If Only They Had A Gun

A Westland woman believed to be responsible for 10 home invasions in Canton Township is reportedly facing felony charges, police said. Becky Sue Malmsten, 49, was charged with home invasion, larceny from a building, and habitual offender fourth offense; which carries up to life imprisonment. She is held on a $25,000 cash bond.

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.
