ANOTHER ARMED CITIZEN THWARTS CRIME — though I guess the NRA won’t be touting this case too strongly:

A would-be car thief died Friday after he was shot by the car’s owner, a camouflage-clad hunter toting a bow and arrow, police said.

The thief was moments from a clean getaway when the hunter happened upon his car, police said. The man told the hunter he had a gun and threatened to kill him, said Sgt. T.E. Kiser of the Harris County Sheriff’s Department homicide division.

The hunter drew his bow and shot at the man, hitting him in the hip and buttocks area.

Is there a National Bowmen’s Association? (Via Rachel Lucas).

UPDATE: In a different vein of nontraditional armed citizenry, here’s a BBC story on the Mount Holyoke Chapter of the Second Amendment Sisters.
