Armed Citizen® Today
On the morning of Oct. 12, in Ashe County, N.C., a woman called police to report a domestic dispute. When police arrived at the scene, they located the woman safe and hiding in the woods behind the home and arranged for her to leave with family members.
Around 3 a.m. the next morning, they received another call from a woman who said a man had kicked down the door to her Airbnb and she had responded by shooting him. Police discovered the man was the same who’d been in the dispute with his wife, though reports are unclear about whether the armed citizen was his wife or another woman.
The 33-year-old suspect was transported to the hospital but survived his gunshot wounds and now faces charges of felony first-degree burglary and assault. The local sheriff applauded the woman’s preparedness.
“I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and the right to protect yourself and your family … When someone forcibly enters an occupied residence, they create a dangerous situation with potentially serious consequences. I will always stand behind the right to lawful self-defense.” (wataugaonline.com; 10/26/26)

After an earlier burglary at his Chicago, Ill., home, college professor James Kenevan was prepared when he heard glass breaking at the rear of his house. Grabbing his revolver, Kenevan investigated. When an intruder suddenly jumped out of a hallway, Kenevan fired, wounding the burglar. The professor then administered fist aid, and the man admitted burglarizing Kevenan's house the day before.
