A Missouri woman says if it wasn't for the Second Amendment right to carry arms, she might not be here today.

On Sunday evening, Katie Claxton was sitting in a car with her four young children while her husband was pumping gas, when a man wielding a large knife approached her vehicle. Claxton said she cringes to think what might have happened if her husband hadn't pointed a gun at the man and scared him off.

"Our Second Amendment right to carry is what saved our lives," Claxton said. "If we didn't have our right to carry, I feel like we wouldn't be here today."

I actually read the first-hand account of this on reddit the other day:

He goes into a little more detail on what he was thinking than the article does. Good read if you have the extra few minutes.
