2014-06-02
[Breitbart] On May 29 a retired Marine eating lunch at a Houston, TX, strip mall reacted to a robbery in progress by retrieving his concealed carry (CCW) handgun, killing one of the suspected robbers, and sending the second one fleeing.
Well done !

#6  I drank ArcLite 24 a couple of times. All the best liquor stores in Oakland carried it.

#5  It's almost 15:00 Zulu and an F-150 just rolled into the lot.

I will put the TeeVee on the ArcLite 24 Channel.

#4  The former Marine went to his pick-up truck, "retrieved a semi-automatic pistol, and told a bystander to call 911."

FIFY. Sounds like it could have been a Clint Eastwood line. Maybe he should have called the undertaker as well. My money would have been on the Marine from the gitgo.

#1  I was really worried this was close to us but it turned out to be further up into Houston. Still, good job. Houston CCW owners seem to be fairly proficient and/or lucky when it comes to incidents.
