GGwaG – Drive-In Manager Saves Her Own Life, Kills Masked Robber Armed with a Baseball Bat

In this latest installment of “Good Guy with a gun,” or as is happening more often, “Good Gal with a gun,” a woman defended her life, against an assailant robbing her place of work.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez told reporters during a news conference that two female managers at the Showboat Drive-in theater in Hockley, TX were wrapping up their evening after a double-feature when they heard a noise downstairs.

“The women went downstairs, and immediately discovered a man in a closet, potentially a utility closet and they ordered the male suspect to come out,” Sheriff Gonzalez said. “The male did comply, it appeared he was possibly armed with a knife, the managers issued more verbal commands, and the male exited the location and took off, without incident at that point”

Gonzales continued,”A second male also appeared, they believe he may have been in the closet or back bathroom. He came out, he was partially masked, concealing his identity, he had gloves on, and he was possibly armed with a bat”

“There may have been some type of physical altercation where he actually struck her, possibly with the bat or with his fist,” Gonzales said, “At this point she discharges her weapon, she did retrieve a weapon that she had on her person and fired, and striking the male, and the male has been confirmed deceased here at the scene.”

“He again appears to be partially concealed, he appears to be a younger adult male, just guessing possibly early 20’s,” Gonzales added.

“They’re just trying to run a business out here,” Gonzalez told the group of media. “These two male are going to try to come and try to rob the location. It’s pretty isolated out here, so they did what they needed to do to protect themselves.”

The sheriff acknowledged that it is possible that there was a car waiting outside the theater that picked up the first suspect after he fled.

Deputies tried tracking down the second person that ran away, but so far have been unable to find him. His accomplice had no comment to his whereabouts.

I am sure my readers are probably more shocked there are still Drive-In Theaters in operation, than about someone protecting himself or herself.

But for the life of me, I am not sure what Democrats think when they hear these stories.

Actually, lefties probably do not hear these stories, since this type of news, goes against the agenda that Lamestream Media tries to push.

For those viewers of the local news, it is not going to be a surprise to them, because “success stories” such as these only occur in conservative locations, and not in gun-free-zones.

These stories only remain on the local news, and do not hit the national news, because it would show that guns are used for good, at a rate of possibly up to 1000 to 1. Since roughly 3,000,000 plus cases of gun use for protection of life and property occur per year, compared to a questionable 3,000 deaths associated with guns.

This is according to a, deeply buried and never cited by the MSM, 2013 study conducted by the CDC.

Obviously Democrats and their idiotic gun control measures, would have preferred these women to be hospitalized, and the theater owner robbed.

As Dan at TheTruthAboutGuns.com points out, “Once again, this is why millions of Americans choose to carry a firearm. It’s because they’re scared, not because they’re “gun nuts,” not because they’re “ammosexuals” and not because of a deficiency in genital size. I doubt the female theater manager — someone who apparently works late hours around a fair amount of cash — was trying to compensate for a small penis.”

If she bought the gun for herself. Good job! And if it was purchased for her, that person deserves a big thanks for a thoughtful and useful gift.

I personally find it fascinating that people will still commit crimes in gun-friendly states such as Texas.

I try to not make light of a defensive shooting like some commenters’ say, “good riddance” etc. [BTW, I don’t care if you say this at all, I don’t judge free speech, I also don’t claim to have NEVER said those words, since it is a sentiment that is easy to relate to]

I typically try to take a bit more pragmatic, pitying position. Having studied psychology as long as I have, I am of the strong belief, those that commit crime such as this are mentally ill. It is odd that many people in my industry do not agree with me, but I am sure that is because of a financially based, self-interest of some sort.

I am not necessarily referring to a DSM-IV mental issue. The mental illness can be as simple as a temporary situation, that potentially leaves a person feeling vulnerable and not knowing what to do, and they decide to rob someone to get money they do not have. An unexpected important bill like rent or medical care can leave those without great mental depth, with little recourse beyond crime. Or an addiction can drive someone to take money from honest, hard-working people when they have blown through the money they had.

I am not pointing this out, in the vein of, you should feel sorry for the deceased in this case, and others such as this. However, I say this, because they had a family, potentially friends, and now they are gone, and because of rampant, unchecked, mental illness.

The basis for almost everything negative we see in the news… Crime, Suicide, Democratic and Leftist Thinking, is mental illness. We need to devote more resources, human and financial to helping those that are unable to help themselves.

Until we do, nothing will change.

Lefties only want to hear how a helpless hottie in a thong stopped a rapist by telling him rape is illegal.

How about a .38 hammerless snubbie?

