Every year, mass shootings are prevented by armed citizens, and these stories go with very little reporting, or completely un-reported altogether.

| 1997 | Joel Myrick, Luke Woodham | A student came on campus armed with a gun. Assistant principal Joel Myrick, also with a gun, prevented the student from going on a Columbine-style rampage.[1] |
| 2015 | Not released | A man opened fire in a barber shop. Another person, who was a legal gun permit carrier,[2] shot and killed the shooter saving a lot of people's lives, according to the Police Captain. |
