Rapper T.I & Wife in Support of Daughter Carrying a Gun for Protection

Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr., better known by his stage name T.I. and his glamorous wife Tameka Harris ‘Tiny’ are totally fine with their daughter Zonnique Pullins’ carrying a gun to protect herself.

Pullins, 20, who is Tiny’s daughter, was arrested last week Thursday after officials at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport discovered a .380 Ruger semi-automatic handgun in her purse.

According to Dailymail, Tiny accompanied her daughter to purchase the firearm after a fan grabbed her during an event and she received online threats.

The celebrity couple both agreed that the teen needed the semi-automatic pistol for protection. And so Tiny accompanied her daughter to purchase the weapon.

Reports also claimed that a source close to T.I. said that the teen had decided to catch a flight out of the airport to go see her boyfriend, and she grabbed the wrong purse … not realising the gun was inside.

She was arrested and couldn’t produce the paperwork of the gun because they were with her mum, meaning she had been granted a concealed carry permit.

After her arrest, she was booked and her weapon confiscated.

Zonnique was then transferred to Clayton County Jail. Her step father T.I. reportedly hired a lawyer to defend her during legal proceedings.

She was later released.
