It moves me.

By Linda A. Prussen-Razzano
web posted January 10, 2000

These days, when I retire in the evening, I am afforded the comfort of assured security. I rest peacefully, my thoughts centered firmly on my many blessings, the butterfly tickles indicating the life growing inside of me, and my renewed confidence that America can weather most political storms, only to emerge stronger than before.

What brings me such peace of mind? Is it the strapping giant I call my husband, nestled in the bed alongside of me? To a degree, yes. Is it my comfortable home, located in a quiet neighborhood? To a degree, yes. Is it the security alarm that monitors my home continuously, warning against unwanted intrusion? To a degree, yes. Ultimately, the source of my peaceful rest is the 12 Gauge 28" Accu-Choke shotgun and case of 3" shells under my bed.

I did not always know this level of serenity.

In 1989, I decided to return to college to finish my Bachelors degree. I accepted a position for which many have rightly earned spots in Heaven; I became a Burger King night manager. While far from prestigious, it allowed me to work almost 40 hours a week and still attended college full-time.

In January of 1990, just four weeks into my new position, I experienced a typical Murphy's Law evening.what could go wrong did go wrong. When I left the safe confines of my store, it was very late, very dark, and I was alone.

Well, not really.

Two armed robbers were waiting for me in the parking lot. At gunpoint, I was forced back into the store, forced to turn off the alarm, forced to open the safe, and then forced to the floor of my restaurant. The memory of the gun barrel shoved into the back of my head, as I lay on the floor face down, remains firmly impressed on my mind.

Thankfully, the robbers did not fulfill their threat to blow my brains out; I had complied without question, survival instantly becoming the sole focus of my being.

In the still sickening moments that followed their departure, I pressed every panic button in the store, retrieved what was left of the smashed phone, plugged it in, and desperately called the police. My words were tearfully jumbled, but recognizable, until I saw headlights swinging into the parking lot. In nanoseconds, my tone leapt from controlled distress to hysterical, rising two full octaves to a begging soprano as I screamed, "I have to hide! I have to hide! They're coming back in to kill me!"

Thankfully, it was the police; they had come to my "rescue."

In the grueling hours that followed, filled with police tape,
fingerprint dust, and endless questions about the evening's events, I was asked not once, not twice, but four separate times if the robbers had harmed me in any way. The last person to approach me with this question was a female detective, who gently escorted me to a private corner at the back to the store. "No," I assured her, "I would tell you if they did. But I must ask, you are the fourth person to ask me about this. Why?"

I later learned that out of 14 stores, I was the only manager that was not assaulted. These robbers were not just robbers; they had raped, shot, and beaten other managers and employees. Apparently, at some point when they were "casing" my store, I must have done or said something that made them see me as a "human being."

In short, I was lucky. Very lucky. Extremely lucky. Unbelievably lucky.

I was back at my job within 48 hours. I was convinced that if I didn't return, I would have allowed the robbers to take more from me than a few lousy dollars.

I didn't think of the robbery until four years later, when my husband began a new job that required him to work the graveyard shift. Suddenly, I was alone in the evenings, with no alarm to our apartment and no warning of an entry save my hearing. I became acquainted with insomnia and sleep depravation, jumping at every noise, fearful at every turn. When a rapist claimed his fourth victim in our area, I lived on caffeine, cigarettes, and an average of 3 hours sleep a night unless my husband was home.

On one evening in particular, my body simply gave out. I crashed upon returning home from work, only to be awoken at 5:30 a.m. by the shifting of my bed. I snapped out of sleep and lurched up from under the covers, recognizing that someone was climbing into the hazy darkness of the bed alongside of me. My full-throated scream woke my neighbors, one of whom banged on the ceiling of my apartment while the other called the police.

Thankfully, it was my husband, considerately trying not to wake me as he came home from work.

Why am I telling you this? I want you to understand that I didn't purchase my weapon in a knee-jerk reaction to my "victimization." It took me several years to see guns as trusted friends, not hated foes. I had to move past emotion to a place where logic prevails; I had to stop thinking like a victim, and start thinking like a survivor.

Moreover, I want to make people understand that anti-gun laws do not deter crime. This statement is the absolute truth for two reasons: Criminals, by definition, do not obey the law.

Guns do not have a life of their own; they do not fly about randomly committing crimes. Guns are simply tools; they require human beings to operate.

If the anti-crime activists want to seriously address the issue, they should call for the arming and proper training of all law-abiding citizens. If they seriously want to level the "playing field," they should make sure law-abiding citizens are equipped with the right gear to survive in the "game."

The fact that some anti-gun groups call for the wholesale confiscation and elimination of guns tells me one thing.they want to see me naked in my desperation, clutching a telephone, begging for the police to come before the intruder violates my home, my body, my child. To secure their peace of mind, they would leave me exposed to certain victimhood, rather than allowing me to empower myself and defend my God-given right to live and to protect my family.

