If Only They Had A Gun

Around 1am today, police were called to 1033 Northwest 97th street, a residential area near North Western in Oklahoma City. Two people had been shot and told police that four men wearing hoods and bandannas over their faces burst into the home. The four demanded money then started shooting. More information here.

In the above situation, and countless others, innocent people have been harmed by the action of a criminal. Had there been an armed, law abiding citizen in the area, tragedy may very well have been averted. Americans use guns for self defense every 13 seconds, and that is perhaps the best reason to have a gun. These people are certainly glad they had a gun for self defense.
