If Only They Had A Gun

Four suspects are on the run after police say they broke into a home on Carver Road in Columbia’s Washington-Carver neighborhood and shot Audrey Jacobs twice with a shotgun. Tonight, that woman’s daughter is praying for her mothers recovery as she undergoes surgery.  Doctors had to remove Audrey’s left arm on Tuesday. 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.
