I've decided to make a thread to capture the good news stories where citizens with firearms lived to see another day. I will bump this thread from time to time. Feel free to do the same. Of course, that means the nutjobs will post shootings from other nutjobs as deflection. Not to worry, in the long run, the power of good always outweighs that of evil.
