Want to know what size shot the store owner used.

Could you imagine if the perp lost an eye to a bb from the charge? the perp's lawyer would own the store!

choose your shot size carefully depending on the location it will most likely be used.

just never, ever say you just fired to scare off the perps. You will be charged with felony assault. always say you intended to shoot the perp.

Remember when biden said to buy a shotgun and fire it in the air to scare away perps? great advice from a seasoned politician, lawyer senator and VP.....that would get you charged with felony assault. Be careful whose advice you take, no matter who.

It's an area in the inland valley East of Los Angeles. Check the comments on the video too.
It's so sad that another productive citizen has been injured. He will be less able to work with his arm being injured.

And just think, if this actually did happen in NYC, they would probably arrest, incarcerate and attempt to prosecute the store owner.
Obviously you wish to criminalize poverty.

The appropriate move would have been to send a social worker with a list of benefits for which he qualified.

Criminals and their accomplices don't tend to be particularly intelligent.

The owner should have verified that it wasn't a toy gun and wasn't a joke.

Ha,..this is sarcastic, no?

He'd be dead by the time that happened.

Masked dude at Night walks in weapon in hand aimed at you saying,, " Hands Up, Hands up".

Sorry, that is reasonable cause to defend yourself lethally, imho.

Too bad the store owner did turn the guy's head into pink mist. LOL

The store owner didn't waste any time, as soon as that fool stepped into the door the owner let one fly.

They always claim it's stolen. #1 scam for all hit and runs etc. Yet it's magically within the owners hands within minutes of it being stolen? No search for who stole it?

Good thing that didn't happen in DA Gascon's turf or that old dude would be screwed, blued and tattooed.
