Springfield woman says gun rights saved her life

Springfield woman says gun rights saved her life

Harrison Keegan, HKEEGAN@NEWS-LEADER.COM 4:33 p.m. CST January 5, 2016

Claxton said she was in the vehicle with her four young children while her husband was pumping the gas.

Claxton said she reached over to try to lock the doors as the man approached, but she accidentally rolled down the window. Claxton said the man opened the door, leaned into the car and brandished a long knife.

Claxton said she yelled for her husband, Matt, to get his gun, and the man then began to leave.

"He said 'You're lucky he has a gun,'" Claxton said. "And then he shut the door and started to back away."

Claxton said her husband pointed his Beretta handgun at the man and called 911 as the man slowly walked away.

If these people had been unarmed as many anti-gunners want, what would have happened? Whos word should we believe on that, anti-gunners or the man with the knife?

Nobody was shot, so it doesn't count.

If he got shot, it would be another case of gun violence used to push the grabber agenda.

If he stabbed her/them to death, grabbers wouldn't care either way.
