Here are three more examples of armed self-defense that happened within the last month.\u00a0 These examples show people who not only stopped criminals and saved lives, but some of these armed victims may have stopped mass murder!\u00a0 Armed civilians like you saved lives until the police could come and make an arrest.<\/p>\n
You did it, yet the media never mentioned it or gave you credit. \u00a0Let me say, \u201cThank you!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, ordinary citizens like you stopped mass murder.\u00a0 Mass murder is defined as four or more victims killed in the same event.\u00a0 Many people were at risk in the stories this month.<\/p>\n A store clerk at a Houston family dollar store saved his life<\/a><\/strong> and the lives of his fellow employees and customers Friday morning.\u00a0 A masked man entered the store and walked up to the clerk.\u00a0 The robber had his hand tucked into his jacket pocket, and said he had a gun.\u00a0 The robber demanded the money in the cash register.\u00a0 The store clerk drew his own firearm and shot the robber.<\/p>\n The store has been robbed several times.\u00a0 The previous robbery was just before Thanksgiving.\u00a0 In that incident, the clerk handed over the money from the register, and then the robber beat the clerk anyway.\u00a0 Now the clerk has his Texas license to carry a handgun and was carrying concealed at work.\u00a0 This time, none of the employees or customers in the store were hurt.<\/p>\n 88-year-old Bertha Tate lives in Chicago, and has been a victim before.<\/a><\/strong> \u00a0Her husband was shot and killed 65 years ago during a home invasion robbery. \u00a0She has been a gun owner ever since. \u00a0Living on the south side of Chicago for all that time, she\u2019s seen other friends and relatives killed by criminals. \u00a0Unfortunately, that happens every day in Chicago.<\/p>\n This time was different.\u00a0 Anthony Tate, Bertha\u2019s son, was sitting in an overstuffed chair as someone tried to break through the front window of her apartment very early one morning. \u00a0The family gun was tucked into the cushions of that overstuffed chair. \u00a0Anthony grabbed the gun and shot the intruder as he came through the window.\u00a0 Then Anthony called police.<\/p>\n The police followed the trail of blood as the intruder ran to his getaway car at the end of the block. \u00a0They followed the robber as he checked himself into the hospital emergency room with a gunshot wound to his arm. \u00a0The 36-year-old criminal was expected to recover from his gunshot wound while sitting in the Cook County jail.<\/p>\n A felon out on parole<\/a><\/strong> walked into a Los Angeles area jewelry store, announced a robbery, and drew his gun. \u00a0The robber threatened the store owner, but the jewelry store owner was armed with a gun of his own. \u00a0The owner shot his attacker.\u00a0 The owner then called police and remained at the scene until police arrived.<\/p>\n The robber had been out on parole for less than a month.\u00a0 He was already being sought by police for an armed robbery at another store, and a separate home invasion robbery in which an elderly couple were murdered. \u00a0California laws already makes it illegal for a felon to have a firearm.. but criminals don\u2019t obey the law.<\/p>\n I bring you these updates each month. \u00a0I also report on civilian self-defense each week<\/a>, and we have plenty to talk about.<\/p>\n
