I did assume Amish. I stand corrected. Though I’m correct 95 out of 100 times...

Both assailants walked away. Needs a larger caliber.

Like I said, bad all over. But not unlike most big cities anymore I guess One of many reasons for moving out to the country.

Someone needs to remove the Liberty Bell before they deem it racist and needs to be smelted down.

Agree 100%. Try to get away. Try to avoid. Do NOT tell them you have a firearm. That only comes out when all else fails, and you never telegraph the fact you have it.

He waited too long to shoot and needs more range time, but all in all a happy ending! I just wish he and his wife weren’t injured so badly before he took action.

I think he had a lot of control over his responses and really didn’t want to go through the shock of seeing two young men die.

I read something written by Jeff Cooper to the effect of, "if you're involved in a gunfight, the results will be shocking, and the experience will be highly stimulating."

These two might see the Light and mend their ways, they might not.

Not, would be my guess. We are talking about people who consider 'prison' as their 'college education' and tattoos as a 'diploma'.

Never explain to some attacker that you’re armed.

Good advice the first indication they should have that you are armed is BANG. Speed and violence of action is what saves you.

Pennsylvania is a SHALL ISSUE state. $45, a background check and the CCW is all yours...

LTCF since 1983. Know the area well. So much for the knockdown power of the .45.

In the early 90s, I had a guy who looked like an NBA power forward tell me to give him my money at 2:30 in the morning at 2nd and Spruce. That's 4 blocks from this location and a block away from an ATM where a Camden County prosecutor took a bullet in the back of the head. I had barely got my shirt up and hand on the butt of my .38 revolver before this guy made a spin move and vaporized.

Dude was blazing fast. If he'd a kept at me, I think I would have been screwed. After that, It was always hands on in a pocket in that area.

After he’s been knocked to the ground, and his wife is being assaulted, the time for retreat has passed, IMO.
Draw, aim, and fire would be the correct response.

Vanity;

I used to live about a mile from there in South Philly....3rd and Mifflin. Then, Washington Ave and the railroad tracks were the dividing line. Although that area was largely black, then, there didn't seem to be much to fear. I walked there frequently; played ball on empty lots.

It’s plenty deadly,wounds are big enough that they won’t self-clot.The plus P round will pass through the sternum,go through the heart and still have enough energy to break the spine on the way out.

But think of all the toll fees in Cowed-derado you could have paid with that cash/s
Seriously though, someone has to support the pot heads in your state.

With a .45 that's a pretty thin margin...

Even being wounded by a .45, your going wish you were dead. One victim who took a hit and survived, said it was like getting hit by a speeding Cadillac.

More like 99 out of 100, that is why this one is so BRUTAL, EVIL, HORRIBLE, NASTY...

It's really a shock when the young perps attacking an old couple turn out to be white, I'm surprised the 'blackliesmatter' crowd don't have a franchise fee on mugging old white couples.
