man was shot twice and that police were still “piecing it together.” He added that he had no information to believe the man knew the women. Police for now are keeping the gun as evidence.  http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/highland-woman-says-she-had-no-choice-but-to-shoot/article_d66ba8f6-17ee-5e8a-8b30-b2776d38a529.html
The only bad part of this story (well actually 2 bad parts) is that the cops confiscated the lady's gun and that that thug intruder is still alive.
The liberal anti-gun thugs don't believe that Debi Keeney should own a gun and use it to protect her or her sister.
But at least Ms. Keeney is alive and the thug is in jail, all thanks to a gun.
