Authorities say a customer at a South Carolina Waffle shop pulled a gun and shot one of two men trying to rob the restaurant.

Authorities said the customer had a concealed weapon permit and tried to hold the two men at gunpoint until officers arrived, but that one suspect began to point his gun at the customer, who then fired shots. The second robber fled and is being sought by authorities.

More gun carrying citizens mean lower crime and fewer criminals.

... less crime or lower crime rate...

Folks are “getting it done” in South Carolina in a big way today.

Only thing wrong with this picture is that the robber thought it was okay to rob people at gunpoint.

Coroner Rusty Clevenger identified the dead man as 19-year-old Dante Lamont Williams of Roebuck, who was shot in the head and body.

The customer was not only right but accurate.

“The customer was not only right but accurate.”

Well said.

If the owner has any sense, he will give this customer and his family free pass to the restaurant for life.

So, he stopped one of the perps from voting in the primary?

I seriously doubt the perp was a Republican.

Reading the comments attached to the news story you linked is... very revealing.

It speaks of a group of people who simply cannot seem to grasp reality.

Gun-owning customer to waitress, “How would YOU LIKE your robbers, one hole or two?”

Waitres: “Well done, like our toast”.

Worth checking out. There's a comment from someone who says she was there.

“19-year-old Dante Lamont Williams”

I’d hazard to guess we now have 1 less Obama voter.

Don't cha just hate it when a dude gets scattered, smothered and covered at the WH?

One less bastard child of Oblama and Holder.
