A mother was home alone while her children were at school when two intruders broke into the house through her patio and laundry room. She immediately responded as if her two children were there and grabbed her pistol. As the trespassers were trying to get into the kitchen, she revealed her gun to them. Luckily, it was enough to scare away the intruders. (The Gaston Gazette, Stanley, NC, 9/26/17) 

From the Armed Citizen® Archives
December 1982
An armed robber confronted Columbia, S.C., liquor store operator Kyle Roberson and told him to get on the floor. Unsatisfied with the operator’s slow compliance, the gunman squeezed the trigger twice, but his revolver misfired. Roberson, who had a pistol tucked under his belt, came up firing and killed the would-be robber, who it turned out was an ex-convict out of jail on bond. (The State, Columbia, SC)
