If Only They Had A Gun

Armed robbers kicked open a residential door, demanded money then shot a homeowner on Tuesday night in the 3100 block of Rush Avenue in west Charlotte, NC. “[The home owner, who was on disability] was shot twice, in the stomach and in the thigh,” said a next-door neighbor who wanted to remain anonymous. The armed robbers snatched $200 cash and a Razor cell phone before getting away. 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.
