"I refuse to be a victim of violent crime!"

Those are the words of Lance Thomas, a watchmaker who took his personal protection and the protection of his watch repair store seriously, being involved in 4 shootouts with 11 robbers and various gang members over several years...all good shoots in the second most liberal and gun-unfriendly city in the US.

There are several TV shows and documentary film footage on him that can be googled up.

Here is one from the Justice Files.
