What would you do if someone broke into your home while you and your children were sleeping? Yell? Call 911? Hide in the closet and hope for the best? Good luck with that.

NRA member Geoffrey Tilga purchased items from a convenience store and began walking home. Unbeknownst to Tilga, two men – one of them wielding a knife – quietly trailed him. Police say one of the suspects approached Tilga and grabbed cash out of his back pocket. Tilga spun around and the suspects threatened him with a knife. Tilga, however, is one of the fortunate few New York state residents licensed to carry a handgun. He drew his Colt Detective Special .38-cal. revolver and fired a shot. The robbers fled the scene.
