I think about the 22.7 million veterans, about the 5 million CCW holders, and the 1 million police and former police in this country. Even with the considerable overlap in these numbers, we approach 10 percent of the population that is armed and has some training with how to deal with violent criminals. I have not even mentioned the 40+ million hunters in the United States.

Ol’ Deadeye strikes again! You gotta watch those superannuated veterans, like shells unearthed at an old arsenal site, they’re still dangerous.

Even though police say it appears the shooting was justified, they will still send the case to the prosecutor. That is standard procedure in cases like this

Do the police sent the case to the prosecutor as "standard procedure" when the cops kill someone I wonder.

[Hodar]

However, police say the victim grabbed his own gun and fired two shots, killing the suspect. The man does have a permit to carry the gun.

Hmmm, I don't have a permit to talk, pray, post comments online, peacefully assemble with like-minded individuals, write my thoughts,or my permit for a speedy trial by my peers. Do I need to take special classes and pay a registration 'fee' to have thise rights?

[roxtar221]

The very term “gun permit” is offensive to a free man.

[ASA Vet]

The man does have a permit to carry the gun.

Holding a permit is irrelevant in this case.

Bringing that up is just the liberals pushing of the concept that a government issued "permit" (privilege allowed to the peasants) is the norm, rather than the 2nd Amendment RIGHT of the people.

Police say a thief who tried to rob the Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society on Detroit’s east side was shot and killed by an 88-year-old employee who had his own gun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society should have a Mission Statement: Robbery is Cruel. Try it, and we’ll kill you dead.

No doubt the perp was one of those Obamamites that infest inner-cities, naitonwide.

If Deetroit wasn't already a carbon-copy of Beirut, they'd probably burn it to the ground.....but they've already pretty much done that.

[smokingfrog]

pow!

[Mobties]

“...fired two shots, killing the suspect.”

Outstanding! I especially liked the part of all this occurring at the “Michigan Anti Cruelty Society”.

I’m not so happy about the use of the word “suspect”.

“Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you”

[Vigilanteman]

My Daddy was a double vet as well: World War II and veterinarian. God rest his soul.

I know exactly what he would say about this 88 year old man:

• Pay him bounty.
  
• Give him a medal for good shooting.
  
• Buy him more bullets.

I have not even mentioned the 40+ million hunters in the United States.

Many are Wotten Wabbit types.

Poor guy’s EBT must have been maxed out..

[Windflier]

"...police say the victim grabbed his own gun and fired two shots, killing the suspect. The man does have a permit to carry the gun."

Obviously, this WWII vet understands that he's got a God-given right to keep and bear arms.

Permit? The 2nd Amendment is my gun permit.

[Titan Magroyne]

FRiend, you post &the best* threads.

That said, how horrible for the old gent that he has to worry about prosecution after being forced to take a life in self defense. Doesn’t matter if the cops pooh-pooh his worries, all it takes is a political anima—er, an overzealous prosecutor with an agenda.

The culling of the perp herd continues and CCW holders will add to those numbers if required to do so.

[Pollster1]

The thug saw an old man and thought “easy victim”. A productive person would look at a man that age and think, “the guy survived WWII and seven more decades, he must be tough”.

[Mich Patriot]

Bang! Bang!

Another dead scumbag...nice shooting Doc, and thank you.

[RichInOC]

When you’re a robber and your 88-year-old mark gets the drop on you and kills you, it’s God’s way of telling you you’re in the wrong line of work.
