A great news story. Three rogues put down. The man is expected to live. Truly a most noble and gallant knight!

That's an excellent example of why the second amendment keeps us safer, not makes us easier targets. Chances are without those firearms, the story would be about 2 murder victims and the search for their killers.

Huzzah for that store owner!

2nd amendment for the win!
I really don't get how people can't wrap their minds around the fact that criminals don't care whats legal or not. really. When we make guns illegal, all we are doing is making sure that the only people who get them are those who aren't afraid of breaking the law. Not so hot a situation, IMO   ::)

I love it...this man stood up for his business, his wife and himself.  There's no guarantee that the robbers would've let them live after having seen their faces...he took the only course of action he felt was open to him.  Need more like him.
