Roswell is supposed to be a NICE part of town.

But thugs have transportation.

Terrible story.
It says that the knife struck him in the cell-phone battery compartment.
It glosses over the fact that he discharged his weapon at the POS.
Could we, perhaps, get a more accurate description?

Oh, yeah, and by the way, given a choice between a handgun,or a cell phone, what would you rather have?

This guy was lucky:

"That was the first time I had ever fired that gun," he said.

Always, always, always familiarize yourself with a firearm. Especially one that is intended primarily for self defense.

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.

Never bring a knife to a gun fight.

Glad the clerk is okay.

"That was the first time I had ever fired that gun," he said.

Working at a liquor store in Atlanta, it probably won't be the last time.

Now if the clerk had been practicing double tap, center of mass shooting the creep wouldn’t be suffering non-critical wounds and wouldn’t be fed, clothed and sheltered by taxpayers.

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..

Sounds like a machete attack.
