A Chicago man, 30, was leaving a business Dec. 1 at 4:45 p.m. when two men approached, at least one of whom was armed. With his handgun drawn, the one suspect allegedly demanded that the man hand over his property. Instead, the armed citizen, who has a valid concealed-carry license, drew his own handgun and fired at the armed man, who fled on foot with his accomplice. No arrests were made, and the suspects were still at large, according to Chicago Police. (Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago, Ill., 12/2/2019)

Despite living on the same street as a police department, a South Carolina man was forced to rely on his Second Amendment right to defend himself one Tuesday night. When two men charged into his house, the homeowner was forced to think quickly. Being armed, he produced his firearm, and used it to fight back against his attackers. One intruder died at the scene, while another was found wounded at a McDonald's about a mile away. (wjcl.com, Hampton, S.C., 4/25/19)
