A “That’s UNPOSSIBLE” Defensive Gun Use
Today’s defensive gun use is one that the Anti-Rights Advocates tell us doesn’t happen.
See they ‘believe’ (as in offering no evidence in support) that carrying a firearm is not an effective means of self defense.
So, from the great site CCW Saves Lives, here is a Defensive Gun Use that is “Unpossible” –
Convience store clerk shoots, kills suspected robber
A would-be robber who walked into Bengal’s Food Mart in South Toledo. wearing a wig was shot and killed by a store clerk on Sunday morning
Toledo police Sgt. Tim Noble said the man walked into the store, announced the robbery, and displayed a handgun. He then was shot by the clerk at the store at 2625 Airport Highway near Westwood Avenue.
Did I read that right? Did the robber who had a drawn gun get shot and killed by the clerk?
It appears that he did.
And to make the store even more unbelievable — the clerk didn’t wildly shoot up the place or the customers.
Sergeant Noble said there were three people inside the store at the time of the shooting. None was injured and all are being interviewed by police.
Wow, so much unpossibility in one story.
And it appears that we have definitive proof that Concealed Carry can stop at least one crime — from the same UNPOSSIBLE STORY
The shooting at about 10:15 a.m. was the second time in two days a Toledo-area shop owner has shot an suspected robber.
On Friday, a South Toledo music store owner shot and seriously wounded a man who police say was trying to rob his store.
In that case, Eric Bilger, the co-owner of the Allied Music store who shot the suspect, had recently purchased a gun and acquired a concealed-carry permit.
The music store in South Toledo had been robbed three times since last summer, co-owner Mark Bilger said on Friday.
Compare and contrast these two incidents with the one friend Weer’d Beard posted where cooperation did not work out like the Anti-Rights Advocates say it will.
I’m sorry we live in a world of violence but since we do, I would rather it be the criminals who’s very actions precipitated the violence be the ones who are dying or injured.
Listen up Criminals (and you Anti Right Advocates) if you pull a firearm or walk in with a firearm — you are signaling clear intent that you are willing to use that firearm to injure or kill people — don’t be surprised when people believe you and respond appropriately.
Good work in defending yourselves Mr. Eric Bilger and Unnamed Store Clerk.

Thanks for the link. Bottom line is criminals have discovered that convenience stores are essentially ATMs that can be accessed with guns. The ONLY solution to this problem is for shop keepers to do what Mr. Bilger did, and defend himself against the violent assault that is armed robbery.
