Actor Michael Douglas pushes for tighter gun control
And only some Hollywood leftist would want to take firearms away from law-abiding citizens after someting like this.
Great story that happens hundreds of thousands more times than the left would admit.
Chalk one up for the good guys. I'm sure this will be picked up and reported far and wide in the MSM.
Seems like if the father was going to shoot, he should have hit the guy with the gun.
A great story would have been three dead robbers.
All three wore masks. Two were black. The race of the third wasn't known.
Color me shocked beyond belief that they released this info!

the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being"
I give Mr. Nick Buell a B+/A-:
-crime foiled
-no good guys injured
-perp hit
-no wild fire
If the perp dies, I'll regrade Mr. Buell's work: A+
Dead Perp and no injured good guys always gets the A+
A Glock has how many in the clip? Why fire only one round?
Anyway, good story with a happy enough ending.
he did.
Nick Buell shot at (and seems to have hit) ArmedPerpAlpha; His son, Frank Buell, was under the gun of ArmedPerpBeta.
The elder Buell could not see what was going on with his son.
we do not know from this report whether PerpGamma was Armed or not.
Just another example of out of wedlock births coming home to roost. Guns aren't the problem, bastards are!
The two guys who were not shot, better hope their buddy lives, or they will both be charged with felony murder and go away for a VERY long time. Life is hard.
Why is that?
Didn't see a sarcasm not so wasn't sure if you were serious.
There are two schools of thought. One is based on what may happen in the courts and is geared toward applying the least amount of deadly force that will resolve a "situation."
The other school of thought is based on combat and sometimes the courts and that is to keep firing until there is no more ammo and the treat is totally destroyed or gone. Sometimes the "I was so scared for my life I just pulled the trigger and didn't realize that I kept pulling the trigger until the firearm was empty" is both a classic sign of stress and a great argument in litigation.
Considering that the man's son may have been in the general direction of the firing, the store owner may have opted for the approach that minimized the potential harm to his son for a slightly off-target shot.
If dead, they will use the SSS method of disposal.
Another example of why you should use a .45. If elder Buell was shooting a .45 the perp would have been on the ground and only two would have run out the door.
Thanks. Yes I was serious. It would have been nice if he got a bullet in all 3.
Youre right..being as he didnt know his sons location and didnt want to accidentily shoot him, he fired once and they fled.
(had they not more rounds would have followed)
Hopefully the thug he shot will be forced to show up at a hospital or morgue. the fact that he hasnt yet suggests to me that his buddies are trying to patch him up knowing the PD will be looking for a wounded punk at the hospital.
Accuracy is more important than the caliber.
