LTCH Holder shoots robber

[rnmcguire]

Another story that ended as it should. I'll say that that the victim is lucky he wasn't shot though as it appears he pulled his gun and hesitated to fire which allowed the thug to turn his weapon and react to him.

Did they verbiage really try to sound sad that the person with the GSW was classified as a suspect and not a victim, and that the shooter was classified as the victim and not a suspect?

Or am I reading this with too little caffeine?

I think EVERYONE is tired of the bottom feeders doing as they please. The bad guys should get lead poisoning every time they try to rob or victimize someone.

But maybe the guy was just down on his luck trying to feed his family. That's no reason to get shot for?!

He was a good boy and he'd never do nothin' like that!

Yeah, I think the Star is a little surprised about that. Screw them.

I wonder if the word is spreading in Thugland that more and more of us are arming ourselves or are they oblivious to stuff like that?

Glad the victims are both safe and the man was armed to protect himself.

Good thing the thug was a bad shot since he got off the first shot.

I'm glad as well. Just wish he'd been a "better shot" and not have to feed and house that bottom feeding thug SOB.

The report does classify the wounded man and his apparent partner as suspects, however, and it designates Orr and Ellis as victims.

Sounds about right...

They also inspected Orr’s firearm and found he has a valid permit, the report states.

Reckon the "suspects" will be found to have a valid "permit"?

Good job Mr. Orr. Way to nut up when staring down the barrel of a gun and being able to hit your target under fire.

True he got off the first shot, but he was already drawn and probably crapped down his leg when he saw the victim had a gun too. I'd rather take my chances drawing my weapon, then hope the guy doesn't execute me after taking my stuff. jmo

We need more stories like this . It's two fold , one it shows guns in the hands of law abiding citizens can save lives and it shows the animals who prey on society that sometimes a sheep dog bites back

I wonder if he's a member here?

If the guy was taken immediately to surgery he likely had a nice COM hit.

I heard that he was, but he stopped posting yesterday after a warrant was issued.

I hope they find the other guy too. Perhaps the criminals need to spend more time on the range and less time stealing from others?

 

[Echelon]

Some lessons to be learned here for sure. Could have turned out VERY differently.

I would be quite content for the criminal NOT to spend more time at the range, and then they could spend vastly more time in a dirt nap.
