If Only They Had A Gun

Four defendants are facing multiple felony charges after a 47-year-old man was attacked during a home invasion in Billings, Montana. Police say four offenders entered the home of Jamie Ketcham on Sept. 11, sprayed him with mace, and and struck him several times in the head with a baseball bat, leaving him in critical condition.

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.
