President Obama
calls for a ban on assault weapons and ammunition magazines with more than 10
rounds, and universal background checks. So far, the proposals are a tough sell
here in Oklahoma, and Gov. Mary Fallin says, no matter what, she's going to
protect the state's second amendment right.
The plan has
already upset gun owners across the state. Last week, we talked to a Shawnee
woman, who had her .32-caliber pistol ready for a burglar who kicked down her
front door. She and her husband, weighed in on the president's sweeping gun
proposals.It was broad daylight on a Friday afternoon when Pam Loman had thought she may have to use her pistol for the first time.
"I'm glad I had that right to have that gun in the house, to protect me," said Pam Loman.
"Without that right, she just would have been somebody scared, probably would have got killed, no telling what," said Pam's husband, James.
Right in her backyard, Pam is able to practice firing her gun. She says it was her only defense, at a time when she was alone, and had nothing else to protect herself.
