Armed citizen stories happen every day across the United States, but rarely do they make national news. Here are three cases of armed self-defense that have happened in just the past few days that you’ll never read about in the New York Times or see on CNN.

In Cocoa, Florida, a woman was forced to defend herself after she was shot at outside a convenience store late Sunday evening.

Witnesses told authorities that a mother and daughter were outside the store when two men in a vehicle approached them.

According to authorities, Latray Bell, the man who was with the person who got shot, held a gun and pointed it at one of the women and said she owed him money.

The woman refused to give Bell the money, so the pair got back into their vehicle and drove away, but fired shots as they left.

Officials said the man Bell was with was the only person that was hit. Authorities said the woman, who has a concealed weapons permit, defended herself by firing back.
