The Armed Citizen®

It was a violent few months in the Carolinas—both North and South—as mothers successfully defended themselves and their families.

Mama bears came out in full force in two separate incidents where their children's lives were threatened.

In three separate incidents, women bravely exercised their right to defend themselves with a firearm.
