NRA Women The Armed Citizen Drawing A Pistol

A 33-year-old woman who was standing outside her home on the southwest side of Chicago fended off a mugger. When the armed man approached her and demanded her personal items, the woman, a licensed concealed-carry holder, drew her own gun, exchanging gunfire with the would-be robber as he ran off.  No one was struck.
