A woman who has a unique side of facing a tragedy from gun violence is among the speakers at this weekend's NRA Convention in Indy.
INDIANAPOLIS — On the heels of this latest mass shooting -- guns and gun laws will be front and center in Indianapolis this week.It runs this Friday through Sunday at the Indiana Convention Center.A woman, who’s life was shattered by gun violence, will also speak this weekend.Typically-- victims of gun violence advocate for stricter gun laws, but this tragedy has moved her to fight harder for gun rights and change laws around the country.
Despite living through that gun violence tragedy, she's focused on sharing her story and her reasons why she feels gun free zones are a danger.“Because of Tennessee state law at that time, I had to leave my legal, permitted firearm that I normally carry for self-defense locked inside of my vehicle out in the parking lot,” Goeser said. “I'll probably wonder for the rest of my life if i could have prevented that. Of course, I'll never know because I was denied a chance.
Goeser will spend time in her presentation speaking about last year’s incident that left three people dead at the Greenwood Park Mall – another gun free zone.
