Whats a good way to find self defense stories?
The best way is to read all the headlines in the paper’s main news sections on the news websites. Self defense stories usually appear in the national, local or metro sections of the paper. Some sites have a special “Crime & Courts” section. These are your best bets for finding stories for OpSD. You can also do a search of your news websites for a few “keywords” like: gun, handgun, defense, attack, self-defense, shooting, rifle, pistol, shotgun, home invasion, thwart, etc. This method is not foolproof though, so use it carefully. It is always best to make a quick run-through of the headlines to be sure nothing is missed. Important Note: You must be careful to not be misled by anti-gun editors who like to play down the fact that a citizen used a firearm for self defense. A headline reading “Shooting Victim Found in Hallway” might sound like a story about a tragic murder; but it is worthwhile to read a story with such a headline because you may find out that the “victim” had just invaded
