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)

The Armed Citizen® Extra
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)

President’s Column | President Meets President

I am quite certain, that for the first time in NRA history the President of the United States met with the NRA president, the NRA president asked for his support for national Right-to-Carry (NRTC), and then, on a national stage, President Trump called out the NRA president’s name and pledged his support for national Right-to-Carry legislation. But that’s exactly what happened at a rally near Allentown, Pa., in late June.
