At least 12 armed citizens have thwarted crimes in just the last 60 days
Fox News
There have been at least a dozen times between August and September of armed individuals thwarting an attack or crime by firing their gun or simply displaying it.
The liquor store owner was one of at least 12 people across the country between August and September who stopped a crime by turning the tables on a suspect and opening fire or displaying their firearm. In Cope's case, he stopped a would-be robber by firing his shotgun.
That same month, a gas station clerk in Washington state shot and killed a would-be robber. At the end of September, another gas station clerk shot dead an armed robber in San Antonio. Additionally, a convenience store clerk in Florida stopped an attempted armed robbery last month just by displaying his own weapon.
