Section 2.2 is her best bet. I would hope the bar for that is lower considering she is pregnant. How much scuffle is a pregnant woman even able to sustain without injury to the baby, not much of as all. Gun pulled.

Right, but she was safely in the car and decided to get out again.

I’m not local, so I have no idea how responsive the police are in that area. If it is part of Detroit, probably not too responsive. Realistically, had she stayed in the car and the blacks had done something to the car— keyed it, or slashed a tire— the video would have never been seen again. Only because the white woman got out and pulled the pistol are we seeing the video.

Had she stayed in the car and called the police, or stayed in the car and waited for the black women to lose interest, or all of the above, this would have probably ended up as a big nothingburger. But now, I’m guessing that the white lady may need a lawyer, and that is costly, maybe $25K or more. She’ll probably lose her permit, assuming she had one, and never be able to carry legally in that locale again.

This is a good example of why it can be wise to carry OC or some less lethal alternative.

Somewhat agree, but it is an exaggeration to describe a couple of obese black women as “multiple assailants,” and my wager would be, if this went to trial, that argument would not do well in front of a jury. What if half the jury looks like the obese black harassers?

In all likelihood, it would never go to trial, but it will still cost the woman real money, and maybe more. If she can’t afford a decent lawyer, particularly, and has to rely on a PD, that could be bad for her.

And now we read in a different thread that both the whites are facing felony charges, which means no more firearm ownership if convicted, and the husband lost his job.

Detroit News:

"Two arraigned after gun allegedly drawn over bump at Orion Twp. Chipotle"

The article states "A day after the Wednesday evening confrontation, a husband and wife were charged with assault, and the man was fired from his Oakland University job. Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper charged Jillian Wuestenberg, 32, and Eric Wuestenberg, 42, each with one count of felonious assault, a four-year felony. The Independence Township couple each possessed one loaded firearm and CPL licenses, Sheriff Mike Bouchard said.

The couple was arraigned Thursday at 52-3 District Court in Rochester Hills. Both were given a $50,000 personal bond."

"As part of the bond conditions, they must turn over all firearms, not engage in any assaultive behavior, and may not leave the state," sheriff's officials said.
