THE GOOD NEWS FOR TODAY IS THAT SOMETIMES THE GOOD GUYS WIN!
One of the reasons that I like getting First Freedom from the National Rifle Association is the page they call Armed Citizen. This reports cases where ordinary people defended their homes and families, or their businesses and their lives, from criminals who cared nothing for them.
Now, Healy Law Offices in Tyler, Texas, has gathered hundreds of these short reports onto a page they call Stories of Self-Defense. The list can be searched by state, date, name, etc. Here are a couple from Tennessee:
64. John Hercules was working at his Nashville, Tennessee, jewelry store when two teenagers entered, displayed a gun and attempted to rob the business. When Hercules confronted the pair, one shot him in the shoulder. Hercules returned fire and fatally wounded his attacker. The other robber fled but was arrested soon after. Police said he confessed to several other robberies. (The Banner, Nashville, TN, 09/12/91)
More recently,
629. Richmond Watkins, believed to be Haywood County, Tennessee’s, oldest man at 108 years old, may have appeared to be easy prey to a criminal 84 years his junior. At first, the younger crook attempted to trick Watkins into thinking he owed the man money for some firewood. When the ruse didn’t work, the man grew violent, putting a butcher knife to Walkins’ neck and threatening to kill him if he didn’t hand over his money. Watkins reached for his pocket, but instead of a wallet, pulled out a .32 and shot his attacker in the neck, seriously wounding him. (The States Graphic,Brownsville. TN, 6/13/96)
Every one of us, even those without firearms, is a bit safer when the bad guys don’t know who is armed and who is not. Learn who’s part of your system of protection by searching for your state!
