CCW Holder Saves Woman from Repeated Stabbing

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - A fatal shooting at an Albuquerque Wal-Mart last week was the state's first by someone with a concealed-carry gun permit, authorities said.

Police said Felix Vigil was attacking his ex-wife with a knife near the store's deli counter where she worked when an armed customer intervened and shot him. The woman, Joyce Cordova, was treated for multiple stab wounds and later released from an Albuquerque hospital.

As everyone knows by now, I love these stories of good citizens stopping crimes. If more good people armed themselves, more crimes could be stopped. Note that the article said that this was New Mexico's FIRST fatal shooting by a concealed-carry permit holder. This just goes to show that while many people might chose to carry a weapon, the streets haven't been running red with blood as many anti-gunners like to claim. On the contrary, concealed carry permit holders do far more good than harm.
