Default True Stories — August/September 2017

[h=1]True Stories — August/September 2017[/h] By Duncan Mackie // 08/30/2017


[h=3]Police Credit Armed Texas Citizen With Stopping Active Shooter[/h] A man walked into a popular Arlington restaurant and started shouting at the manager. When the manager tried to calm him down, the stranger pulled a gun and shot the manager dead. That’s when a restaurant customer with a concealed handgun license drew his pistol and killed the shooter, stopping the incident. Arlington police credit the armed citizen with stopping what could have been a mass murder. Police made it clear that the citizen defender would not face charges in the incident.

[h=3]Michigan CCW Holder Foils Quartet Of Robbers[/h] An Ypsilanti man buzzed some people into his apartment building only to find he had a problem: One of the men pulled a gun and tried to rob him. Being legally armed himself, he drew his own pistol and fired on the man, missing the armed robber but putting all four to flight. Police responding to the victim’s call apprehended four men fleeing the scene who turned out to be the suspects. Nothing was taken in the robbery, and no one was injured. The police investigation is continuing.

[h=3]Texas Man Defends Against Deranged Friend[/h] A Bowie County man had to defend himself against a friend who had been acting strangely of late. When the friend entered his room late one night, acting crazy and pointing a rifle at him, the would-be victim felt he had no choice but to take up a pistol he kept next to his bed for defense. Firing one shot, he stopped the attack when his friend fell to the floor. The defender then rendered CPR to the friend until medical personnel arrived. The deranged friend later died of his injuries. No charges have been filed in the case.

[h=3]Nevada Man Shoots Knife-Wielding Neighbor[/h] A Las Vegas man awoke early one morning to find a strange man wielding a knife in his bedroom. Fearing for his life, he took up a pistol he kept for self-defense and fired a single shot at the intruder, killing him. The intruder turned out to be a neighbor, though one the defending homeowner did not know. Las Vegas Metro Police say the preliminary investigation results appear to support a case of self-defense.

[h=3]California Store Clerk Prevents Armed Robbery[/h] When an armed and masked man entered a Fairfield smoke shop and demanded money, an alert store clerk drew his own gun and fired on the robber, hitting him in the chest and stopping the crime. The subsequent police investigation determined the robber had a realistic-looking BB gun, which did not alter the self-defense nature of the shooting. The store clerk legally possessed the pistol he used and acted in self-defense. He will not face charges.

[h=3]Texas Homeowner Outshoots Three Drive-By Shooters[/h] A Houston man was outside his home one Saturday morning when a car drove slowly by and the three occupants opened fire. The homeowner hid behind a bush and returned fire, striking all three of the assailants while avoiding being wounded himself. The wounded driver of the car crashed into a vehicle. One assailant died at the scene, while the two others fled on foot and sought medical attention. One of the wounded assailants died in the hospital. Police are treating the homeowner’s actions as self-defense.

[h=3]Louisiana Homeowner Stops Home Invasion[/h] A Swartz couple was in their home one evening when an intruder forced his way into the home and attacked them. Fearing for their lives, one of the homeowners grabbed a pistol and shot the intruder. The wounded burglar later died of his wounds. Police are treating the incident as self-defense.

[h=3]Missouri 7-Eleven Clerk Foils Robbery[/h] A female store clerk was outside the store on a smoke break at about 3 a.m. when a stranger who announced a robbery and demanded money approached her. The clerk, who was armed, drew her pistol and fired on the robber, who returned fire. When the exchange was over, the robber was mortally wounded in the chest, arm and thigh, while the defending clerk suffered a leg wound.
Fox 2, St. Louis, Missouri
[h=3]Texas Pizza Driver Kills Armed Robber[/h] A Domino’s Pizza driver in Mesquite was delivering a pizza order when he was met by two men who put a pistol to his head and demanded money. When he did not respond to the robbers’ demands quickly enough, one robber lowered the pistol and fired a single shot off to the driver’s side to intimidate him. That’s when the driver, realizing the seriousness of the situation, drew his own pistol and fired on the robbers three times, killing the man who had held the pistol to his head and driving off the other one. Both robbers were 16 years old. The pizza driver was carrying his pistol on an Arizona permit, which is recognized in Texas. Domino’s Pizza has suspended the driver from his job. Police are investigating the shooting as self-defense.
The Dallas Morning News, Texas
[h=3]Washington State Man Stops Home Invader[/h] A Browns Point man heard noises on a porch of his home at about 3 a.m. When he went to investigate, he encountered an armed stranger who forced his way into the home. The homeowner managed to reach a pistol he kept in his residence and fired a single shot at the intruder, mortally wounding him and ending the incident.

I may have seen one of these stories on yahoo news.

The story was written from the leftist opinion that the person
defending himself was doing so illegally.

Liberals don't seem to understand that not protecting yourself has far worse consequences.

As they say, it is better to be tried by a jury of 12 than to be carried by pallbearers of 6.
