"If supporters of the Second Amendment had been looking for a textbook case of how gun ownership is supposed to work, they got it. An outlaw entered a restaurant brandishing a weapon and left on a gurney because a law-abiding gun owner decided to protect himself and his employees."
"If Williams had been smart - and few criminals are - he would have driven to Washington to stage a holdup. D.C.'s unconstitutional handgun ban still guarantees that most citizens can't protect themselves. That will soon change, when the District enacts new gun laws."

A good report by a female columnist. Way to go! We do indeed need more of this kind of accurate and factual reporting. I for one am tired of reading about reckless use of firearms on both sides of the criminal events. Justifed use of a firearm after a reasonable atempt to avoid it. This indeed what the 2nd amendment is about.

Keep in mind that this is an opinion piece, not a news story. That said, it was a good, positive, informative and well written article.

I hadn't noticed that it was an opinion piece. That's my hometown newspaper so I take a peek every now and then. That story was in with all the other "news" stuff.
Anyway, it's still good to see.

That sounds almost like 19th century journalistic prose
"A gentleman from out of town visited the First Miners Bank yesterday to make a withdrawal. On account of the fact that the gentleman had no gold on deposit, the bank clerk, being a fine local citizen with a proper sense of fairness and justice, substitued lead for gold. The visiting gentleman was so impressed with our community that he has elected to reside here permanently."
