ID: Law would encourage gun ownership: "Violent crime is virtually unknown on the quiet streets of Greenleaf -- there hasn't been anything more serious than a fistfight reported for two years. But in this Canyon County town founded by pacifist Quakers, city leaders are asking citizens to take up arms to defend their property. ... [T]his town near the Oregon border seems an unlikely place for violent conflict. But with rapid growth in the Treasure Valley sprinting west and a new subdivision planned for Greenleaf, City Councilman Steven Jett thinks a draft ordinance recommending that every head of household maintain a firearm will keep Greenleaf safe as the community grows."


FL: Woman fires at would-be robber: "Vivian Deen had never fired a gun. But Friday morning she didn't hesitate to shoot at an armed robber threatening her husband, William. The Deens own Magee Field Grocery, a neighborhood grocery store, at North Davis Highway and East Yonge Street and were confronted by a man who wanted their money. William Deen, 60, was on the telephone about 10 a.m. when he said the man came in with a stocking over his face. 'He kind of eased in, and when I looked up, he said, 'This is a stickup,'' Deen said. 'I thought it was some kind of joke, but then he put a gun in my face.' Deen said the man again demanded money and tried to crawl behind the counter. The two then struggled for the gun. ... Deen said he didn't want his wife to get involved. However, Vivian Deen, 45, grabbed a handgun kept behind the counter and fired at the robber's shoulder. 'I've never even fired a gun before. But when I saw the gun pointing at my husband, I didn't waste any time,' she said." ... City police said the Deens will not be charged."
