Book Description
This collection of true stories examines incidents involving the use of firearms by ordinary citizens for personal protection against criminals. Three basic types of events are discussed: armed defense at home, at work, and in a public place. Each episode is explored in detail, with a look at the citizen involved as well as how their defensive actions aided them or could be improved. From convenience-store robberies to police arrests gone awry, these stories provide memorable reminders of firearm self-defense dos and don'ts.

So far as school shootings go, there was one the week before the recent Northern Illinois University shooting in which a pair of armed attackers in a schoolroom, one with a firearm and the other with a knife, were shot to death by the school's armed teachers in the room. I wonder why it was we heard nothing about that during tall the hand-wringing about the poor unarmed victims in Illinois being slaughtered like sheep.
