Almost four years ago now, a man tried to abduct my sister.
The police guessed from her size and appearance that he was trying to get a teenager, maybe 16 at the oldest (he could see that she drove a car.) Their assumption was that failing in his attempt might lead him to seek an even younger victim the next time. He was never caught (nor, in truth, pursued with much zeal by anyone outside our family.)
Had I been there, I'd have done my best to beat him until he stopped offering any resistance whatsoever. If I'd been there with a pistol, I'd have shot him in the center of his chest until he stopped.
If he'd died, he'd have died.
Similarly, if I ever catch some guy trying to pack my sons into a van, he'll have to be quick about surrendering to survive the encounter. I will shoot him until he stops. If he dies, he dies. I don't think that plan requires arming children.
Nugent is often over the top and purposely so. THIS is not over the top.
