My sister is a cop and
I live in Alaska.

The store owner stated very clearly on the Fox tape that it was the ‘first time he’d had to shoot at someone’.

The posted article is from the AP. Tough call, storeowner, AP, storeowner, AP.....NOT!

The posted article has been filtered through the ASSociated Press, any semblance to the truth is accidental and totally unintentional especially in reference to whites, Christians, conservatives, guns, the Constitution, the US flag, and/or servicemen and women. The ASSociated Press regrets any inconvenience caused by the indiscriminate but purely accidental disemination of facts.

A non-lethal encounter with a .40 cal round????

That is some very poor shooting at such close range!!!!!

Even without a head or center of chest shot — a .40 cal should create a large enough blood stream to bleed to death is one is a little slow with the 911 call..

Note that the clerk shot the suspect as he was running away from the scene of the crime. If I were in the clerk’s position, and that same thing went down, I’d be in jail on charges of attempted murder or, most likely, murder. I’ll give you 2 reasons why: 1) My son isn’t a cop. 2) I live in New Jersey, not Georgia.

How true. We "subjects" in the Garden State are not allowed to arm ourselves because the NJ Supreme Court thinks that the "proliferation of firearms" is dangerous to society. Hmmmm. Even if your son were a cop in NJ, you'd still get charged with discharging a firearm, and I hope you have a permit to keep it at your business, or they'd add that one on too. I'm not sure if the castle doctrine applies to liquor stores, so they'd probably find some bogus charge there as well. You'd probably also get charged with attempted murder, and you'd be sued by the scumbag's family for denying them a right to income. Great state we live in, yes?????

Living in Illinois, the only way I could legally carry a gun is to carry my son around on my back and he’s bigger than I am.

Don’t tell the perpos that! :)

[Freedom2specul8]

So good to see and hear good news! Thnx for the story, video and ping...

[Freedom2specul8]

Rhetorical question right?

[Freedom2specul8]

I’m not familiar with NJ laws— clerks are required by law to be unarmed?

[Freedom2specul8]

Ah, media filtering strikes again.

[Freedom2specul8]

“filtered”! You beat me to it!

“Rhetorical question right?”

I think this a classic case of a rhetorical question.

Sounds like a machete attack.
