Woman Uses Gun to End Assault

Chattanooga, TN – In yet another case of legitimate self-defense with a firearm, we find this report.

A woman reported that she had been kicked, hit, and strangled by her “baby daddy.” The police department’s release “said the female showed visible signs of an assault.”

In fear for her life, she laid hold of a firearm and shot her assailant.

Sadly (in my opinion), she hit him in the arm and he was able to drive himself to the hospital. Less sadly, he was arrested by police while he was at the hospital.

Thank goodness she was able to use a gun to save herself from his abuse.
