From Hotair.com:

Ah, sweet justice — drink it in, it always goes down smooth. There are few things that warm my heart quite so much as watching a lawfully armed citizen give a good lesson to a couple of bad guys who seek to threaten, intimidate, and possibly cause fatal bodily harm to others while undermining the rule of law. In an Internet cafe in Florida the other night, two armed robbers likely gained a newfound respect for the Second Amendment.



“Based on what I have seen and what I know at this time, I don’t anticipate filing any charges,” said Bill Gladson of the State Attorney’s Office for 5th Judicial Circuit.


Gladson said he has reviewed the security surveillance video from the cafe. While he still awaits final reports from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, he said the shooting appeared justified.


Samuel Williams, 71, who fired the shots, has a concealed weapons permit, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Under Florida law, a person is allowed to use deadly force if he or she fears death or serious injury to themselves or others. …


…At least one of his 30 fellow patrons at the cafe wants to thank him.


“I think he is wonderful. If he wouldn’t have been there, there could have been some innocent people shot,” said Mary Beach.



Absolutely textbook. I’m always amazed by people who seemed shocked or aghast by their friends and neighbors carrying weapons — if you don’t want to take the responsibility of owning and carrying a firearm upon your person, that’s fine. It’s your life, and you can cope with the risks. But I would think they’d be grateful when perfectly responsible, law-abiding citizens like this create a positive externality for everybody else by undertaking the task. Honestly, if criminals thought a few more people might be carrying concealed weapons in these instances, how much more or less eager do you think they’d be to try and commit the crime in the first place?

F's take:

Hats off to the old dude! No fear, just took care of business. Be sure to check the video at the link.
conceal and carry, works.
stand your ground, works.

Thats why liberals hate it.

    I did this story yesterday and I think it is awesome! This is one of any reasons lawful citizens should carry if they choose.

    Not too surprised at the vote so far...I'm sure there will be some Anti-Rights Dems or Liberals who will put in their 2 cents worth. ( Some Hillary lover...)...So here sat 30 people, many of whom could have been seriously injured or even killed, and one 71 year old stepped up and took care of business...no hesitation, no back up in him...it was all forward motion and didn't stop till the bad guys scrambled outside...GOOD FOR HIM! My only remark to him would have been..."Dude, why didn't you bring the .45?"....(I know, too hard to conceal in your shorts!)

    The Liberal/Progressive establishment would rather have 30 people assuming room temp than one live hero.

    Because you can't beat the public with a live hero like you can with a cold corps.

    "Willie White, 75, was watching a basketball game at about 1:15 a.m. when he heard a steady banging at his door. White armed himself with a rifle before an 18-year-old intruder was able to kick in the door. White said, “I was nervous—I figured if someone’s hostile enough to break your door down, he’s capable of anything. So once he came inside my house, I shot him.” The intruder sustained a single gunshot wound that proved fatal. His two accomplices fled the scene."

    Saves prosecution costs and jail expense. Plus taxpayers are probably paying medical expenses for the criminals.
