Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this heroic young lady a law enforcement officer using a firearm within the scope of her public safety duties? She certainly went above and beyond, contuing to pursue the murderer after she had been shot. No doubt that she deserves all of our respect. In fact, the officer took out a criminally insane person who obviously had plenty of access to weapons.
What she did had no relevance to whether any private citizens should be pistol packin' mamas.
