Last week, the anti-gun, B-actor Tom Arnold, who recently got a visit from the Secret Service for threatening to behead President Trump, posted a made up statistic to prove that gun ownership in America is bad and should not be tolerated because 80% of gun owners either kill themselves or family members.
We’re pretty sure the woman who shot and killed an escaped prisoner, after he kicked down her door and was on his way to her bedroom with a knife sharpening tool, would disagree with the anti-gun actor who makes up statistics about gun ownership when he’s not threatening to kill the President of the United States.
Fox News reports – Hours after he and another inmate escaped jail after beating up a security guard, a South Carolina inmate was fatally shot after he broke into a woman’s house, officials said.
Bruce McLaughlin Jr., 30, was shot in the head by the woman after he kicked in her back door on Tuesday, according to Pickens County authorities.
After he entered the home, McLaughlin grabbed a knife sharpening tool from the kitchen and headed toward the woman’s bedroom around 3 a.m. Sheriff Rick Clark said the woman was home alone and had undergone concealed weapons training at some point prior to the incident.
“This was a big guy. If she hadn’t had a weapon there’s no telling what would have happened,” the sheriff said. “I gave her a big hug. I told her how proud I was of her.”
Clark said the incident was “a shining example” of why owning and knowing how to properly use a gun is important.
McLaughlin had been in and out of the county jail roughly a dozen times on charges ranging from drug possession to assaulting a police officer to shoplifting, officials said. He was currently awaiting trial on first-degree burglary and grand larceny charges.
Another inmate, identified as Timothy Dill, also escaped the jail. They allegedly beat up two guards as part of their escape, which they planned for days.
