Multiple assailants are a deadly threat.

The quote for this comes from Bruce Willis: “Welcome to the party, pal!”

This guy didn’t take hostages. Usually when someone gets some lead, the others manage to scram in time. Not here, not this time. The healthiest of the the three is now in Critical, which means that this shop owner meant business.

I think a gift card for a good cleaning would be a nice touch.

The Detroit and Chicago crime beat will always keep a reporter employed.

Btw, the store owner sounds like a cool dude. The article says he sometimes gives out free food. Terrible though, he could have lost some alcohol.

"Multiple assailants are a deadly threat."

And, a common scenario. That's why I discourage people from placing their lives at risk with novelty weapons like derringers and .22 mini revolvers.

The video looks like the owner is Muslim from Pakistan or Arabia. The robbers could be Amish or Mennonite most likely

A few years ago a local car stereo shop owner was severely beaten and had his leg broken by 3 thugs. When they tried again a few weeks later the shop owner opened up with a shotgun. He killed one of them and put another in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

A significant number of shopkeepers in Detroit are Chaldean.

I think this is more how it was 20 years ago. Their children are not going into such a dangerous business. I read "Devils Night" many years ago which had some humorous passages about the Chaldean shopkeepers. Such as taking a thief into the basement, handcuffing him to a steel support pole, then wacking at him for a few days

This man was prepared, I’m sure he had rehearsed in his mind this exact scenario as well as many others, so as not to be taken by surprise.

Prepared to act, not react, led to a decisive victory.

Click on the link for the Draco “pistol” This with a green laser is a formidable weapon for protection. It is ugly but you have 30 rounds in a magazine and the AK style construction gives excellent jam free clambering. Foot lbs of energy is about 1050 foot lbs. This is 2 to 3 times the energy of a 45 ACP dependent on which 45 cartridge you are using. Zero the green laser for 100 yards and a center of mass aim point will insure an impact in a vital area from the muzzle to 150 yards.
