71-Year-Old Concealed Carry Holder Opening Fire On

Post by pirateguy191 »

Williams is being hailed as a hero this week after he sprung into action on Friday to thwart an armed robbery at an internet cafe. Williams was present when two masked thugs walked into the Palms Internet Cafe in Marion County, Florida. One of the men was brandishing a gun while the other had a bat. They started ordering patrons around and one smashes a computer screen. That’s when Williams took action.

great video

Williams puts the sneek on the perps who fall all over themselves getting out the door.

The article I read, if I read it correctly said that Dawkins was released on $11,000.00 bond. You got to be kidding.

Here we go, I found it.
Henderson remained in the Marion County Jail late Monday in lieu of a $31,000 bond. Dawkins was released Sunday after posting an $11,000 bond.

This just absolutely sickens me...


Also, it looked like Williams shot approx 6 times with a couple being at very close range. Where neither of the scum hit?

What can we learn from this? Handgun rounds suck as man stoppers but the .380 caliber piercing flesh dissuaded the perps from continuing the behavior.

I think seeing those idiots panicked and tripping over themselves was the best part. The scariest thing for those types is when the sheep have teeth... and aren't afraid to bite.

Reminded me of something I heard once...

Chalk this one up as a win for the good guys.

Plus with that 10-20-Life Mandatory sentancing law in Florida, if convicted (hard to see why they would not be) they'll be in jail for a long time.

The weapon served its purpose. The bad guys left. The bad guys were caught when they went to the hospital. The good guys are safe.

Macho calibers were not needed! :lol: :lol: :twisted: :mrgreen:

He seems to have fired his last shot at roughly 1:02, and by 1:04 he has returned to proper trigger discipline.
