"I was standing here," she said, pointing to a spot near her cash register. "As I saw him coming, he already had the gun up." Baker pulled her gun out of her pocket, misfiring a shot into the wall, then aimed and shot again. "He stumbled about 3 feet back, hit the floor, and I shot out the door," she recalls.
She had enough time to pull her weapon, fire two shots (one of which she deliberately took time to aim), and the young thug began to assume room temperature.
Hmmmmmm....
Sounds to me like little angel Quintavius (when will these cretins stop hanging these stupid assed names on their children?) didn't expect much resistance. I think the movie/rap video that was playing in his head showed him terrorizing this woman and making off with a bag full of money to throw around in the air when he got back to his "crib" and he reacted accordingly.
Seems like there is a lesson in this. I think it might be that:
1. Attempting to physically harm someone in Florida has suddenly become a very bad idea.
2. Taquanda (
) should include in her prayers a word of thanks to all of the horrible, slave owning, dead, white men who were prescient enough to guarantee her right to protect her life.
3. Relaxed handgun laws have added a very steep degree of difficulty to armed robbery; rules of engagement will vary according to private property owner.
4. A handgun in the hands of a trained, law abiding citizen is much more effective than 100,000 police officers.
