This is a video I saw today and thought I would write about. It occurred in July, but it is relevant today. The story is written by Austin L. Miller and is about two robbers, one armed with a baseball bat and the other with a handgun robbing an Internet cafe. As the robbers told the patrons to get on the ground, an older gentleman with a concealed handgun started shooting at the robbers who ran out the door rather quickly. The police were called out to the cafe where witnesses identified the robbers when another call came in about a shooting at a local ballpark, but no evidence was found of such a shooting. And so the robbers were later transported to a hospital and identified as the Internet cafe robbers. One suffered a wound in his arm and the other was shot in his hip and buttock.
Go Grandpa. We should have more citizens with legal handguns to counteract those who have illegal arms. The second amendment is something many people take for granted, and taking away the right to have one isn't going to stop people from getting one.

Couldn't agree with you more!
ReplyDeleteThat's very interesting! This is a major controversial issue that we have all heard about. But I have never thought of it that way. People complain about the Second Amendment, saying that it is the cause for many shootings, but the weapons used may not even be legal! So changing the right to bear arms wouldn't really do much because I'm sure most of these attackers illegally carry guns! I think it's good to see a story for once on this side of the issue. It's good to see things from both sides of the spectrum.
