Armed Citizen® Today

A 46-year-old man was shot by the female resident of a Savannah, Ga., home in an apparent self-defense situation, police say.

Officers responded to a report of shots fired at the address just before 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 26. There, they found a 46-year-old suspect suffering from a gunshot wound, and he was transported to a local hospital for treatment of his wounds.

Following an investigation, the wounded suspect was charged with simple assault and criminal trespass. (WSAV News; Savannah, Ga.; 10/27/25)

From the Armed Citizen® Archives – December 1964

In the early morning hours in Stewartstown, Pa., Harry H. Grimm heard the lock being forced on his apartment door. Grabbing a 12-ga. shotgun, Grimm shouted, “If you come in, I’ll shoot.” When the door burst open, Grimm dropped the intruder with one fatal shot. It was later learned that the would-be burglar had broken into the same apartment three times previously and had served 18 months for one of the break-ins. (Erie Times News, Stewartstown, Pa.)
