Maybi Izquierdo said she spent her birthday in jail last year after using her gun to defend herself at home against an aggressive male roommate. Second Amendment helped protect"I think I cried," Izquierdo told Fox News Digital of her Sept. 25, 2022 arrest."I wanted to talk to my mom. I wanted to talk to my dad … and let them know what happened."
Izquierdo said on the evening of Sept. 25, 2022, she had just cleaned the home she shared with five other people after a day of cooking and planned to take a shower and relax in her room. The male roommate returned home that evening and, according to Izquierdo, appeared to be intoxicated and began trying to strike up a conversation with the woman. "He wanted to talk to me, and I wasn't ready for a conversation. I was tired. I wanted to take a shower and go to my room.
Izquierdo said her other roommates were home during the incident but"got scared" and left her alone with the man.
