You rarely read or hear about incidents like this where a law abiding citizens uses a firearm for self defensive purposes. That is unless you read a section in the NRA publication where it chronicles self defense firearm use from around the country every month.
I know several anti-gun posters will decry this shooting as saying the poor thug would still be alive today if there were not a gun involved.
Well guess what, the law abiding citizen might very well have been killed or severely injured had he not had the gun vs. 3 guys obviously intent upon harming him.
Uh oh -- a feel-good thread about a black man defending himself (for a change) is turning into another acrimonious gun debate.
Ok -- I'll bite. You can show me a thousand such stories. None will convince me that I need to give up my right to self defense because the world is full of psychos or incompetent morons.
I'm just going to have to disagree with the celebratory attitude towards somebody's death, I guess.
I don't see anyone here 'celebrating' that a person died, but rather if someone had to die it was better it being the instigator of the crime rather than the innocent victim... for a change.
