BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A father fatally shot a masked man Saturday who opened fire inside a McDonald’s restaurant, police said.

The father and one of his children were struck in the hail of bullets. The father had life-threatening injuries, WBRC reported. The child is recovering from non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said the father, who has not been identified, will not be charged, WBRC reported.

Good guy with gun takes out bad guy with gun. Got that, lefties?

They will never get it. All they understand is that Socialism will work here despite the fact that it fails every time it is tried

PLEASE get your friends to vote Republican.

How about paying the dad a bounty of the cost to imprison the dead thug for 20 years had he survived.

Because he lives in a free state where they haven’t outlawed self-defense.

It’ll be lost on them. They will think two guns got into an argument and pulled their human owners into it.

Once again, a good guy with a gun takes out a bad guy with a gun. Rinse and repeat.

Yet we are frequently ‘reliably’ informed by huffy lefty columnists that such things never happen and are merely revenge fantasies concocted by gun nuts.

I am 70 years old. I have been shooting since I was ten years old under supervision of my beloved granddad. At 13 I was allowed to have my own weapon and ammunition in my bedroom I was a hunter but no longer am unless it is vermin. I just got tired of killing but have zero problems with ethical hunters. My friend hunts my land and the venison and turkey is delicious

I am always armed anyplace it is legal. I am a protector of innocents and skilled.

I practice often with weapons on my rifle and pistol range. I am skilled.

Very little new information on two 10:00 o’clock local TV news shows. They did say the father and son do not have life threatening injuries, and the McDonald’s is on Lomb Avenue.

And authorities are trying to identify the dead shooter. Unclear if shooter was targeting someone in the restaurant or trying to rob it.
