They allow people who would otherwise be victims to defend themselves.

A prime example of this comes out of Oklahoma where a mother and daughter took on the guy trying to rob their family-owned liquor store. It did not work out well for him.

The two women spoke out about the incident, as well.

When the gunman turned away, the women said they grabbed guns of their own and opened fire.

They said all they could think about was saving the other's life.

"The next thing I know that I have my gun and I'm shooting him. And I get up and I shoot him again, and he just keeps coming back to me," said Ring.
