$28 worth of gas.

Getting shot at over a quarter tank?

Cooper messed up big time. He should have NEVER left his own property for any armed apprehension attempt on the state's right-of-way.

Sounds like a fellow has had enough of the thieves and con artists ripping him and his store off. Don't know about chasing them, but I will wager a bet the sherffs' department had not done anything before to help him out, and he snapped. Even though it was only $28.00 worth of gas, I'll bet those guys now wish they had paid for it.

Thanks for posting. I'm sorry the station owner was arrested...if more station owners did this, people wouldn't try to steal so often. It's a very common crime.

The kids were fortunate they weren't hit by the .45 round. Probably would have died from loss of fluids before they reached the hospital.

Considering most people now have $60-$125 worth of fuel in the vehicles when unattended, I suspect there is going to be a increase in theft of fuel from parked cars/trucks in the next year.

IMHO, I wish the state would back up the shop owner. Had he not pursued them, there probably would have been no recourse for the owner. With increasing fuel prices, I suspect misdemeanor fuel thefts will skyrocket.

Anybody ever hear of PREPAY ONLY?!

That stops most drive-offs.

Simple.

Jury nullification?

Thankfully were not allowed to kill people for stealing. The man is a loose cannon and part of the reason they want to take away guns from the public. You can't just whip em out and shoot whenever you want.

[digitalbrownshirt]

The article says he fired "shots" at them, but only one bullet hole was found in the truck. I'm glad some innocent bystander wasn't hurt by his reckless shooting.

sounds like a scene out of a dirty harry movie. Guy's got the part cold right down to the slap up side of the head of one of the punks. Have to chuckle although he won't be chuckling after the police get done.

If you try to protect your property from thieves you will be thrown in jail by the STATE.
