Don't know the whole story, but if a gun was being pointed at me, I'd have to think mighty long and hard about whether it would be wise to try to draw and shoot. Glad it worked out for the customer. Maybe the dirtbag got distracted and there was a window of opportunity.....

I thought about this also. My best guess is that the deceased thought the shooter was getting out his cell phone to give it to him, and he was mistaken.

A good example of why many choose to be armed and defend themselves.

Let's hope the killers are caught and executed.

Caj, I had stopped at that same store a few months ago after leaving the Kenner Gun Show. As I was walking up to the door the parking lot was swarmed with ATF agents and local officers. They took down a car occupied by several folks and arrested all of them. It looked like they had been straw buying AK's and AR's at the show. Further down the page in your newspaper there is an article about auto burglaries in a couple of the nicer subdivisions. My brother and fellow forum member "Louisiana Joe" lives at Ashton Plantation and his security cameras picked up photos of three suspects, one of which was trying the doors on his cars. He shared these with the local LEO's.

Well the BG asked for a phone..........

"Well, stick this in your ear........"
Dang, missed and hit his neck.

Looks like more range time.

Glaser said investigators were still piecing together the full story behind Sylla's robbery, but that Sylla did everything that police recommend people do to survive a hold-up. And the chief said he was horrified that it didn’t save Sylla’s life.

I guess the police chief is so naive that he doesn't believe that there are evil people in the world that do evil things just because they are evil. Larry

As the old adage goes,

"Better to be judged by 12, than carried by 6!"

Whenever someone pulls a gun on me, I figure he's gonna use it; and act accordingly. There are no guarantees that he will leave me alive, as a witness.

Or, alternatively...

"My lawyer can get me out of jail a lot easier than he can get me out of a cemetery!"

That is a classic. Never heard it put that way before.

You just don't know the right lawyer

Definitely a cause for celebration! The first round of peppermint mochas are on me!
