Florida and particularly Miami, has gotten pretty bad. This is the reason I have aquired gotten my concealed weapon's license and started to carry. In some parts, crime and people have gotten really out of hand and one should be more careful and ready. Even my sister who was a long-time "I will never own a gun" advocate has changed here mind recently and even went with me to the range last week to try it out and will probably be carrying soon.

That’s one IGA that may not have to worry about any armed robbery attempts in the near future.

This is the perfect example of where the gun grabbers think that a full scale shootout is inevitable. Guess what... it didn’t happen. The good citizens protected themselves and their business and showed perfect restraint in not firing a shot. Guns in the hands of good people is not a problem, we’re not all gang bangers and drug addicts.

Was that guy a criminal before he drew his weapon?

And in the end, West Palm Beach police arrested customer Marshall Hugo Grant for ... carrying a concealed firearm.

From this, I would infer that Mr. Grant did not have a concealed-carry permit, and that his acts should not be associated with those who carry concealed lawfully.

It’s nothing like that in the Keys. I don’t even lock our doors in the daytime. I have about as much use for a gun as a humidifier here.

We live in Delray, but there are a lot of places here in S. FL that I just don’t go by myself. Of course, the fact that even in the better areas the drivers are clueless doesn’t help....

The managers, who witnesses said never returned fire, ended up surrounding Grant, who hid behind a vehicle

Must be some pretty big boys...

Strange definition of “customer”. What indication is there that Mr. Grant’s purpose for entering was, in fact, to make purchases? Smells to me more like he was planning a robbery.

Given that the customer was charged with "carrying a concealed weapon," and FL has fairly liberal CCW laws (compared to some other states) it seems to me that he was probably NOT a legal CCW holder. Something left out of the article. I wonder why...
