Senior Citizen Shoots Robbers

Saw this on a FB post today. Good news reporting (at least from the perspective that they didn't decry legal gun ownership/concealment).

good man...

That's one way to catch bad guys -- at the emergency room with bullet wounds.

(On a more cynical note, I didn't see the media reporting how beneficial to society it was that this man was armed -- maybe it was obvious. But they sure do point out how dangerous guns are when something bad happens with them...)

That is freakin' awesome.

I think what I like best about this, is that it disproves the notion that citizens who carry simply aren't up to the task, and will do **** like 'spray and pray' and are more a danger than help... this guy proved all that to a load of crap. He chose his shots, aimed and hit his targets, not innocents.

I haven't heard what this guy's background is, maybe he's ex-LEO or military, but the facts still stand; at that time he was just an armed citizen, and he saved the day.

excellent.. man, good to see a real world example of citizens not becoming victims.

And it's not like he missed everything, either...
