Frequently Asked Questions

What happened in the self-defense incident in Brazil?

In Curitiba, Brazil, a father and son successfully defended their shop against two armed robbers. They drew their firearms, and one suspect fled while the other was apprehended. Police later recovered a .38 revolver.
