Defensive Use of Firearms

A police officer needed 22 rounds of .40 caliber S&W to bring down an armed attacker.

Last week, a 65-year-old woman saved her fiancé’s life when she shot and killed an intruder in their rural Texas home.

Door cam footage from a suburban home in Illinois captured the harrowing moments last weekend when two intruders wearing medical masks and gloves attempted to force their way through the front door.

A woman opened fire on people outside a cannabis dispensary in suburban Tulsa, Oklahoma on Friday, March 27. She was killed by a man with a concealed carry permit.

A Virginia man has been jailed without bond after he opened fire on three masked suspects who tried to rob his store early Sunday morning.

“[The customer] shot him four or five times,” said Khawaja. “It happened like in 45 seconds. Like 30 to 45 seconds.”

The suspect entered the restaurant at approximately 10 p.m., to find only a pair of customers in the establishment. That couple, however, were two married off-duty police officers out on a date night.

Two armed self-defense stories this week illustrate why it pays to be prepared at all hours of the day. In both cases, the would-be burglars attempted a home invasion in broad daylight—until they met the armed, unhappy homeowners.

After being shot once, the burglar ran out of the house to his car and drove away. Police found the car crashed about two blocks from the home.
