Self defense against those that try to harm me. In Dec of 2011 I was attacked by a family member with a knife. He stabbed me 9 times. One of those cuts was to my jugular vain (not artery) and was bleeding internally for 2 day before the doctors found it during surgery to repair the nerve on my face. As you can imagine I was in fear for my life from someone that did not have a gun but a knife. My husband has a 9 mm that was always put away. I did not have an issue with guns then; it was never my thing. After the attack mu husband's 9 mm is always with me at home. If I would have had the gun closer to me that night I'm sure that I would not have had as many injuries or my sister would not have gotten hurt.
That night completely changed my life and I am all for the right to own any kind of gun. The laws that the government is pushing are going to fail. Look at Mexico. Guns are illegal but yet they have a high rate of gun violence. Look at the war on drugs. MAJOR FAIL. Look at Prohabition. FAIL.
