From the Armed Citizen® Archives – December 1976
Mrs. Louis Romano of North Stonington, Conn., found that burglars had been breaking into her home. So, accompanied by her daughter, she staked out the house with a shotgun. When the two women heard footsteps inside the house, they entered, capturing two teenage burglars and held them until police came. (The Day, New London, Conn.)
