Read the Armed Citizen in American Rifleman.
Armed citizens defeating criminals is so commonplace that it isn't even considered "news".

It will somehow be spun by the anti-gunners because that is an NRA magazine

For the record, the NRA magazine only cut and pastes the articles from local news sources in that section. So its news, but usually only news where you live.
If you live in a place that restricts firearms ownership, it stands to reason that you won't get any news of that sort.
Which means the only news you are getting is when someone breaks into a home and rapes and murders someone.
A woman killed a man in her home in Oregon a few days ago (it was on the news here).

And, police reports usually aren't even filed regarding the many incidents where just the sight of a gun deescalated an about-to-be crime. So, those "incidents" are typically known to very few, as the gun-owners aren't bragging about them.
Over the years, I've heard of dozens from people I am close to, so I know that these incidents occur and don't make it into the statistics.

Then they don't count. By definition.
That's not news to anybody. By definition.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it does it make a sound?

If a tree falls in the forest and kills a mime, does anyone care?

When you shoot a mime is it the local ethic to use a silencer

If you shoot a tree in the forest, do you arbor ill will towards it ?
Okay, that went far too far.
That was a violation of everything good and decent in the universe.
Take it bark, right now.

Its funny that you would act as though there is an abundance of pro gun people here. As if to imply that its an anomaly.
