After a frightening security breach, actress Kelly Carlson knew she never wanted to feel uneasy about her personal safety ever again. Carlson, who gained national fame starring on the hit show ‘Nip/Tuck,’ explained why she felt the need to arm herself. Carlson revealed that she purchased a gun for protection after multiple scary run-ins with stalkers.

“All my technology was compromised, I was ambushed in the car, you name it,” Carlson said. She added that her home’s security cameras were turned off remotely and even her Medeco locks were bypassed.

Carlson said she recognises that firearms are dangerous and are designed to kill, and gun ownership comes with a tremendous amount of responsibility.
