THE ARMED CITIZEN (from the NRA Magazine, "AMERICAN RIFLEMAN")

Mere presence of a firearm, without a shot being fered, prevents crime in
many instances, as shown by news reports sent to The Armed citizen. Shooting
usually can be justified only where crime constitutes an immediate, imminent
threat to life or limb or in some circumstances, property. The accounts
below are from clippings sent in by NRA Members. Anyone is free to quote
or reproduce them.

   Bill Hazen was in his cabin near Bakersfield, Calif., shortly
after mid- night when an intruder forced a slid- ing glass door. The
Los Angeles minister was armed and ordered the man outside. During
an ensuing scuf- fle the attacker ran, but an ac- complice appeared
in a pickup truck and tried to run down Hazen. The minister fired at
the advancing truck and when the vehicle stopped, its oc- cupant got
out and said, "I counted six shots; you're out and now I'm going to
get you." Hazen fired his large-capacity semi-automatic once more,
dropping his adversary. Both men were taken into custody by
sheriff's deputies. (The Californian, Bakersfield, Calif. 10/25/89)
