More than eight decades of life experience have taught one woman how to survive. A young man who broke into her home didn’t have such a good fortune. When the teenager forcibly entered a Marion, Ark., home and came toward the elderly resident in a threatening manner in the wee hours of the morning one Sunday, she fatally shot him. The shooting was under investigation, but no charges have been filed. (wreg.com, Memphis, TN, 10/31/17)

When an armed robber entered a local U-Haul, brandished a gun and demanded money, one of the employees decided he was going to stand up to him. The employee, who has a valid concealed-handgun permit, retrieved his handgun and shot the burglar multiple times. The criminal was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A jury ruled that the U-Haul worker was justified in killing the robber. (kgw.com, Portland, OR, 1/22/18)
