Then, suddenly, a man came up to her passenger door and tried to get inside the vehicle. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;So, as he comes up he&#8217;s close and he&#8217;s pretty aggressive trying to get the car door open makes eye contact with me he&#8217;s still trying to get it open a couple times,&#8221; explained Taylor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taylor, who carries a firearm for self-defense, drew her pistol and pointed it at the perp.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"see-also-hogg-makes-demands-to-biden-administration-we-need-a-federal-office-of-gun-violence-prevention\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/hogg-biden-administration-gun-violence-prevention\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"mother-iraq-vet-uses-pistol-to-foil-attempted-carjacking\" title=\"Mother, Iraq Vet Uses Pistol to Foil\u00a0Attempted Carjacking\">Hogg Makes Demands to Biden Administration: We Need A Federal \u2018Office of Gun Violence prevention\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s locked and loaded,&#8221; she recalled saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The individual ran off and Taylor did not have to fire a shot. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You shouldn&#8217;t have to navigate your own city like a war zone. It&#8217;s un-American,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cThe crime is out of control and it&#8217;s terrifying. At this point, having to use the same tactics in an American city that you use in Iraq and Afghanistan simply to navigate through the city it&#8217;s scary and I&#8217;m not the only mom feeling this way.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police are treating this incident as a \u201cdisturbance\u201d for now but an investigation is ongoing.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe NOPD is actively investigating a disturbance that occurred on Interstate 10 West at the Canal Street exit on February 11, 2022 at about 5:20 p.m. The incident classification is based on the available information regarding the incident at the time the report was written. We do not have any additional information to provide this time,\u201d they said in a statement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Taylor, she said her military training and familiarity with firearms prepared her for such an encounter. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The emotions honestly your body takes in a different form I stayed in my body of course but everything transformed I&#8217;m trained to do this I&#8217;ve gone to classes I&#8217;m prior military if I have to pull this trigger that&#8217;s what I have to do,\u201d Taylor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crime is up significantly in The Big Easy over the past two years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metropolitan Crime Commission President Rafael Goyeneche spelled out just how bad things have gotten. &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom 2019 to 2021, carjackings are up over 160 percent,\u201d Goyeneche told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwltv.com\/article\/news\/crime\/homicides-carjackings-shootings-on-the-rise-new-orleans-crime-commission-reports\/289-535d160a-58c9-4381-aa6f-9a956c9f46ea\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"mother-iraq-vet-uses-pistol-to-foil-attempted-carjacking\" title=\"Mother, Iraq Vet Uses Pistol to Foil\u00a0Attempted Carjacking\">WWL<\/a> last December. \u201cMurders are up the same period of time, over 80 percent.
