I am praying that the next time he has to shoot a robber, that he aims for the head. Get well soon Craig!

But I thought just pointing an AR-15 at someone vaporized them

[[A man armed with an AR-15 fled from a California liquor store screaming ‘He shot my arm off!’]]

What was his first clue? The fact that he couldn’t count to 10 anymore?

Oh and PS since this story was posted yesterday? They caught the guys.

“Deputies identified the suspects as 22-year-old Inglewood resident Justin Johnson, 27-year-old Los Angeles resident Jamar Williams and 24-year-old Las Vegas resident Davon Broadus.

The 23-year-old man who was shot is in critical but stable condition. He remains unnamed.”

Did the store owner get arrested and charged for attempted murder?

The elderly innocent man had the right to defend himself. The robber lost his right to his arm and his life the moment he attacked the man.

'He shot my arm off!' after the 80-year-old owner blasted him with his shotgun.

If they can manage to release a video of this, I hope they add a laugh track.

Prayers for the shopkeeper.

A man armed with an AR-15 fled from a California liquor store screaming 'He shot my arm off!'

So he is now a one armed man?

Good shoot. Hope I can do as well when I’m 80.

He was armed going in. May have been unarmed or one armed leaving.

I hope he’s alright. Before I left California, I lived about a mile from there. I used to shop in there fairly often.

“Robber armed with AR-15...”

Hence the need for law-abiding citizens to keep and bear A15s, along with standard (30-round) magazines. Or magazines of greater capacity.

QED

Pretty clearly birdshot. Double OO buck would have put the gunner down.
