Last count 96% DO NOT CHARGE
4% CHARGE Me: Give him a Medal (and counseling - I'm sure that he, like most of us, will be haunted by the memory of having to take a life - regardless of the circumstances). |

Excellent gun handling under pressure! Hope he gets over the shooting okay! One problem for me is I would sound TOO CALM on the phone which may look bad to some who don't realize some folks have a different regard for criminal oxygen thieves than hard working folks trying to live an honest life!

As my dad said to me recently.
"I'm hyper-ventilating when the cops show up if I ever shoot anyone." "But you've seen combat before dad?" "Yeah, that's why I'm doing it AFTER I shoot someone and not during."

He did whats right and that should be enough,every one has their own hell and i feel bad for him but not the robber/mugger.I can only hope that there would be more people out in our world that would help out but from all the videos you see on tv,they are more likely to run than anything.I think the majority of americans have gone soft or are afraid that the courts will send them up the river.What a shame to,and my hat is off to this guy.

I do not know what I would have done under the same circumstances, perhaps exactly the same. You cannot know until its happening. What I do know is, I would not being doing TV interviews afterward.

I know that even as an unarmed patron of the store I would have hopped me a counter and commenced to kickin butt! No rules either! Eyes gouged out, ears bit off as well as nose if I get a chance choke hold, boot heels to the side of the head! Gruesom as I may sound it is no different then these thugs are willing to be so I have to go for it all!
I could never look my bulldogs in the eye again if I just walked away! Brent |
