OH: Store Owner uses AK47 for Self Defense
Ammoland ^ | 28 November, 2017 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 11/30/2017 6:34:16 AM PST by marktwain

Dayton Ohio cell phone store owner Adam Seaton used an AK-47 clone to defend himself and his store. It happened about five a.m. on Sunday, 19 November, 2017.

Store video shows the thieves breaking the window at the front of the store, then trying various strategies to get through the security gate. Seaton was alerted on his cell phone by the security system. He was only a block and a half away.

The store has been open since December last year. This was the fourth robbery attempt, the first that has been stopped.

From wdtn.com:

DAYTON — A 22-year-old Dayton business owner fired an AK-47 at burglars breaking into his cell phone store early Sunday morning.

Dayton police were dispatched to Fix or Cell Now at 619 Watervliet Street around 5:09 a.m. after the business owner called to report the attempted robbery.

According to a police report, owner Adam Seaton was blocks away when he received a notification on his phone from the store's security system.

As he arrived to the store, Seaton told Dayton police he saw two men running from the store. Seaton said one of the men then stopped, pulled out a gun, and pointed it in his direction.

According to police, Seaton then grabbed an AK-47 from his passenger seat and fired at the men. Seaton told our breaking news team he believes one of his bullets hit a suspect, but he cannot be sure.

The thieves fled in a silver truck.  Seaton pursued them. He was on the phone to the dispatcher, who urged him, repeatedly, to pull back and let them go.

It is discouraging to listen to the 911 call. Seaton is hyped up about the potential to catch the suspects. He expects immediate reinforcements

Kinda comical to listen to the 911 call. The store owner expects immediate, sophisticated help. He gets discouragement and disillusionment.

Say what you will about the down field accuracy of the Kalashnikov, but you will seldom be outgunned in a gunfight firing 7.62.

boy needs to practice with his AK. Sounds like he didn’t hit anything; bad guys or their truck. If they are getting away and no longer a death threat let em go but if they are firing from the truck that is another thing. KAPOW.

Was it the extreme deadly high power tank killer 7.62 or just the regular less deadly 7.62.

This store is 20 minutes from my front door.

This local website has video of the break-in - shows a couple of white kids breaking storefront window but kept out by the “accordian gate” before giving up and leaving.

A pistol is something you use to fight your way back to your rifle. He used the correct weapon.

Don’t get me wrong I love and practice with hand guns of every stripe all the time. Out in the open with ferals pointing pistols at you in the street...he outgunned them with a rifle.

Interesting. Sounds like some real problems down that way.

Stay safe!

Roger that. For small arms you cannot beat a 30 caliber semi auto rifle.
