A store owner and concealed-carry license holder in Chicago, Ill., arrived at her convenience-store business the morning of Jan. 4, only to discover several robbers inside. The intruders reportedly fired shots at her, so she fired back, causing them all to flee. The store’s security video shows the robbers breaking the glass front door and taking money from the registers, and the store owner said it was the second robbery in a week.
