This BADA$$ MOM Is Exactly Why Good Guys Should Have Guns

I don’t carry (yet.)

My guy does, but while I’m all about guns, I don’t feel comfortable enough to carry yet. As I’ve mentioned many, many times I was reeeeally liberal until a few years ago, and didn’t grow up around guns (I grew up in Mexico, where strict gun laws prevent most law-abiding civilians from having one.) so it’s taken a while to get me all caught up.

My boyfriend is working on getting me comfortable enough to carry, because there’s no question I want to soon. At the very latest by time I have kids.

THIS is EXACTLY why.

LOOK AT THIS MAMA BEAR GO!!!!

According to BPR:

A heroic mother of a seven-year-old daughter and off-duty Military police officer, Katia da Silva Sastre took down a would-be robber in Suzano Brazil on Saturday morning.

DID YOU SEE HER?!

DID YOU SEE HER KICK HIS GUN AWAY!?

SHE’S A FREAKING BADA$$!

Sastre, her daughter, and several other woman and children were waiting on the sidewalk in front of a local private school for a special Mother’s Day celebration party when the suspect, Elivelton Neves Moreira, approached them waving a gun announcing the robbery.

Quick-thinking Sastre pulled a concealed handgun from her bag and shot the young man 3 times in the chest and leg, sending him to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries, according to UOL.com.

The suspect fired his weapon, a .38 caliber revolver, once into the crowd. Going for a second shot, his gun locked up, giving the 42-year-old mother a chance to pull her weapon and fire on the man.

According to a colleague Lieutenant Andre, Sastre has worked over 20 years as a police officer and “she is calm and she knows that she acted correctly.”

Um…. correctly?

She acted like a freaking BOSS, that’s what!
