The Armed Citizen

Each year thousands of law abiding citizens defend themselves with a firearm. Their actions stop crimes, save innocent lives, and often render the criminal either injured or dead.  Unfortunately the major news organizations ignore these stories because they do not fit their anti-gun template. Thus, many pro second amendment organizations spend a lot of time and effort going through local news articles to find these incidents. Here is a small compilation of articles. More will be posted, so return often.

These on line articles are from local news organizations and the links may not stay active for long.  If you find a link that no longer brings you to the article, please help by contacting the coalition webmaster.  CLICK HERE
