News stories of civilian self-defense seldom receive adequate media coverage. After all, armed good guys stopping violent felons does not make headlines like the lives of innocents being taken. Bias and agendas play their part, but the media does not cover an event that did not happen, such as a case where a good guy stopped a violent event before it resulted in the loss of innocent life. However, these are exactly the type of stories we need to highlight to educate non gun owners before they head to the voting booth.
Don’t Rob Houses With Armed Good Guys
Yuma Arizona – One person is dead and three others are injured after they were shot by a resident of an Arizona home they were trying to burglarize, police said. The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call at approximately 1:38 a.m. Thursday and discovered that four individuals were shot after breaking into a home.
According to a news release, Edith Guerrero, 36, Jaden James, 18, Leonardo Gonzalez, 27, and Jessica Aynes, 28, woke the sleeping occupants as they entered.
The unidentified occupant with the gun fired several rounds, hitting all four suspects and ultimately killing one. Aynes was taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead. Guerrero and James also were rushed to the hospital with gunshot wounds.
The extent of Gonzalez’s injuries was unclear, although police did confirm he was struck. The case is being investigated by the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office.
Targeted by Juggers
Katy, Texas – An attempted robbery turned into a shootout between a pair of suspects and a husband protecting his wife, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
The attempted armed robbery happened around 2:30 p.m in a busy parking lot of a Randall’s store on Fry Road. Detectives believe the suspects were “juggers,” who followed the couple from a bank across the street. The couple went grocery shopping and were about to load the groceries in their SUV when a black Cadillac SUV pulled into a parking space in front of them.
An investigator said one man pulled out a gun and demanded the woman’s purse. Her husband was on the other side of the car, and pulled out his weapon. Moments later, shots were exchanged. The husband fired four rounds, hitting both men, according to deputies.
The suspects got into the getaway car and pulled onto Fry Road, where the vehicle crashed out, leaving two men to run off on foot. The driver, who was hit in the shoulder ran to a nearby fire station for help, and collapsed.
He was transported to the hospital and treated. His partner remains at large.

In NYState,its highly likely that the law abiding civilian would be incarcerated- not the criminals.
Any guess why I want to permanently exit NY SOON-ER??
Years ago my brother gave in to his wife who was from the Utica area and found a job at GE. He couldn’t wait to get the hell out (we were born/raised in Alabama). He lucked out big time. The business unit of GE he worked for was sold to Lockheed and saved him from a RIF. Then Lockheed merged with Martin Marietta and the whole operation was moved to Ocala, FL. Their kids were ecstatic because they were moving in “next door” to Disney World! Rick was ecstatic because NY was now in his rear view mirror! Good luck, Karl.
Phil in TX
I feel your pain Karl I was born and raised in NY! I moved to PA 3 years ago the gun laws here make me feel like I left prison or something! Anyway sadly it wasn’t far enough away!! I can see the cheating demoncraps are aiming at our rights as we type!! I am finishing my house and getting the uck outta here, coincidentally I was actually looking in the south Alabama Mississippi area! So Phil is there any really good areas to buy? I was looking at a horse ranch about 25 miles west of mobile is that area any good?
Duuuude! Come to North Carolina! From Philadelphia and now in NC, an hour west of Charlotte. Effing Beautiful! Country setting where random people wave hi as you drive down the road! Creeped me out at first! LOL And NC gun laws are awesome! Once you’re Conceal carry licensed, you can buy anything anywhere anytime. I do love it here. Weekends, you hear your fellow neighbors blasting off in the distance. If you hear gunshots up north you better find cover!!!
Karl and Phil, NY is a cesspool of perversion and crime. My family and I chose to move to the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. It’s still sane here, there are still good and decent people as neighbors, and Missouri is a Constitutional carry state, we can open carry. Our armed society here is a respectful society.
Good for them moving away from the problem of Demonrats running (dare I say ruining) everything! It is bad enough that they tax working families to death to support their voting base, but they have a not so hidden agenda of disarming citizens so when their Marxist bosses “take over” citizens won’t have the means to resist (as was the founding father’s intent in framing the Second Amendment). Now, as much as I applaud this families escape from NY, the wholesale flight of others from Marxist owned states is frightening as many carry with them the disease of voting for Socialists only too happy to promise nirvana but delivery HELL!
I made a vow to never be unarmed again , when three family members were shot by thugs including myself. My daughter in law to be lost her life that night when two gang members decided to open fire on us. A police officer told me days later had you been armed they never would have assaulted you. These criminals look for soft targets, never again will I be vulnerable to a deadly assault. If I can help an innocent person , we as Americans must stand together.
Born in Buffalo, live in Texas. Second Amendment and sunshine! Unfortunately a lot of Kalifornians are fleeing their state due to high taxes but still clinging to their liberal policies. The urban centers are no longer a bastion of conservatism but suburbia and rural areas remain free. If you’re conservative, come on down. Build the wall!
What the heck is a “jugger?”
It’s when a hot woman asks a question and everyone in the room forgets to answer but gets a huge boner instead! ?
But for the article it means a criminal that waits at a bank and waits for someone to come out with a bag or briefcase that could possibly be full of cash. That is why when I take out $100,000 out I duck tape it to my body plus the cops won’t steal it with their new “asset forfeiture” bullshit! But since you’re a nudist that wouldn’t be a good idea ? have a great day
A huge boner huh? I like those kinds of compliments. Lol
I thought jugger was some new kind of juggalo. ? Thanks for answering. ?
