I can strongly sympathize with her not wanting to let someone steal from their shop.

When the guy mentioned "shooting", it may have have been better to call the police.

With the good camera footage, there is a chance at an arrest.


Huh?

When seconds matter, 911 is just twenty minutes away.

People who have never had need for the police haven't even a passing understanding of self defense.

Hence why a lot of gun owners believe the adage, "It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it".

I suggest that is a very modern, and likely made up argument.
I grew up in a small New England town where, I'd guess, more than half
the homes had a gun or two. My granddad had two deer rifles, a 12
gauge shotgun and a .22 rifle behind the kitchen door.
As a general statement guns were seen a tools. How else would you keep
the fox from eating the chickens?

I never heard this argument that "to have a gun and not need it..."
until long after I left home. In fact, from memory alone, I'd guess it
was into the 1960's or '70's when I heard it first.
