She was packing that day ~ must be a tough commute for her ~ I’d guess the bank is a high risk area.
I have no idea what the truth is and what her situation is. I'm waiting for the dust to settle and for facts to come out.
However, one article states she was a previous victim of a road rage incident, after which she bought a handgun and got a concealed carry permit.
At no point have I said this woman had a right to shoot the victim.
I'm just stunned at how quickly she's been convicted on FR based on these news reports. We all know how incomplete first reports are. We have eyewitness testimony that is apparently inconsistent in some way. A number of the comments here have a racial overtone.
I'm convinced that, if the shooter had been a white woman had claimed that a black man had grabbed her door handled, pounded on her window, and tried to open her door after the accident, this article either wouldn't have been posted or would have died after two or three responses.
A permit to carry is a permit to carry into any legal location. Why should she only have been able to take her pistol if she was going to a high crime area? Would you follow a similar restriction?
