Grandma With Gun Halts Store Robbery A gun-carrying grandmother in Milwaukee foiled an attempted robbery when she pulled a firearm on the suspect as he grabbed for her grocery store cash register. Ernestine Aldana, 48, was behind the counter at the San Ignacio Market when a man in a dark hat pulled a knife on her and attempted to rob the store register, police said. Aldana pulled a handgun from behind the counter on the man, causing him to flee. “All I remember is being scared,” Aldana told ABC News. “I believe if I would have had my finger on the trigger I would have shot, thank god it actually didn’t come to that, everybody thinks it’s easy to pick up a gun and shoot someone, it’s really not.” Aldana said she was thinking about firing, but by then the suspect had already had turned to flee. The remarkable incident was all caught on surveillance video released by the Milwaukee Police Department, which is searching for the man. Aldana described the man as Hispanic, about 35 and between 165-180 pounds with pock marks on his cheeks. Aldana says her son, who took her to a firing range to train her to shoot, bought the gun for the store. The family never thought they would need for the firearm, but are now grateful. “If I didn’t have the gun there, he would have hurt me, once I had the gun there it changed everything,” said Aldana. In December 2011, Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill passing the “Castle Doctrine” in the state, which protects home and business owners using a gun in self-defense on their property. Aldana added that she is now skeptical of restrictions on gun ownership. “[The gun] saved my life,” she said. Video: abcnews.go.com

Dear Patriot, Even though our President is considering Executive Orders to ban guns he is seeking to surround himself with armed men for the rest of his life while simultaneously working to disarm the American people via a gun control agenda that is likely to be enforced via executive decree represents the height of hypocrisy. This is not the first time that Obama has hailed the notion of responsible Americans using firearms to protect himself and his family while concurrently gutting that very same right from the American people. During an ABC Nightline interview broadcast on December 26 yet recorded before the Sandy Hook shooting, Obama said one of the benefits of his re-election was the ability “to have men with guns around at all times,” in order to protect his daughters. In addition, the school attended by Obama’s daughters in Washington DC has at least 11 armed security guards on duty at all times, yet the idea of arming teachers and school officials to prevent school massacres has been dismissed by gun control advocates who want school campuses to remain “gun free zones” where victims are disarmed and shooters are free to carry out their rampage unhindered. The hypocrisy of gun control advocates who feverishly work to create victim disarmament yet surround themselves with armed men is rampant amongst the political class.
