NRA Women The Armed Citizen Aiming A Pistol

A woman, fearing for her life after her husband beat her and ordered her into their bedroom at knifepoint, retrieved a firearm and shot and killed him. After the shooting, she called 9-1-1 to report the incident. She was taken into custody, but a grand jury declined to indict her, and will face no charges. (whio.com, Auglaize County, Ohio, 2/8/20)
