Shouldn't the headline read, "Woman says she used her gun to ward off abduction."
Why does my intuition tell me there is at least a 50% chance this story is made up ?
There is some politics behind these laws.

Because you are a public servant, who believes the government should do everything for us.

IF she had had a M134, she could have turned these two thugs into mincemeat for pigeons to eat.

It's a good thing that the NRA got gun-injury research banned. Otherwise we might have better insight into the number of times a pistol in a purse stopped a rapist or murderer.

That is a nice story, and will never be on the news.
It's a bad ending. She should have shot them both.

You know she regrets leaving the house without the ultimate authority on safety - the M134.
I dunno, she looks like a better canidate for an M249.
It's standard issue for today's retirees.

It's a good thing she didn't have to discharge her weapon. If she had shot, she would have spent the rest of her life in court and been dragged through the mud for years, having whatever money she might have fleeced from her by lawyers, and being tortured to an endless hell by our wondrous legal system and lawsuits.
She would have wished that she just let them beat her with the baseball bat and taken her chances, that would have been easier, over with quickly and less painful.

Our society has lost it's ability to differentiate between criminals and victims. America has become a haven for criminals. This is why we have a high crime rate.

I don't know why anyone would bother contacting the authorities once the men were shot to death. Leave them where they lie. It was a place they felt safe to abduct someone, therefore it's a safe place also for them to die. Leaving them alive is a socially irresponsible move. That just means that the next woman without a gun will be abducted.

Exactly!! Let them lie there and rot for the buzzards. Leaves a nice message for the other dirtbags in the area.
You racist, they were unarmed. Is this any way to treat 2 nice fellas who got murdered in cold blood by a trigger happy killer bitch?

She should have made them get on their knees and kicked them in their nuts.
Why doesn't the story say that she detained them and dialed 911 so they won't abduct and possibly rob, rape, or even kill someone else? She should have done more.

An Ohio woman who is licensed to carry a gun but had only recently started carrying one for protection put it to good use earlier this week.
Dinah Burns was out walking her dog, Gracie, on a path near an elementary school in Lancaster on Monday when two men approached her with a baseball bat and threatened to abduct her.
“Two gentlemen came out of the woods, one holding a baseball bat, and said ‘You're coming with us,'” Burns told WBNS, adding that Gracie was little help in deterring the men.
Thankfully, Burns had something else for protection.
“I said, ‘Well, what do you want?,' and as I was saying that I reached in to my pocket and slipped my gun out, slipped the safety off as I pulled it out,” Burns said.
“As I was doing that the other gentleman came toward me and raised the baseball bat. And, I pointed the gun at them and said, ‘I have this and I'm not afraid to use it.'”
The men backed off and left, Burns told the news station.
“I think if they'd gotten any closer, I probably would have fired,” she said, citing her concealed carry training which taught her “to get out of a situation, back out, get out of it as much as you can without having to discharge your firearm.”
“[I'm] very thankful that it turned out the way it did, and hope it doesn't happen again, but I will be prepared,” Burns said.
Ohio, which began issuing concealed carry permits in 2004, has experienced a massive surge of new concealed carry permit requests. According to an article from the Columbus Dispatch earlier this year, 96,972 new permits were issued in 2013 — a 50 percent increase from 2012. Permit renewals quadrupled over the same time span to 48,370.
