Indianapolis - It was a busy night Monday at Buck's IGA on the 3000 block of South Meridian Street. "Charlie," who didn't want his image or name used with this story, was in line to check out.
A man police later identified as Dwain Smith reportedly ran into the store wearing a ski mask and yelling....
...Charlie says he responded immediately. "When I heard it I automatically took mine (gun) out." And Charlie says he was ready to act. "If he had raised it (gun) up yes I would have shot him."...
..."He was turning against the other woman. He didn't actually see me coming up at first and then when he did, he turned around and I yelled at him to put down his weapon," Charile explained.
"(The) next thing I know is Charlie is jumping over the, uh, courtesy booth into the courtesy booth," said Brooks.
Charlie says was face to face with the suspect. "He just stare and looked at me for a minute. I cocked it back and then, all of a sudden, he laid it down on the counter and put all the money down."

More proof that we should disarm the law-abiding citizens so that felons can do their thing safely. The baddie should sue Charlie for emotional distress and restraint of trade.

Maybe the store will ban him for touching another customer.

Proof we need more CCPs issued or better Open Carry laws.

The perpetrator had rights, and "Charlie" obstructed them. However, the rights in question were criminal imagined "rights" to terrorize people, and that is something anti-gun liberals do not want to see infringed upon in any fashion.

Of course, gun control works.

If, by gun control, you mean to never have to say "I missed you", then yes.

Irony of ironies, another crime stopped by a good citizen with a firearm.

And surprise of surprises. Almost nothing about it in the MSM. :confused:How else would gun control - a direct violation of a constitutional right - become so appealing?

An honest journalist may write up a story about it, but the editor typically rolls his eyes, buries it in the middle, or scraps it completely.

Give the hero a break.

Amazing how quickly a thug capitulates when he realizes he is screwed!

"Fight crime! Shoot back"
"Gun control: Being able to hit your target."

Gun control means never having to say you're sorry you missed.
