Armed robber shot in face by armed victim in Texas just days after permitless carry begins

https://news.google.com/articles/CBM...S&ceid=US%3Aen

Additionally, no charges are expected to be brought against the victim, as he was defending himself.

"He’s being extremely cooperative. He has no criminal history whatsoever," Willkens said of the victim.

Sounds like the victim had excellent gun control.

Fear of having to give a lawyer $30,000 just for starters would be a very real thing if I ever got into a situation in which I had to shoot a bad hombre.

It's always good when I hear someone has no criminal history, that's a clear pass in my eyes.

If I did the same here in Denmark or in Sweden, shot a man in the face as defending myself I could prepare a life in Prison.

You are allowed to defend yourself but not kill the perpetrator. Except if your life is in imminent danger, but even here you can be accused if you used more force than necessary

I never seriously felt like owning a firearm until the Patriot Act was enacted twenty years ago. I had plenty of air guns to play with but just didn't need a gun. The reason was I felt the government was stomping on constitutional rights so I exercised one to thumb my nose at Congress.

Sometimes it involves wanting it more than needing it (maybe a tad too much). Never-the-less 'needing it' often involves failed situational awareness.

The same could be said about seat belts, but most people choose to use them.

I think you missed the part where the perpetrator was armed... If a man is willing to use a weapon to commit a crime against you, he'll do it again to someone else. Killing him ensures he won't do it to someone else. Besides, the perp is going to live in this case.

That the perpetrator didn't actually shoot at the victim is irrelevant. Live by the sword, die by the sword...

Rather non-sequitur. But I'm used to that, by now.

The best reason for owning a firearm is because the government doesn't want you to have one.

Gun control in Israel is relatively strict, and firearm licenses are generally only granted to those who can show a need for extra security in their line of work or daily life. Meaning, one of the key criteria for a private citizen to receive permission to own a gun is where they live.

“I support the citizen and the individual over government elitists,” Yoel Israel, CEO of a digital marketing agency said. “I care about human rights and people’s lives. Guns are the great equalizer. Why is my wife afraid, and I keep only a golf club near my bed? It doesn’t make sense.”

I know it's not an immediate problem, but with the huge influx of illegals (millions), we will be dealing with the cartel and a corrupt local govt soon, I'm damn glad I don't just have a golf club to fight back with.

I'm thinking they might get their own 2nd amendment now in Israel. I thought they were like Switzerland with all the reservists having their firearms at home, but I guess not. Ha, since 2007 the Swiss get to keep their rifles at home, but no ammunition.

I do like the sound of Israeli building codes now requiring a panic room in each house. We could use a panic/tornado/hurricane room in our building codes.
