Description

On October 16, 1991, Suzanna Gratia Hupp witnessed the tragic shooting of 23 people at Luby’s Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, among them her parents. Satirically she had made up our minds 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 chiropractor’s 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 started when her impassioned calls for the right of citizens to carry guns for self-protection thrust her into the middle of the gun-keep an eye on debate. She again and again testified under oath against the ineffectiveness of gun-keep an eye on laws that, in her opinion, disarmed law-abiding citizens, making them potential sufferers of criminals who did not obey the law. This position on gun legislation prepared the ground for a decade-long tenure as a member of the Texas House of Representatives, where, along with 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 Make a choice Committee on Child Welfare and Foster Care, and Chair of the Human Services and products Committee.