I have just four words for folks like that: Over My Dead Body. I will not play the victim for you. I will not trust the future of my security to things like "luck." I will not be a statistic, just so you can feel as if you have "done something."

My days of being a helpless female are over.

Gwinny, you ask the question, "if they (the Socialists) want to address crime...". They do not want to do anything except disarm the law abiding people, so it would be easier for them to get us to swallow their ideas of socialism. You see, owning a gun is more a matter of generating a feeling of independance and the "you can't push me around" syndrome. Legal gun owners are not so easily swayed by leftists arguements. Look at Great Britan, when guns were banned recently, how long did it take the ruling class to start talking, if not actually put into pratice yet, about baning knives, clubs, swords and many other anti-freedom restrictive laws? Same for Australia, the rash of restrictions came very quickly upon the heels of the gun bans. AND THE TELLING THING IS THAT NOT VERY MANY AUSSIES OR BRITS ARE RAISING THEIR VOICES. When you are disarmed, your whole outlook changes, and you start to believe that "the meek shall inherit the earth". Yeah, right. The only way the meek will inherit the earth is in six foot plots.

Miss D. why the hell don't you have a gun yet? Don't wait for the legal mumbo jumbo to resolve itself. Better to be tried by twelve than carried by six. I feel that this is one area where civil disobedience is justified. Naturally, you might want to keep it to yourself. ;]

Wow, great article! And I agree with BestDefense, it should be published in every newspaper.

Miss D...I know you would.

Wish I could help. Can't wait to get to Chicago!

EQUALIZER · January 16, 2000, 09:55 PM

Excellent article! Many good points. One conclusion that I came to after reading the article is that those who would take away or limit our means to self defense are no better than those who rape, murder, and pillage. They are aiding and abetting the criminal, not the poor lady who dials 911. I have great respect for those who do serve and protect. Those who would cause the harm of the innocent by throwing a little lamb to the "mercy" of the criminal wolves are knowthing more than wolves in sheeps clothing.

Good to see a precious little lamb with an EQUALIZER in a wool lined holster.

Great article.

Gwinnydapooh · January 16, 2000, 10:35 PM

Shotgun, you are absolutely right re: the intentions of antis. I'm with you. I don't buy their claim of wanting to address crime at all--it wouldn't take all that long for them to figure out what really has to be done if that were the real aim.

As for Miss D, go easy. I live in the same state. Better judged by 12 sounds good, but in IL she has a good chance of being arrested, tried, convicted, maybe losing her daughter (?) not after defending herself, but a week after she buys the gun illegally. The licensing system in IL is that important to buying a gun. It is smelly indeed, but true. I can't even take friends shooting to introduce them to the sport, legally, because without the FOID card that takes several background checks, several dollars, and several weeks to get, it's illegal for them even to touch a gun. This is not often enforced, apparently, but it exists, disgusting though it may be, and we who live in IL have to decide for ourselves what we can live with. But Sandy's going in the right direction, getting her FOID and her gun ASAP.
Way to go Sandy.

(PS) I don't often drink, and have consumed a great deal of beer tonight with my quadmates. Hope I haven't posted anything stupid. We shall see.

Gwinnydapooh · January 17, 2000, 10:24 AM

That's the problem--HOW would you go about buying the gun and keeping it to yourself? Who would you buy from? No reputable dealer will risk such a sale, or at least if they will I don't know about it. You could try to buy an illegal gun, but you're probably buying a stolen gun from a drug dealer. No thanks. The minute you tell your friendly dealer in the neighborhood gunshop that you don't have a FOID card (it WILL come up) he'll boot you out. He has to have records of all that stuff plus the NICS check if anyone comes calling.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, Shotgun, I just want everyone to understand what they're really advocating with all this civil disobediance stuff. Civil disobediance is actually done in public, flagrantly, with a view to getting arrested and thus demonstrating the injustice of the law. I submit that for Sandy that's a bad idea. Much as I hate the FOID system (and you have no idea until you've lived with it for awhile) she can't afford to go out to get arrested and leave her daughter at home. It's a nice thought, but it doesn't always work out.

I on the other hand have been wondering lately how much support I might be able to get from the NRA and GOA if I were to engage in REAL civil disobediance, that is: walk up to my police chief with an unloaded Glock concealed on my person, calmly tell him I was carrying a concealed weapon in protest of an unjust law and politely ask him to disarm and arrest me. Until Gov. Ryan can ram the "Safe Neighborhoods Act" through the legislature again, this would only be a misdemeanor and so wouldn't preclude my getting my teaching certificate. But would I get enough support to take the case higher and higher in the appeals courts? I'm basically broke.
