Finally, store owners are fighting back and taking advantage of their 2nd amendment right. In the past 2 weeks we’ve seen 1 thug stabbed and killed while attacking a “ push over old man” . That thug is now a good thug, he’s dead!.. and now we have another example of self defense. 2 thugs went in a liquor store with illegal assault weapons, raised the gun at the 80 year old store owner, who shot first , with a legally bought gun, shooting the thugs arm off according to one of those thugs” while running out of the store screaming like a child and empty handed. These store owners should be givin a accommodation from the community. Hopefully these thugs will get the message before they are the next mornings news story. But if that’s what it takes than more power to the moms and pops running these stores.

I heard that 80 yr old store owner had a heart attack after this happened but thankfully he is on the mends. Kudos to him for taking a stand.

I read the same thing about the shop owner & hope he recovers quickly. It also seems the "shot his arm off" is an exaggeration. It's clear from the security video that the guy's arm was still attached and working, but he just caught some of the shot with it. Took the fight out of him.

Is it bad that I freaking LOVE videos like this when the victim fights back and wins? The youtube channel "Active Self Protection" has tons of these type videos. Highly recommended

I full on approve of self defense, to
whatever means deemed necessary by the defender.

When have thugs had a right to rob stores!

Seems owners always had a right to Protect their own store.

Not only their stores but we all have a right to protect our homes and our families. I have a Ruger hand gun loaded with hollow points within my reach... its them or me... and its going to be THEM that get shot. (if you have small children and/or dogs that can get to a gun, please be careful with where you keep the gun.)
