So is there something to that "they'll take your gun and turn it against you" argument?
I just heard about this from a friend whose sister lives in the apartments in front of where this happened.

A 60-year-old woman confronted an armed teenager trying to steal her car, wrestled away his gun and shot him in the stomach Tuesday evening outside a Frisco apartment complex, police said.
The 19-year-old was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital. Originally listed in critical condition, he was in stable but guarded condition on Wednesday, police said.
The woman was not injured.
Frisco police Sgt. Gina McFarlin said the woman was getting out of her car about 7:45 p.m. in the 9300 block of Wade Boulevard when the man approached and demanded her keys.
The woman refused, and the man pulled a small handgun. During an ensuing scuffle, the woman gained control of the gun, shot the carjacker once and dropped the weapon. He then picked it off the ground and fled on foot. Police found the man in a nearby apartment complex and recovered the firearm.
Charles Poursoltani was charged with aggravated robbery and bail was set at $100,000.
