Man with concealed-carry permit shoots gunman

Dayton Daily News
DAYTON | Two men carrying guns approached a 40-year-old man at Riverview Avenue and Catalpa Drive early Friday. Their victim bent over with outstretched hands.
Then things changed swiftly.
The targeted man pulled out a Glock 23 handgun — he has a concealed-carry permit — and fired several shots, hitting one of the gunmen, police said.
Police were dispatched to the 2000 block of West Riverview at about 12:45 a.m. on numerous calls about a shooting.
Police found the 40-year-old male victim at his Dayton residence. He told them that he was walking west on Riverview when he was approached by two males in dark clothing coming from Catalpa. One shoved the victim, the victim turned around and both men in dark clothes flashed handguns, police said.
The victim then "began to back away in a bent-over position with his hands outstretched," according to a police report. Then he pulled out a Glock 23, a .40-caliber handgun, striking one gunman several times, police said.
The two ran off, but police said they caught up with possible suspects at Good Samaritan Hospital.
The victim has both a Dayton Firearms Owner's Identification Card and Montgomery County Concealed Carry Card, police said.
Glock 23, nice carry piece. I have a Glock 32. Sounds like it did an ok job.
ping!
1) Vilified by the local press for defending himself
2) Criticized by the cops for not waiting for them to arrive and handle the situation
3) Thrown in jail for "excessive use of force"
4) Successfully sued by the criminals for causing them "pain & suffering."
Good job! A win for CCW!
Not really, they are still breathing.
Don't forget the interviews with the perps, who are the "real victims" of this heinous event.
It did the most important job -- the innocent man is still breathing.
Wait for the race of the perps to be disclosed...
This could get ugly.
Why couldn't there be a happy ending where one robber is dead, and the other is expected to make a tortuous recovery.
Don't be so pessimistic, Kelli properly identified who was the victim and who was the perp. I'm impressed with the writer and the editor. I know, it's a low standard, but considering how poorly they usually do...
If he thinks that there are two armed felons running around the streets, he has a moral responsibility to call it in.
True, and no doubt he will face a law suit from those still breathing.
4) Successfully sued by the criminals for causing them "pain & suffering."
When they show up in court, they'll have Hearts and Flowers playing in the background and a cheering section of their maggot friends in the peanut gallery.
Dead men tell no tales.
good-guy wins ping
The perp made it to the hospitol? Ditch the .40 Short and Weak and up it to a 10mm with full house hollow points.
Not in Ohio. Or at least not in all parts of Ohio. Now, if he were in Great Britain or NY or the People's Republik of Massachusetts......
If I had his address I would send him money to pay for his expended bullets
Funny thing is, I am so used to the left wing spin on these stories that I naturally assumed that the "victim" was the perp who was shot. The MSM rarely seems to refer to the person defending themselves as a victim.
