Saving Lives: 4 Gun Owners Stop Life-Threatening Incidents in 5 Days Over Christmas Holiday

Once again, proving that being armed saves peoples lives, the Crime Prevention Research Center has compiled a list of four gun owners stopping crimes in separate life-threatening incidents over a five day period during the Christmas holiday. First up, on December 22nd, Brandon Johnson was shot and killed when he tried to rob two men in Indiana during a Craigslist scam. Johnson pulled a gun on his intended victim, who had a gun of his own and put Johnson down. On December 23rd, a man tried to hold up the Captain Max Seafood restaurant in Florida. An employee pulled out his gun and ended the man’s crime spree. Both of these were exactly the right thing to do at the right time.

The Christmas season was a bad time to be a criminal near a person with a weapon.

There were a total of four incidents involving a person using a gun to stop a crime or other life-threatening incident between December 22 and December 26, according to a list compiled by the Crime Prevention Research Center.
