Susanna Hupp Video

You forum veterans have probably seen this before but it was the first time I had seen it. Found it on the combat carry forum. Very powerful.
I'm sure many of us here are familiar with the story of Susanna Hupp. For those who aren't, Hupp is the author of the Texas "shall-issue" concealed carry law. Mrs. Hupp was motivated by a life-changing experience.
On Oct. 16, 1991, She met her parents for lunch at the Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, the same day George Hennard drove his pickup truck through the restaurant's front window, produced a pistol and deliberately shot customers one by one. He murdered 23 people, and then committed suicide when cornered by police. At the time Texas law did not allow concealed carry and Susanna Hupp's unloaded self-defense handgun was locked in her car. She watched helplessly as her father and mother were shot to death.
Here is a video of her testimony that I happened to come across on the internet and I wanted to share it because I think anyone who watches can't logically deny that having a concealed weapon in her situation is a good thing, maybe you could show it to an anti-carry friend or relative, it just may change their minds. The segment about the Assault Weapons is a cool bonus. Also, take a look a Chuck Shumers expression during the whole thing, It's really priceless.

On a lighter note, I also came across this funny piece on YouTube featuring an episode of American Dad and how guns defend people.
