I missed the part where it says she violated some no-guns rule.
“According to the woman she pulled the trigger, but the gun did not fire. So she kept on pulling the trigger till it did.
‘Fearing for her life, the victim kept pulling the trigger of her gun, which finally fired, and struck the suspect in the neck.’
He recoiled, but according to the woman, collected himself despite his injury and started to come towards her again.”
That’s one of Beretta’s little ity bity tilt barrel models, either 22 LR or 32 ACP. They are cleverly designed guns. I had one of those for a while, but it scared me so I got a 45.
That would appear to be one case wherein the multiple strike capability of a DA saved the day. In my experiences with misfires, if it fails the first time there is a low probability of a subsequent strike setting off the round. But sometimes it works, and in that grappling situation she’d have had a hard time racking a slide to reset the gun and chamber another round.
That’s a case where hi-viz sights, accuracy, major caliber, the niceties of trigger feel, and probably several other factors considered important among the gun culture were all rather beside the point. Simply having a gun, being able to get the muzzle pointed in the general direction of the perp and make it go bang were all that mattered. The gun’s very small size was probably a benefit in that situation too.

Fourth Street LIVE! is a shopping mall that is posted as no guns allowed.
This is the exact reason why I am happy that signs do not have the force of law in my state, and why I ignore them. A property owner doesn’t care if you are killed or not.

Actually, it was either a .22 or .25. Good for her. So much for the “size queens.”

Beatbox; Mine was a Tomcat, 32 Auto. Maybe I didn’t look at the frame close enough in the photo, but they’re basically the same action (and they’re cool guns).
