It’s a good thing the media and former Vice President Joe Biden haven’t gotten their way when it comes to snatching everyone’s guns away. If this mother hadn’t had a pistol to ward off this criminal, there’s no telling what might have transpired.

Charise Taylor of New Orleans, mother and United States Air Force veteran, was driving to pick her husband up on Friday when she became stuck in gridlocked traffic. A man rushed up to the door and began to aggressively attempt to pull open her passenger side door. With her 2-year-old son in the car with her, she had to act fast. So she pulled out her handgun and pointed it at the man.

She says she told him, “It’s locked and loaded,” threatening the man as he tried to gain access to the vehicle. She didn’t have to fire. Like most crooks, they aren’t exactly the bravest of people, and when confronted with their own mortality, they often take off with their tails between their legs.

Taylor says, “You shouldn't have to navigate your own city like a war zone. It's un-American. The crime is out of control and it's terrifying. At this point, having to use the same tactics in an American city that you use in Iraq and Afghanistan simply to navigate through the city it's scary and I'm not the only mom feeling this way.”

As a fellow Iraq War veteran, I wish I could use an M240B mounted on my truck. I bet it would prevent a lot of this kind of stuff from happening, especially seeing as how police in some liberal cities have all but given up trying to control the rampant crime.

Taylor’s experience like so many other good-guy/gal-with-a-gun stories continues to prove just how vital one’s right to defend oneself is.
