“It’s not until I showed him that I was armed and that I meant business to protect my daughter that he backed off”

I was looking for a story about the public school system, but I found this instead. This is a great example of why guns should be an individual right:

A woman said she used a gun to scare away a man who was trying to lure her teenage daughter into a truck.

The mother, who did not wish to be identified, said the man approached her 16-year-old daughter on Alhambra Circle near their home.

“She was walking her dog in the median right out in front of our house here, and a man approached her in a truck and tried to get her to come to the truck,” the woman said.

The teenager ran to nearby Coral Gables Elementary School, calling her mother and 911. The mother confronted the man and showed him her 9-mm gun.

“It’s not until I showed him that I was armed and that I meant business to protect my daughter that he backed off,” she said.

Another CCW uses their gun in self-defense. Now, what happens in this situation if the woman isn’t allowed to have a gun, and finds herself between this guy and her daughter? That’s why I call the gun the great equalizer.

“I’m licensed. I shoot almost every week,” she said.

The woman said she recommends a day at the shooting range for every parent.

Sound advice.
