that's great, send him a box of bullets for me.
a FEMALE video game store owner shot & killed a robber here earlier this week. They found him (the robber) dumped on the side of the road a block away, presumably left there by his accomplice.

In Eugene, Oregon, he'd have been arrested for violating the "rights" of the criminals...

We had a similar story on the east side of Charlotte in Oct. 3 armed thugs took over a pizza shop and beat the driver for the safe combo. The retired deputy sheriff didn't have the combo. He did have a 9mm under his shirt. Shot 2 dead in the store and winged one trying to escape.

A few more details

The owner was "handcuffed" with tiewraps. He freed his hands and then pulled out a pistol from his waistband. Once the gun battle started, he pulled out a hidden shotgun.

The store was setup where you have to be buzzed in and out. The robbers could not escape.

The owner was protecting his wife. He was shot 4 times and survived.

I'm shocked this story made it into the news media at all.

Bravo to this guy! Anyone have a PayPal address for him to help pay his medical bills - or even just to help clean up his shop or whatever? I'm in for 50 bucks. He deserves it.

Let's hope there's not a civil suit coming his way.

Even in AZ, where you're legally immune from a civil suit arising from a justifiable shoot, they still happen. TX is probably better in that area though.

Nice story! It's rare that they put good news in the paper.

Has Berkeley considered a resolution to honor the suspected thugs as Hero's yet?

It's starting to sound like the wild west in Houston, but here's another story for the good guys from yesterday:
