ATM Customer Thwarts Robber
(March 2010) - A routine stop at the ATM turns into a robbery attempt. But the robbery victim was armed and legally carrying his CCW. Surprise!
Those with a CCW can find themselves literally walking (or driving) into trouble. As the stories above show, the criminals are the ones looking for trouble, not the citizens. The criminals get to choose the time, place and method of the attack, even when it's in your own home. The following stories illustrate the point.
Wheelchair-bound Does Not Mean Defenseless

Young Boy Defends Self, Sister from Home Invaders
(July 2009) - A 10 year old boy defends his sister and himself from two hard-core criminals during a home invasion robbery. From now on, this youngster deserves to be called a young man.
The news media plays up stories where a pre-teen calls 911 for help. What we used to call being level-headed is now "heroic". But these two young men showed true heroism by standing up and protecting family members.
