On January 26, 2016, Kristi was violently attacked in her car after leaving her law firm in Louisville, Kentucky. Kristi, a vocal advocate for concealed carry rights, was able to defend and save her life by shooting her attacker with her concealed carry weapon, after a significant and terrifying struggle. Since the attack, Kristi had to have reconstructive surgery on her hip and moved home to Indianapolis to heal with her friends and family close-by. Kristi chose to share her story so that other women may be motivated to arm themselves and potentially save their own lives and know that they too can become victors instead of victims. Kristi continues to practice health law and loves spending time with her cat, Peach, and puppy, Reagan.
