We’re starting today with a defensive shooting out of Chicago where a concealed carrier stopped a suspect who tried to run him down using his own stolen vehicle.

In Phoenix, a woman fatally shot her ex-boyfriend after he allegedly broke into her apartment, and in another incident, an armed boyfriend shot a road rage aggressor who followed his girlfriend home.

Also — a quick shoutout to FN America for sponsoring today’s newsletter. The FN Reflex® Series offers concealment with shootability: a best-in-class trigger, easy-to-rack slide, enhanced grip texture, and max capacity in a sleek 9mm package.
