Nikki Goeser is on the podcast today. She tells a story of loss more tragic than any person should have to face.
It was more than 10 years ago in a bar in Nashville, Tennessee. Nikki Goeser and her husband Ben were doing their karaoke business on the side one evening. Then they saw him. Nikki had been stalked for some time by a strange man. It had been a concern. But to that point it had been managed. Yet there he was in the bar. And then it happened. Ben was shot multiple times in the chest by this murderer in a bar where guns are not allowed. Nikki had made the fateful decision to follow the law and keep her gun in her car. And now she will never know if she might have been able to stop this tragedy. The murderer broke the law carrying in a gun-free zone. Nikki followed the law. And life hasn't been the same since.
I had the honor of working with Nikki Goeser when I was Chief of Staff for Cong. Thomas Massie of Kentucky. I've always been amazed how strong she is having suffered this horrible tragedy in her life. After Ben was shot, she eventually got involved to help others by giving them the chance she didn't have. She became an activist for Second Amendment rights working to remove restrictions placed upon law-abiding gun owners placing them at risk of harm by law-breakers.
