And then there's this:

Criminal's second encounter with armed citizen proves fatal, WISTV, Columbia, S.C.)

Posted on June 3, 2013

A homeowner in Orangeburg, S.C. shot and killed a home invader after the criminal used a shovel to
break a back window to gain entry to the house. Neighbors expressed support for the armed citizen
and were grateful for the fact that his daughter was not at home at the time of the incident.

One neighbor in particular could empathize with the homeowner’s situation. Marion Ammonds had an
encounter with the deceased criminal in 2010. At the time, Ammonds was helping to build a nearby
house for his daughter when the criminal attempted to burglarize the home. Ammonds discovered the
burglar, retrieved a firearm and held the criminal at gunpoint until police could arrive. (WISTV,
Columbia, S.C.)

Thank goodness for guns!
