TRENTON - The handgun is just a few weeks old, purchased by Praveen Malhotra because he had been robbed of cash by a gunman just two months after he took over ownership of the Sanhican Liquor Shoppe last October.
On Thursday at 9:15 p.m., Malhotra said, he needed the weapon when another gunman managed to sail through a small, square opening in the Plexiglas fortress in the Edgewood Avenue store designed to prevent such an invasion.

Hope he has another gun, if the police impounded his.
"If you get up, I'll shoot you again" bump.
I like the guy, too.

Hats off to Abu! Self taught and focused! I bet the .357 created a career change for wounded.

A prime example of why it is good for a private citizen to have the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

... Malhotra was transformed from a diminutive, bespectacled liquor store owner to a growling protector of his property ...Great story.

Good for him. If he had hesitated, he'd probably had been the victim rather than the victor.

I am imagining a kind of Apu voice ("The Simpsons") when Praveen told the would be robber to keep still and not move.

Don't misunderstand me, glad the crook took a couple of rounds. However, perhaps we could send Praveen some Glaser's for his .357? Federal Hydra-shoks? The only reason I mention it, the creep survived.
To: FreedomPoster
Like the pic, by the way. LOL

Good idea! I'd favor the Hydra-Shoks.

Gudger went to prison in March of 2001 for a robbery conviction from Mercer County. He had a one-year mandatory minimum term.One fricking year for robbery? I bet he's glad he wasn't involved with drugs. That's much worse then robbery.

An especially good story because it occurred in the Peoples Republic of New Jersey.

He said he never took shooting instructionFlag this thread and remember it when a lib' is going on about how "only the properly trained should have guns," or some other such nonsense.
