Self-defense
An armed robber realized he attempted to rob the wrong smoke shop last month when the clerk behind the counter pulled a pistol on him and began firing. Video surveillance of the incident captured the whole scene. A man with a gun enters a smoke shop and points it at the clerk who was standing behind the counter at the time of the incident. The clerk immediately reacts and draws a CZ-75 SP-01 9mm pistol and fires at the robber.

Surveillance footage shows three would-be burglars entering the couple's Atlanta home. The video shows the woman emerging with a handgun — she told police she'd grabbed it when she heard noises. An exchange of gunfire between the woman and an armed criminal soon ensues as the home invaders turn tail and flee. At least one man was shot. He did not survive.

It was a frightening night for a pastor and his family in Northeast Philadelphia when a robber tried to attack them. Police say the 48-year-old pastor, his 38-year-old wife and 12-year-old son were returning from a concert. They were approached by a 66-year-old man with a rifle near the parking lot of the Saint James Lutheran Church. They say the suspect demanded the pastor's wallet, and then a struggle began. The pastor was hit in the head with the rifle by the bandit. "This is the first time I actually thought I'd die," said Pastor Robert Cook. His wife then pulled out a gun, she was licensed to carry, and shot the suspect in the leg, police say.

Police say the three suspects broke into the home just before 9 p.m. Once inside, one of the suspects pointed a gun at the male homeowner’s head, forced him to the ground, then checked his wallet for cash. But unbeknownst to the intruders, the woman snuck off and ran into the bedroom where she retrieved her own firearm. The woman emerged from the bedroom to find all three suspects standing over her husband. She then pointed the gun at the suspects and yelled at them to “freeze.” All three immediately ran toward the front door in an attempt to escape. As the suspects made their way to the door, the woman again told them to freeze, but her request went ignored. Two of the suspects took off, but when the third suspect turned around once he reached the door and came at the woman in what she perceived as a threatening manner, she fired two shots, striking the suspect in the shoulder.
