While I like the presmise of this story, something doesn't sit well with "purchased the handgun hours earlier" and had it loaded and ready to go. I'm all for concealed carry and pro 2A, but that little addition to the story doesn't start well with me. On top of the fact she was able to draw on the assailant so easily. This story sounds too good to be true.
why wasn’t he charged with kidnapping and grand theft auto? Did she know him? Is this a domestic thing? Couldn’t they also have charged him with reckless driving and losing control of a motor vehicle? Child endangerment maybe?
Wright has been charged with two counts of unlawful restraint and unauthorized use of motor vehicle.

So, you would advocate that after you purchase something, you need to wait a specified amount of time before using it? WTH kind of childish notion is that? Please, explain this thought process to me,as I simply cannot fathom such a thing as that.
Sorry, you cannot drive that car until you wait a week/month with it sitting in your driveway....it would be suspicious otherwise.

So I take it you're unfamiliar with gun laws. Ok. Go read up on carrying a loaded weapon concealed and get back to me.
Which laws? What state?
Perhaps my own CCW license doesn't give me an in-depth knowledge of the process according to you?
Your statement was laughable. Each state is different, or does that not compute in your mind?

Maybe next time she just shouldn't leave the keys in the ignition... At the very least, she'd save a fortune on years of therapy for her kids that witnessed it.
Or are you saying he was not in the wrong here?

Yup. Just as I thought. Read my other post where I said it varies state by state. Jesus. Keep arguing with PRO 2A people. When we fight with each other, you might as well hand your firearms over to the leftists. Just so you know, I'm on your side. People like you shouldn't own firearms. Just looking to fire off on people without taking a second to "check your backstop".

Yeah, obviously that's what I'm saying... Its clearly a completely rational accusation.

An unloaded gun makes a great paper weight, but not much else.
From the sounds of this article, sounds like the woman knows her way around a firearm.

Guy jumps in a car to steal it, drives off with kids in the car, Mom jumps in and says "stop." He doesn't; she shoots him. And you are saying he is the victim?

I never said anything about the car thief being the victim.

Seems obvious to me that she didn't do too much wrong, no charges have been filed.
Depending upon the weapon, I can load mine quick as a hiccup. But mine is carried loaded at all times, because, as the old saying goes, better to be judged by twelve, than carried by six.
The guy trying to steal the car is the only one at fault. Not the woman protecting her kids. Anything else is patently ridiculous.

Oh, OK. This is what was said:

Thanks for the clarification.
