Ironically she had decided against carrying a small revolver-that could have dramatically changed the day's events-in her purse that day out of a fear of losing her chiropractors license if caught possessing a weapon. In this autobiography, she chronicles her evolution from a small-town chiropractor into a national icon for the right to armed self-defense. Her transformation into a high-profile, gun-rights activist began when her impassioned calls for the right of citizens to carry guns for self-protection thrust her into the middle of the gun-control debate. She repeatedly testified under oath against the ineffectiveness of gun-control laws that, in her opinion, disarmed law-abiding citizens, making them potential victims of criminals who did not obey the law. This position on gun legislation paved the way for a decade-long tenure as a member of the Texas House of Representatives, where, in addition to championing Second Amendment and privacy rights, she served as a member of the House Rural and Veterans and Military Affairs Caucuses, Chair of the House Select Committee on Child Welfare and Foster Care, and Chair of the Human Services Committee.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51885595164960,"sku":"NEW096567844X","price":23.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71yNOosmuvL.jpg?v=1781895928","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/from-lubys-to-the-legislature-one-womans-fight-against-gun-control-096567844x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
