Liquor store owner shoots and kills robber

This story is sad in that someone was killed by a handgun. It is also sad that someday, somewhere, an anti-gun nut will use it as "another teen-ager killed by a handgun."

The facts seem to be that these two fine young fellows decided to threaten deadly violence to steal money from a small business owner. This business owner happens to be a law-abiding, responsible gun owner who has spent some time on the firing line.

You can pick up the story here: http://www.wsbtv.com/video/26040997/index.html

Also notice that there is video shown of a similar experience that happened to the same business owner, at the same location, in the same kind of encounter two years ago. CAUTION: graphic violence

There are lessons to be learned here, and we don't mean lessons learned for the bad guys. Think about what it means to be a gun-owner, preparing to protect yourself in this way. And think about what would happen if you do someday, and there is a video of it, being watched by thousands and thousands of people over and over again.

Do you think you should go practice a little? THIS is why we train.
