Woman takes gun, shoots would-be carjacker in Frisco

"We don't recommend it," Sgt. McFarlin said of the woman's decision to confront her attacker.

"Always the safe thing to do, unless you're in fear of imminent bodily injury, is to comply."

It amazes me that some LEO's still offer this advice when FBI reports/study would show the reverse to be true. Unarmed resistance is more likely to result in injury or death to the victim than would compliance, but resistance with a gun is less likely to result in injury or death of the victim. I need to find the actual document for this and post it or a link. Maybe after the legislative session is over.

Chas, Your quote from the FBI basically agrees that this was the WRONG thing for this women to do; her resistance was UNARMED until she got control of the gun. I fear the outcome most times would not be this favorable under these circumstances. Of course the way to improve the odds is for the lady to have a CHL and a handgun of her own.
