Michigan man shoots thief

Post by bignflnut »

The suspect and the alleged victim, who police said is a 23-year-old man, arranged to meet at the apartment of the 23-year-old, on the 1600 block of Calvert, so that the victim could sell the suspect his iPhone, said Officer Holly Lowe, a Detroit Police Department spokeswoman. The area is north of Chicago Boulevard and west of the John C. Lodge Freeway.

The men arranged the transaction online.

In the course of the transaction, the suspect pulled out a handgun, police said.

But the 23-year-old — who has a license to carry a concealed handgun — pulled out his own gun and shot the suspect in his right thigh.
A) Good job being prepared (mindset, tools, training, etc).
B) Don't do these online sales things in your home.
C) In the leg?

"Avarice, ambition, revenge and licentiousness would break the strongest cords of our Constitution, as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams to Mass Militia 10-11-1798

Shots fired in haste seem to very often go low, when they're off target. Hence the value of training and practice.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!
