Al Swearengen presents "The Armed Citizen"

Studies indicate that firearms are used more than 2 million times a year for personal protection, and that the presence of a firearm, without a shot being fired, prevents crime in many instances. Shooting can usually be justified only where crime constitutes an immediate, imminent threat to life, limb, or in some cases, property. It is in this spirit that I will reproduce here, for your reading pleasure, excerpts from the "Armed Citizen" column of the NRA's official journal "America's 1st Freedom". Enjoy!

When a Harlem thug saw Margaret Johnson, a grandmother who has been confined to a wheelchair since a 2001 injury, he thought he had an easy target. The friendly Johnson said hello to the man, but according to police, he responded by grabbing her around the neck in an attempt to steal her necklace. But he had underestimated Johnson, an NRA member and accomplished target shooter who was on her way to the gun range. She reached for her registered pistol and shot her assailant, sending him running. Police caught up with Johnson's assailant half a block away.
