From Fort Smith, Arkansas: Concealed carry permit comes in handy for woman in Fort Smith

She's a woman who knows how to protect herself as two men who tried to rob her found out. What they didn't know was the woman is licensed to carry a concealed weapon...and yes, she was packing heat.

"A lady was flagged over Sunday evening about 6 p.m. on the interstate between Kelley Highway and the Arkansas river bridge." Lt. Steve Coppinger with State Police says that two men in a car signaled that the woman was getting a flat tire.

"When she pulled over to check her tires one of those person in that other car got out and attempted to rob her at knife point."

But what the thief didn't expect happened next. Coppinger says the female driver pulled out her handgun.

"She pointed that at her attacker and he backed away, got in the car and they fled."

Investigators say the would-have-been victim was able to turn the tables because she had a concealed carry permit. State police are keeping some details of the investigation close to their vest so they will know when they get the right guys. Right now, officials are saying they believe this to be an isolated incident.

Police advice:

As for advice, Lt. Coppinger says to always pull over in a well-lighted public area. And if you are pulled over by someone you don't know, don't get out of the car. Use your cell phone to call 911 and ask for assistance.

Umm... maybe you left something out of that list.... Perhaps a .38 would help too?

Good for her, I really love reading/hearing stories like that one. Positive press on gun ownership seems to be getting harder and harder to find, especially with all of the leftist media outlets anymore. And I'm willing to bet even when there are positive stories about criminals being deterred by responsible firearm owners, the stories are left on the cutting room floor (if they even made it that far).

Exactly what I thought, how many other stories like this one aren't being reported thanks to all of the left-wing media anti-gun agendas.
