From the Armed Citizen® Archives – June 1971

The sound of breaking glass in his home one night woke James Siciliano, 80, of Neptune, N.J. Going to the kitchen to investigate, Siciliano discovered two men attempting to force open his backdoor. When Siciliano got a shotgun and the two burglars saw it, they fled. (The Asbury Park Evening Press, Asbury Park, N.J.)
