The victim has not been charged at this time.

There is so much wrong with that statement. The only thing that the victim should be charged with is having bad aim.

I guess that the perp bit off a bit more than he could chew. I love happy endings. Sniff.

Deputies: Armed robbery victim shoots alleged robber

Politically Correct:

The Alleged Armed Robbery Victim Shot The Alleged armed Robber!

Double speak s one of the hallmark attributes of a socialist society (no caps!) where Truth is relative and if you don't adhere to PC you are

ESCHEWED!

He was shot without a proper investigation and a court trial.
Oh, and without first going through the proper media scrutiny.

Perfect ending!

[Young Werther]

So I can shoot you after a proper investigation and a court trial?

Media Screw Teary?

Calling Messy B Scene!

It would be nice to have a few more details. Did the robber have the drop on the CCW carrier? Make and caliber of pistol, number of rounds fired and placement of actual hits would be a bonus.

[MaxMax]

Yes, but you must wade through the red tape first before you can defend yourself.

Meanwhile, guns are jumping out of holsters and randomly shooting alleged robbers.

[Young Werther]

We do know that the alledged perp littered the parking lot of the Dollar General with a cast off gun.

I believe that there are kids in the vicinity of this store. The alledged perp could have donated this gun at his local gang headquarters so that the kids would have easy access to unused firearms.

[MaxMax]

You nailed it. In Cincinnati dealers hide guns in bushes around neighborhoods
for rental purposes, then after a few shootings they dump them in the Ohio river.

It's not as bad lately but anything could set off another Over the Rhine mob.

“The victim has not been charged at this time.”

It looks like a good use of the state’s castle doctrine. The South Carolina Supreme Court recently “liberalized” the state’s self-defense law. The court ruled that it’s okay to shoot even unarmed perps.

It’s open season on thugs in SC.

>>Make and caliber of pistol, number of rounds fired<<

That would be a Glock with an extended magazine or an AK-47 with double magazines.
