NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A man turned the tables on three men trying to rob him at gunpoint Monday night in Madison when he pulled out his own handgun and began shooting.

One of the suspects was hit when the victim shot at the would-be robbers and is recovering in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Another defensive gun use. One robber wounded.

... 3 pairs of pants messed ...

I thought the would-be victim’s injury would be a chafed trigger finger from firing so many shots into the criminals.

God bless him.

We can be thankful that one of the rules is that we have to wait for our attacker to fire his weapon first. Three guns against one, and it turned out to be a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

should read: “is that we DON’T have to wait . . .”

I just thought you were being sarcastic...lol

[eartick]

another winning shooting match.

Well for the victim anyway. Maybe not so much for the robbers.

Rogue Amish youths running amok.

Welcome to the new west, same as the old west...

When I saw “Madison”, I thought they were talking about Wisconsin.

Was his name Paul Kersey ?

[jaydubya2]

I thought Wisconsin too. If it was Madison, WI, the gun laws prohibit concealed carry in a lot of places. So, the outcome would have likely been much different.

I live in Madison which was once a city of its own before Metro was created in the 60s. It’s Nashville, except that my mail has to be addressed to “Madison”. There are a number of areas like this and one, Berry Hill, which refused annexation and remains a “city withing a city” with its own city government, police, etc.

1-3 odds.....not good in any fight.

One of the suspects was hit when the victim shot at the would-be robbers and is recovering in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries...The victim shot at the men robbing him, and they fled the scene.

Who is in the hospital? The suspect or the man they tried to rob?

[NobleFree]

One of the suspects was hit [...] and is recovering in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Sounds like somebody needs more time on the firing range.

[Uncle Lonny]

Probably the “usual suspects” which is why no descriptions are given of the thugs despite them being armed and dangerous and at large,

Public Safety be damned! Full speed ahead with the Liberal Agenda.

1-3 odds.....not good in any fight.

3 bad guys with ONE GUN is not much more dangerous than only 1 bad guy with that one gun.

Guy need more range time and a couple SUS gun shoots.

Yep, it sad to see a target rich environment wasted.
