I've never shot a gun. I've never been trained. If I had one in my pocket and a guy attacked/robbed me, no amount of training would control my rage.

 

IMO you have listed two different situations. If you were robbed it would be wise to cooperate and maybe no gets injured but if you were physically attacked then you would have every right to show your rage and try to defend yourself by any means necessary for your survival.

I do understand it would be a hard decision to make in an instant but the training in a firearm class can give you the discipline & knowledge needed to survive the type of situation you listed.

So the store owner got robbed and the robber got out of the store, the owner went OUTSIDE the store and emptied his gun?!?!?! This guy is crazier than the robber. If he has insurance he will get the money back anyway.

Plus this took place in downtown Cincinnati about a block from the Krogers HQ.

I would certainly expect him to be charged.

Sounds like you have anger issues. Best you don't have a gun.

More importantly there is a grade school across the street from his store.

Just from walking by the store and seeing all his hand made signs in every aisle of his store, i think this guy is one fry short of a happy meal.

And if he had hit a kid at the school?

Point taken.:thumb: I wasn't using good judgement with my comment.

ANd this guy doesn't? That's EXACTLY why CC is a problem. People with a temper, me included, could and do make irrational decisions.

Do you have any links that show where a person with a CC permit was involved in an incident. I am sure their are cases where that has occured and it normally gets all the press where the good guy sometimes goes unoticed. There are many cases listed on the NRA web-site where a CC holder used proper judgement and protected his family and others around them.

The CC permit is not the problem as you have suggested, the individual is.

What's he got to do with CC, he doesn't have one. How is CC a problem? Show me some stats, cause I can show you plenty of stats disputing you.

Get the heck out of Cincinnati The guy's trying to make an honest living and some punk who does not want to work come's in and hold's you up. It's terrible this happened with school kid's around. As a parent I would be upset too, I'd also get the heck out of that neighborhood. Crap, they are robbing older women at Kroger's and Walgreen's Latonia KY in broad daylight!! GET A JOB!!! I need to stop now. You sure in the heck don't see this in the news.

61 year old with a gun? I would be afraid. :lol:

The sad part is that this world has become a cesspool for criminals who place everyone's life at risk when they committ these crimes. I wouldn't be surprised to see the criminal file a lawsuit against the store owner.

:thumb:I agree the criminals have all of the rights in today's courts it seems.

Absolutely correct here, to obtain CC permit a "law abiding" citizen must go thorugh a screening process (background checks, any police records, etc.) and a Classroom study and testing as well as on the range "hands on training" by professionals.

Where a crininal goes through none of these things.....that is why them call them criminals and not law abiding citizens!

I have always said..."A gun has never killed anyone, it was the idiot that pulls the trigger". IMO a CC carrying "law abiding citizen" is a responsible one and are trained as such in the proper handling of a weapon.
