Unless she was in fear for her safety, she had no reason to arm herself. A gun is not a magic wand with which one gets others to do their will. At least, not legally.

Agreed.
However, her fear for her safety may very well have led to her arming herself. That was the point I was trying to make.
I again point out that this seems to have been within the confines of her home and she did not point the gun at anyone. As far as the legality of the issue, is there any law that prohibits a person from carrying their weapon inside their home? Should there be?
I don’t believe in brandishing a weapon, it never solves any situation. But, if she thought that her safety was in question, she may have felt the need to do so. IF that was the case (and I do mean IF) then I would have to support her actions.
I agree 100% with you. A firearm should only be used in a life threatening situation, all other circumstances are unjustifiable and hurt responsible gun owners and CHL carriers.
