Armed Citizen® Today

A 60-year-old Philadelphia, Pa., man defended himself when he encountered two youths with criminal intentions on Jan. 13, 2022.

The man was getting out of his parked car in west Mount Airy that Thursday night, when he was allegedly approached by two teenage boys. One of the teens threatened the man with a gun and demanded that he hand over the keys to his car. Yet unbeknownst to the two young crooks, the man was a licensed concealed-carry holder.

In response to the threat, the man drew his concealed pistol and opened fire on the armed teen. The teen also returned fire, with at least 17 round discharged by both sides during the exchange. During this exchange, the armed teen was struck twice in the legs. Afterwards, he was found by police in a car that had been stolen a week prior and was taken to the hospital in critical condition. As for the armed citizen, he was luckily uninjured during the incident and did not face charges. (philadelphia.cbslocal.com, Houston, Texas, 01/14/2022)

Linda Henderson had received phone calls from a stranger who said he intended to "come over." When two men began to batter down the door of the 53-year-old woman's north Houston, Texas, apartment, Henderson immediately phoned the police. As the door was kicked in Henderson fired several shots from a .38-cal. revolver, fatally wounding one intruder. The other intruder escaped. No charges were filed against Henderson.
