List of Defensive Gun Uses This Month

[CTS]

Getting sick and tired of the "if it could save just one life" argument I compiled the May list of defensive firearm uses so far this month, and these are just the ones that made the news. How is it not obvious to so many that peaceful individuals having a firearm and knowing how to use it is a good thing?

This would be a great sticky...for each month/year. The NRA NEWS, Cam and Company show I watch every day closes with at least 2 "Armed Citizen" reports...EVERY DAY!!!

Should we have a resource like this via INGO, we could easily chuck it up on our social media pages and make the sheeple more aware.

Compiling a list like this is actually very easy to do, I would be happy to post one every month. Add to these the number of crimes guns prevent just because they exist and the times that don't make the news and it's pretty obvious that anyone arguing for anything but *more* responsible citizens being armed is a lunatic.

Great list. Thanks.

Nice list.

This is an excellent idea!!!

Thanks so much!

Fantastic list and I'd love to see a sub-forum here devoted to this topic or a sticky thread.

 

[bhowell34]

Thanks for posting this. It's good to see some actual good news instead of all the crap main stream media has been trying to force down our throats

 

[HARVEYtheDAMNED]

This is amazing, +1 for a sticky!

 

[hoosierdoc]

I vote for sticky, with a clean list of stories and minimal commentary. Problem is many stories will become inactive. Perhaps a quick summary blurb for each story to preserve the content?

We post stories and then OP edits the sticky post to add it?

 

[SmokinSigs357]

Man, it would be great for us to be able to, at the first of every month, post a link to the previous month's statistics on Facebook. INGO puts it up on the INGO FB page and we share it.

Then, at the end of the year, have a year-end compiliation..."INGO; ARMED CITIZEN FILES" or something like that.

I created a blog awhile back that showcases stories of defensive gun use. I used a blog as I figured it would be the most efficient means to get the info out there.

armedvigilance.wordpress.com

I just got it off the ground, but I have new content coming in daily.

Rep inbound for this thread! We need to get this information out there as much as we can.

Excellent list. Thanks for compiling it. I'd also like to see this become a sticky.
