Armed Citizens Stop Mass Murder

Louisiana – President Obama said taking away our guns will make us safer.  Some news reporters said the same thing.  They say a good guy with a gun never stops a bad guy with a gun.  Well isn’t this a surprise.  Here are five examples of self-defense that happened within the last month.  They show people who not only stopped a criminal and saved lives.

These armed civilians might have stopped mass murder!

1- Katie and Matt Klaxon were filling up their car at a Springfield, Missouri gas station.  Their four children were in the car as well.  Matt was pumping gas when a stranger approached Katie who was still sitting in the car.  Themy house and that I have a gun.  I’m convinced I did the right thing. He made the choice to come into my house.  He was not going to get past me to get to my children.”  Emergency medical services transported the wounded intruder to the hospital by helicopter.  The intruder is expected to survive and will face charges when he is released.

5- Two men entered a mobile T-Mobile phone store in Chicago.  For a few minutes, they shopped for phones.  Then they pulled out guns and started robbing the place.  One of the store employees has his concealed carry permit and was armed.  He presented his own handgun and shot the two robbers.  He hit one robber in the groin and the arm, and the other in the abdomen and the arm.  The thieves were able to run from the store while another store employee following them outside and gave police their description.  The thieves drove to a nearby hospital where police took them into custody.

The store manager said, “I think concealed carry is a great opportunity for managers, workers and employees to protect themselves.  Our employee did a great job to protect himself and others.”   Local businessmen said the cell phone store had been robbed several times in the last month.  A regional manager for T-Mobile, said the company allows employees with concealed carry licenses to have weapons at work.

Politicians and the news media says it doesn’t happen, but armed citizens defend themselves every day.  You always suspected that was true.  Now you know.

I report on citizen self-defense every week.  My list of armed citizens stopping mass murder in December is here.
