TULSA, Oklahoma -
The owner of a Tulsa lawn care service made use of his handgun permit to protect himself and his business Monday afternoon.
The owner was on a mower when he said two people tried to steal some of this other equipment in a neighborhood near 31st and Garnett. He said the two people also tried to run him over in the truck they were driving. It was at that point he said he made the decision to draw his weapon.
A bullet hole and a couple of flat tires was all the damage left behind after Steve Anderson says he was forced to pull the trigger.

I would not call this a "warning shot", but our use of firearms, and societal norms are in considerable flux about what is and is not acceptable. 50 years ago, warning shots were considered acceptable by many.
.... takin’ care of business...
if a yahoo tried to run me over with a truck while i was driving a lawn tractor i might pull the gun but also get off the tractor as it isn’t very agile at running away from trucks
Oklahoma is a little more sensible than Florida....and Tulsa has some nasty Black Ghetto areas....hopefully that will keep the Black Racists from trying a Zimmerman lynching
