“If I wouldn’t have had my gun I would be dead today,” she said.

It was late Saturday night when she arrived home after working a double shift. She saw two men moving closer to her as she was about to get out of her car. Before she got out, she put her .45 caliber handgun in her pocket.

“He said, ‘Don’t pull it,’ and he shot immediately,'” said Ainsworth.She was hit three times in the side and once in the hand. It was not her shooting hand.

“I said, ‘You mother (expletive),’ and pulled out my gun and started shooting. One, he was right in the middle of the street. The other one was right here on the side of the street,” she said.

Thanks to “The Well Armed Woman” for posting this on Facebook. Paris Ainsworth apparently isn’t foolish enough to follow advice from the likes of Joe Biden, The President, or Michael Bloomberg. By the sound of it, she never even got the chance to comply with her attacker’s request before he started shooting her. Even after being wounded, she stayed in the fight and returned fire.

Folks, THIS is why continue to advocate an armed citizenry. You will not be given a chance to call 911 BEFORE a problem arises. Chances are, like Paris, you will have the rest of your life to solve that problem once the fecal matter hits the spinning impeller. Deal with it.
