Armed Citizen® Today
A man was exiting his vehicle the morning of Jan. 27 in Chicago when two men ran up to him and allegedly attempted to rob him. Seeing the suspects’ guns, the man drew his own concealed-carry gun and fired, striking one of them multiple times in the legs.
The two suspects face felony charges of armed robbery; no injuries or charges were indicated for the armed citizen. (cbsnews.com, Chicago, Ill., 1/29/26)

As he was locking his San Francisco, Calif., grocery for the night, Gene Hui saw four young men charging him. He jumped into his pickup, but the gang closed in and yanked the grocer and a waiting friend to the street.
After beating Hui with a bottle, a pair of the thugs tried to wrest a briefcase containing the day’s receipts from him. But Hui countered with a drawn derringer and shot and injured the two men. Police arrested two of the suspects shortly thereafter when they sought treatment at a local hospital. (The Chronicle, San Francisco, Calif.)
