A father eating at a Popeye’s restaurant -- and carrying his licensed handgun -- shot a would-be robber dead Wednesday after the thief threatened the man's family at gunpoint and demanded the dad's belongings.
The San Antonio Police Department said Ander Herrera, 19, walked into the restaurant on South Flores Street just after 9 p.m. Wednesday and demanded Carlos Molina hand over his cash.
Molina, 32, said he had no money because he had just bought his family a meal. The gunman then turned toward the counter and started yelling at a manager who was trying to take cover, FOX29 reported.
Authorities said two more members of Molina’s family came out of a restroom amid the commotion and the suspect pointed his gun at them.
Molina then whipped out his gun and shot Herrera several times, killing him.

I'm pretty sure that Texas does not require a license to own a handgun. Where is the writer from, a state that does require a license to own?
Good.
Another thug off the streets.
I wonder if he was an illegal.

“Molina fired at Herrera in defense of a third person...”
In Texas, that’s the same as self defense, IIRC.
Don’t play chicken, if you can’t take a lickin...
The phrased you used is confusing, but if you are saying that you can only legally use deadly force in defense of self or others and not property in Texas, then you are misinformed. See - Texas Penal Code - PENAL § 9.32. Deadly Force in Defense of Person
flores-molina.....no problem.....I just hope Molina wasn’t too white.....or flores too dark....
>>I wonder if he was an illegal.<<
If not before, he is now!
