13 women use firearms in self-defense against exes, criminals over 2-week period across US

At least 13 women across the country used a firearm to fend off assailants between the waning days of July and Aug. 12, local news reports show.

“Can we take a minute to appreciate how many women have protected themselves and others with firearms in the last two or so weeks? It’s basically a highlight [reel] of just how important the right to keep and bear arms is for us, too,” Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow Amy Swearer posted on X, previously known as Twitter, detailing the cases.

Local news reports from Arizona to Pennsylvania show that between July 29 and Aug. 12 there were at least 13 instances of women fending off assailants, most notably their own exes.

A woman in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, for example, shot and wounded the father of her child on Aug. 11 after he assaulted her.

The man was shot in the shoulder and had an outstanding warrant for violating a protection-from-abuse order to stay away from the woman.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
