  Feel good story of the day.
  
  
  And honestly... how much money do you think you would get robbing a Popeyes?

  Good guy with a gun? Must be fake news, 'cuz that never happens....:roll:

  Knowledge is essential to living freely and fully; understanding gives knowledge purpose and strength; wisdom is combining the two and applying them appropriately in words and actions.

  Sorry the young thug got himself whacked because of a bad decision to commit a robbery, but the father did the right thing.

  There was a recent study that conclusively shows your chances of being shot and killed drop precipitously if you don't try to rob folks....

  The only person in this story I feel sorry for is the father that did the shooting. He's got to deal with what he had to do for the rest of his life.
  
  The thug.... you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes, or in his case, you lose... your life

  No early release, pardon, or parole from the graveyard! A long term lease on a very small piece of real estate costs the taxpayers less money than prison, also!

  Another Scum Bag's Demise. You gotta be seriously lacking in grey matter to pull a gun in public in Texas these days, the Church in Southerland Springs the exception(Who woulda thunk that would happen in Texas?), because the place will be crawling with conceal carriers with the balls to do what is needed. I carry wherever I go that doesn't have a sign. I don't carry in the post office or other federal facilities, I try not to spend a lot of time in any Gun Free Zones, because it's not healthy to do so. That's what Scumbags and Terrorists prey on. But Gun Free Zones are slowly disappearing as people realize how this works.

  Daddy, what's an enabler?
  Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
