You Might Shoot Someone You Know.

The gun-hating part of the Left says that to convince you that guns are bad. They say that a lot. After all, why would you want to shoot someone you know? Well, you might have good reason to. Consider this case: Iowa woman shoots another woman in self-defense: reports

[Sgt. Paul] Parizek [of Des Moines police] said the relationship between Francis and the alleged shooter is “best described as acquainted with a history of conflict between the two,” the Des Moines Register reported.

You are more likely to have a conflict with someone you know. That certainly was the case a few years back. With exploding street crime everywhere, like carjacking, that may be changing. But people you know do not always have your best interests at heart.

After talking to witnesses and reviewing the evidence, detectives “learned that the shooter in this incident acted in self-defense after being violently assaulted,” the police also reportedly said.

I would usually have linked to the original, but I still see a bit of the NYC "self-defense is really a thing?" attitude coming through this story from the NY Post. It seems to puzzle people in Blue States that people can and do defend themselves legally.

As for the gun-hating Left and people you know... People you know include your ex-boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, current girl-friend's ex-boyfriend, the creepy guy from the coffee shop who is always trying to pick you up, and the deranged coworker who has decided that you are his soulmate. Not everyone you know is a good person, with your best interests at heart.

Self-defense is a human-right, and in Iowa it appears to be your legal right.
