10 TIMES GOOD SAMARITANS WITH GUN SAVED LIVES

Even though we don't often see news coverage when good people effectively defend themselves with firearms, here are 10 times when good people came to the aid of their communities over deadly criminals.

Mia Cathell (@MiaCathell on Twitter) put together a very well documented list of 10 times ordinary good citizens stopped murderous attacks:

1. Elisjsha Dicken's incredible 40-yard engagement in an Indiana Mall food court.

2. Vista View Apartments Attack — Charleston, WV

3. West Freeway Church of Christ — White Settlement, TX

4. New Life Church Shooting — Colorado Springs, CO

5. Palms Internet Cafe Armed Robbery — Ocala, FL

6. Three Corners Apartments Killing — Fort Smith, AR

7. Peace In The City Scare — Titusville, FL

8. Playoffz Nightclub Shooting — Lyman, SC

9. Lodi Street Shooting — Syracuse, NY

10. Media Madhouse Hold-Up — Elkhart, IN

Bottom line here is that you are not wrong if you feel the need to protect yourself and your loved ones in this period of social, cultural, and political fracturing.
