Plot Summary
Allie leads an unfocused life with no job and a lame boyfriend. So it's no surprise when she hops on an RV full of karate rockers headed to Texas after she is attacked on the streets of New York. Seeming to improve as she settles into the slower pace of Austin, her fears continue to haunt her. She quickly falls into Texas gun culture as a means to feel safe. She walks the fine line between reasonable self-preservation and paranoid withdrawal. Can she maintain healthy relationships, or will the weapons she uses to protect herself cause her problems worse than the ones she was fleeing?

Fresh: "Loves Her Gun" is one of the most soothing examinations of fear you're ever likely to see.
Fresh: Arrives at a destination that may strike some as too pat, but getting there is nonetheless consistently interesting.
Fresh: Marslett has a real feeling for this place and these people ...
Customer Reviews
A subtle but powerful look at fear.
"Loves Her Gun" is a look at fear and how we deal with it, something we just don't see often enough of in the movies. Take the victimized girl out of violent New York, drop her in a gun culture like Texas, and just watch how her outlook shifts. Allie, the victim of a violent attack in Brooklyn, impulsively heads out to Austin with some (very) new friends. Once there, she she finds herself embracing new ideas about how we can protect (or isolate) ourselves with weapons. The outcome is open to debate (everything's subjective, after all). But the journey there is one I highly recommend.