Fleabaggs

I carry two just in case someone wants to rape me. An SAA .22mag with folding grip and a Ruger LCP .380. Has annoying long heavy trigger pull but no safety or hammers to grab clothing at the worst possible moment. I replace the birdshot in .22mag with aluminum finishing nails from walmart. At 10 feet they will change anyones mind. Last 3 are hollow points.

Flea ,I have a Ruger 380 LCP . Love that baby.

Fleabaggs

Anono.
me too but not for pleasure shooting. Recoil is too much for just having fun plinking. for putting in my pocket or inside my belt it’s great. Even in my tee shirt pocket when I’m wearing outer shirt. I bet you could put it on a jewelry chain around the neck.

Try the Walther PPS-40 M1 (not the hideous M2 model) with the 5+1 “deep cover” magazine.

It’s a two finger grip and your pinky is left hanging, but I find it very controllable.

10mm Short (aka .40 S&W) is the bare minimum power necessary to reliably drop charging Africans.

Fleabaggs

22..
That’s most likely true for most people regarding the .40 unless you’re me or some other mean heartless bastard like Mark.
Adrenalin cures most of the heavy trigger pull but it sure is a bummer during practice.

I bought my wife one of those. She couldn’t rack it. Got her a Taurus Judge instead, loaded with .410 buck and ball rounds. Don’t mess with Mrs. gcp…

I meant to type NAA .22mag.

The S&W 642 J-frame is the finest hammerless snubbie there is, as long as you can work the 9-10 pound trigger.

Plenty of rapists have seen a 5 shot revolver at arms length followed by a bright flash.

No race mentioned….so black?

Read a story yesterday about a WHITE male gunman seen roaming about a school area here in TX with a long gun. Lockdown… no one subsequently spotted nor apprehended.

Funny that it’s fine to mention race if the potential perpetrator is Caucasian.

Yup indeed.

Guns are great for popping carjackers, muggers, and that bad man in the closet.

But I no longer think privately owned guns are going to make much difference in the big picture of whatever is coming down the pike.

The white people in Rhodesia didn’t all flee when it was renamed Zimbabwe and the black government took over. Many of them stayed and found ways to deal with it.

Just like white folks who live in South Africa and American cities with lots of darkies right now. They are just dealing with it.

Not trying to be negative here, but Americans will do the same thing when a female president is elected, the federal ERPO raids begin, and the financial boom is lowered. They will mostly just deal with it.

Mygirl...maybe

Most people will just keep on with their gun owning and if the laws get real draconian then the three S’s will come into play.

There are almost no whites left in Zimbabwe. The white population in South Africa is almost unchanged since the end of apartheid, but their percentage of the population has been halved because of the black birth rate.

I was surprised to learn how many whites stayed on in Rhodesia during the 1980s and dealt with the transition. Whites didn’t just disappear overnight.

The black nationalist communist takeover of Rhodesia was presented to the world as a good thing, when in fact it was a coordinated international sellout of Christian white folks to Chinese and Russian backed Zulu terrorists.

grace country pastor

I know firsthand that white families in SA are being terrorized and murdered by roaming gangs of blacks as we speak. The farmers wake up to butchered herds lying in their pastures to rot. They are vastly outnumbered. Situation very grim.

My friend from Maryland just called. Her daughter can’t order a stun gun in Maryland.

Ordered. Good Night!

Send her one of those 300 lumen baby flashlights with it. It’ll give her 10 seconds to enjoy using the stun gun on his male junk. I wasn’t always the sweetie I am today.

22winmag w/o tagline

A good flashlight is second only to a gun or a knife for confronting someone in tight, dark spaces.

Stun guns are a joke that just enrage attackers.

They are the Pits. I did in home hospice for my brother in law in Elkton. Speed and inspection traps everywhere by every agency getting revenue. Crime unchecked. Forced entry’s nearly every day.
Montgomery County used to be a beautiful place. We lived in Boyds 1 year on a little farm on Little Seneca Creek. Happiest year of my life. It’s a state park now. Hoyles Mill was still there in pieces.

Columbia MD ain’t too far from Baltimore. Lots of diversity there. Howard County, where Columbia MD is located, is a high income area though. I grew up in the part of Howard Co. where all the farms were. In fact, an old…old convienence store was also the local post office for a loooong time.

Was there for the winter of 84, had a job as an armed guard in an oil drilling storage yard full of pipes. Carried an 870 pump. We had orders to protect ourselves with them, not the pipes. They would wait for the rain at night and steal winches etc.

It was an accidental slur, unintentionally written.

I finished Rob Gore’s Business for Godfather groupies book. I read the last chapter first as I do. That tells me whether I am reading the book or criticizing.

The book is a fun review of Godfather scenes with some business observations and personal experiences woven in as RG felt it applies. No criticizing planned
