A Buckeye, Arizona man reportedly used his handgun to stop 4 attackers who were beating him with a baseball bat.
Police say that the concealed carry permit holder was in a parking lot near 195th Avenue and Indian School Road when 4 males in their late teens or early twenties approached him and attacked with a baseball bat. After being hit several times in the head and arms, the concealed carry permit holder is said to have drawn and fired his handgun, striking one of the attackers and causing all four of them to flee. Police are seeking the suspects, and the concealed carry permit holder was treated on the scene for minor injuries.
Here we have yet another concealed carry permit holder who was saved by their gun. Had this crime victim not had a gun for self defense, he could have been beaten to death by those 4 attackers and their baseball bat. Luckily, he was armed, and as a result managed to escape with only minor injuries.

Thanks for a great story! This is proof that guns save lives. Of course the Brady Bunch or the Violence Policy Center would lie and say that this is a isolated case or that it didn't happen.
Stu you are so right about the Brady Bunch. Now hear this to both you and Eric, a while back Eric posted about an incedent where a elderly citinzen in the UK was killed inside of his own home by four young thugs. My point at the time is crime in the UK vs. crime in the US.
Eric said he would do some reserch on this topic. Well in the mean time I have done some myself. Based on other websites that I have looked at, you are 6 times more likely to be mugged in London then in New York. Mind you London's population is around 7 million vs. New York's population of around 8 million. In the UK you are time 2 more likely to be stabed with a knife there then be shot by a gun in the US. Also you are almost 3 times as likely to have thugs break into your home while you are persent in the UK then in the US. Maybe the Brandy Bunch might want to concider moving over to the UK where you can't defend your self with a firearm when need be. They may feel safer there.
