In town for the Quarter Horse Show, this lady grabbed her gun when an intruder in the motel room where she was staying demanded money. He's dead. She had a permit. She probably saved their lives, but is very upset. The annual All-American Quarter Horse Congress is in its third week at the state fairgrounds and ends Sunday. It is the world's largest single-breed horse show and attracts more than 600,000 people to Columbus each year. Don't mess with the cowgirls.
Update: He's now been identified -- had a prison record and was wanted in Missouri.

You don't need a permit in Ohio to protect yourself from violent felons in motel rooms.
If you legally occupy a motel room and someone trespasses for the purposes of committing a felony you may simply shoot them. Ohio R.C. § 2901.05(C)(2), (3).
She may have had a permit, but she didn't need a permit.
Nobody should need a permit to defend themselves from criminals. If you want to force people to get permits, force the criminals to get permits.
