Women Defends Self With Gun, Gets Suspended From Work
'Bearing Arms' https://bearingarms.com/
Posted at 2:00 pm on September 22, 2017 by Tom Knighton

Folks who work at convenience stores probably think a fair bit about what to do if they’re faced with an armed individual. After all, their stores are common targets for armed robbery, regardless of the relative safety of a community.

For one cashier at a Circle K in Albuquerque, that meant a trip to the hospital for the bad guy who came into her store looking for trouble.

“I grabbed my gun from my pocket, I cocked it, and I shot,” said Jennifer Wertz, who shot the robbery suspect. “I’m sick and tired of being a sitting duck.”

In front of the Circle K near Eubank and Candelaria, Wertz said on Tuesday that she didn’t hesitate to shoot a man who ran into the store on Monday. “He like stepped into the door and pointed the gun at me. I reacted,” she said. Police say she hit 23-year-old Ferron Mendez in the chest. He’s expected to live.

Wertz says she had the gun at work clearly visible on her hip because it’s become a dangerous place to be. “Robberies have been going on like this for the past few weeks. They have done nothing to protect me. And I felt the need to protect myself,” Wertz said.

She says Circle K suspended her for two weeks for shooting the suspect. She’s quitting and now looking for a new job. Wertz doesn’t like company policy in these types of situations.

I don’t think any reader of Bearing Arms is going to blame her for that one.

I’m not a fan of saying, “There ought to be a law,” or anything, but I do think policies like this are horribly wrongheaded. They put law-abiding citizens at risk simply because they can’t carry their legally-owned firearms for their personal protection.

Wertz is far from the first person to have job difficulties because of defending themselves, but I can’t help but want to ask these companies which they prefer: An armed employee shooting someone in self-defense or a dead employee? Because those are your alternatives.

Unfortunately, policies such as Circle K’s are based on the media-perpetuated myth that lawful gun owners are somehow a danger to society. They’re not, unless by “society,” you mean “violent criminals.”

It’s my hope that Wertz gets a far better job with a company that sees no need to turn their employees into potential victims due to a misguided policy powered by anti-gun ideology more than real-world statistics. She did what she needed to do, and that also includes quitting a job that wants to punish her for not allowing herself to be shot.

Anyone who can’t see how idiotic that policy is needs to get their head examined. No one in their right mind should see an employee not being shot and killed as a bad thing under any circumstances, yet that’s what Wertz and others have encountered. They are either disciplined or lose their jobs for the “crime” of not rolling over and being a victim.

That should never be the case. Not in this country.

Gun control is the ability to hit what you aim at.

I see you are once again peddling abject bullshit, this did not happen.
ORIGINS: The above-quoted story about two armed illegal aliens killed during an attempted home invasion by an 11-year-old shotgun-wielding girl was posted to

LibertyPost.org on 25 April 2007.

Although the account was widely cited as a validation of anti-illegal immigration and/or pro-gun ownership positions, confirmation of the tale as a real-life incident was lacking.

The only documentation for this item was numerous

web sites all citing the same information, with no details of time or place

(other than a reference to Montana). Searches of news databases (including Montana-based newspapers) failed to turn up any corresponding news stories containing any of the four names provided, and the name of one of the putative criminals (“Ralphel Resendez”) just happened to echo an alias (Raphael Resendez-Ramirez) used by Angel Maturino Resendiz (also an illegal alien), the infamous “Railroad Killer.”

Although many versions of this item cited the home invasion incident as having taken place in Butte, Montana, that area’s sheriff said no such thing had occurred in that city:

This Particular Case May NOT Have Happened
But Another Similar Case Will NOT Be This One Particular Case, Will It ??
So, Are You Presuming This Case Automatically Invalidates All/Any Other Case
Just Because You May Have Latched On To This One Instance Over The Years ??

Interesting... So what you are actually saying here (whether you mean it or not) is that it doesn't matter if the story is true or not, what matters is the effect it has, providing a "sense of justice in a very sick society". I get that. That's what makes for some great movies, the sense of justice when the good guys finally catch up and beat the bad guys. I just wish more people understood the difference between the simple fantasies in movies and the infinite complexity of real life.

BTW, the story *IS* fake (not surprising that Fox reported it) and the sense of justice in this case is an unjustified endorsement of violence against immigrants. It's actually saying that it's cool for a child to shoot illegal immigrants. I think that's pretty disgusting.

In Goathump Texas a nine year old girl looking for her kitten in a closet lost her balance and grabbed her fathers 12 gauge side by side shotgun which accidentally discharged. The resulting blast and recoil knocked the kid in the head requiring 22 stitches, 00 buckshot from the weapon went through the closet wall in the single wide trailer blowing the privates off her grandfather who was sitting on the toilet and the face off her mother who was kneeling in front of him. The child, who the local prosecutor deemed demonically possessed was charged with felony murder and is expected to be hanged after being found guilty by a local jury.
