In these days of HIPPA, one wonders how these photos were allowed to be taken.

_{Because, Texas. Silly me.}

[Mr. Mojo]

Prepared, responsible citizen with handgun will beat a dumb thug with an AK every time.

Ignored because it was a good guy (civilian) with a gun that stopped a bad guy with a gun. That simply doesn’t fit the narrative. . .

Police said the customer called to Cooper once they were outside.

Customer: How did ya like the taste of them apples?

Journalist’s guide to firearms! LOL! Love it!

Apparently, when trying to intimidate Texans, an AK-37 is useless if you’re not also pulling the trigger.

I’m in the People’s Republic of Maryland, where that criminal would have been much safer. Our government mostly prosecutes cops and law-abiding gun owners. A criminal would have zero risk of being shot here, and near zero danger from prosecution.

I do so love a happy ending.

I know a guy who sells out-the-front switchblades, and is producing mounts to put them on the end of an AR. He says he’s sold a few, too.

Nothing good happens in public after 2am.

Waffle House eateries are often places where robbers go to practice their craft.

Bloop !

His military grade assault rifle weapon of war was camouflaged making it easy to hide with his tattoos.

That looks like a European coachman’s pistol circa mid 18th century..................

I got pretty good judging the proper arch with one of those.

I bet:

Armed citizen = white guy with no criminal past

Perp = black thug with a long rap-sheet
