Not a nice town. Thankfully, the firefighter had a gun.

Lock and load, glad this guy was armed!
At least, they are not still waiting for the police to show up.
Charlton would be proud and so am I , kudos to the fireman .
can you own a weapon in Philly?...or is this guy the fortunate result of ignoring the gun grabbers and saying, "I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6".
The sad part is ... is that it is easier to get a gun permit in PA than it is to get one in NJ..... its just ... sad.
The sheeple don't realize that the police have no constitutional obligation to protect individuals from private individuals.
In 1856, the U.S. Supreme Court (South v. Maryland) found that law enforcement officers had no affirmative duty to provide such protection.
In 1982 (Bowers v. DeVito), the Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit held, "...there is no Constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered by criminals or madmen."
So, every time some moron says 'what do you need a gun for'; you tell them about this story. The cops were not there to protect this fireman. He may be dead in this case if not for being personally armed.
S solid piece of work!
Lesson: Don't get into a fire fight with a firefighter.
