Don't take a punk pistol to a real gun fight ping!

[tlb]

On one side a Saturday night special, on the other an assault rifle. It's one more klashnokov of cultures.

[Libertina]

BUMP for good old American bravery! (Nice gun work, guy!)

[killermedic]

I hope he had all his background checks, licenses, fingerpring cards, etc. etc in order because we are a society dominated by laws, this is not the wild wild west where everybody who wants to pack a six-shooter, yada yada yada......and what about the real victim who was nearly assaulted by a madman defendin his neighbors and family ina pre-emptive manner. the evil of gun wielding members of society.
I said it here first

Woo hooo... luv this thread! Poor Robbers...

My personal favorite!

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

More like a robbery that went right. Lucky for the samaritan that the police didn't ventilate him when they showed up on scene and saw a guy holding an AK

[Walkingfeather]

As Carl the "assistant Greenskeeper would say"... drop back, with superior firepower.... and that's all she wrote".

[Neidermeyer]

Just a small point but one I feel compelled to make ,, this mans weapon was most likely a SKS-47 not an AK-47 , AK = automatic Kalishnikov , SKS = semi-automatic Kalishnikov ,,, I doubt he has a class 3 license for a fully automatic weapon... The weapon model is almost always inaccurately reported in the media..

""It was a robbery that just went wrong,"

What? How does a robbery got RIGHT?

[kittymyrib]

There are lots of ex-military men in San Antonio...and lots of AK-47s. It makes the neighborhood much safer, as anyone with a brain knows.

[coloradan]

I'm just SURE that the use of an AK(M)-47 for good purposes will be ALL OVER the headlines today.

[GingisK]

Every "assault rifle" is a "defense rifle" in the hands of a good American.

[Thunder90]

I love happy endings!!!

[NRA2BFree]

Amid the mayhem, the handgun went off, and a stray bullet struck one of the suspects.

Thank God that one of the brothers weren't killed!

That's being prepared!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Typical gun thread.

"It's an AK, it's NOT an AK, it's an SKS, it's NOT an SKS, it's something else, it's a chinese knock-off, I like ARs, AK's are crap, I clean with a copper solvent, that will wreck your barrel............."

Why is no one contesting THIS statement, from the article??????????


"He asked his wife to bring him his AK-47"

I call B.S.

;-)

[GrandEagle]

to bring him his AK-47
Odds are, (and I don't know absolutely), that it was not an AK47 anymore than my AR-15 is a M-16.
It probably was a semi-automatic that looks like an AK-47.

In any case, nice work!

"there's no need for any civilian to have a long-range weapon that has such a big magazine capacity"
[/graboid]

[eeevil conservative]

what I notice is no mention of the NAMES of the suspects....

WHY?
