ABC’s "20/20" Seeking "Armed Citizen" Stories
Friday, April 06, 2007
Gun ban groups often claim that private citizens rarely, if ever, use guns in self-defense. ABC News’ "20/20" is now putting that claim to the test, asking viewers to submit their own real-life "Armed Citizen" stories. ABC’s website asks:
Have you ever defended yourself from a crime in your home, in your business, or in public by using a gun? Perhaps you warded off a potential attacker by simply showing a gun?
If you’ve personally used a gun in a legitimate act of self-protection against a criminal attacker, we encourage you to tell your story to ABC News. To tell your story, go to http://www.abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=3015150 and complete their web form.
And to ensure that we at NRA know how many responses ABC gets, please send us a copy of your story by e-mailing armedcitizen@nrahq.org. You can also call NRA Public Affairs at (703) 267-1193.Last edited by NineseveN; April 6th, 2007 at 11:15 PM.

Re: ABC’s "20/20" Seeking "Armed Citizen" Stories
I would be very leery about lending any personnel experiences with any of the main stream media. I have a hard time believing that 20/20 wants to legitimize ccw.
I know that the NRA is encouraging people to participate, but I would read the contract carefully. You may end up telling your harrowing experience and then end up getting edited to look like a crazed lunatic. Michael Moore did a good job of finding people to make gun owners seem crazed in Bowling for Columbine. It’s all about ratings. I hope I am wrong.

IIRC, one of the 20/20 reporters (John Stossell?) has in the past done some very honest gun related segments for that show. If he is in fact the reporter doing the story, it may well be "fair and balanced".

Stossel is a Libertarian at his core, and he's is VERY pro-gun. 20/20 isn't notably anti-gun, and I seriously think Stossel would be the one on this project, ensuring that it is not a hit job on gun owners.

Wonder why they just don't contact the NRA and get the info off of their ARMED CITIZEN section.
The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control....
