Bravo. If I were in the area, I would certainly patronize this business and congratulate the marksmanship of the shooter.

"Exchange" of gunfire?

So mister nasty mean gun owner wasn't unfairly defending himself against an unarmed robber?

But....But, maybe we can all help capture the suspect if they release a description. I’m looking through a Amish Mug Book of suspects now.

From the story, Carter was with the (unfortunately) still breathing perp. Sure she will still sue the store owner. Sigh.

“From the story, Carter was with the (unfortunately) still breathing perp. Sure she will still sue the store owner. Sigh.”

Honestly, if she was with him then she was part of the gang and he should have shot her just for that before the cops arrived and then told the police “I thought she had a gun”

Yeah, that is despicable but that is what the hard left has turned me into . I sanction vigilante action because the hard left refuses to deal with criminals legally.
