Another victory for the armed

Don't know whether this clerk was a HCP holder, but it's good to see when those that think they can take what isn't theirs get what they ask for

Clerk fatally shoots robbery suspect, claims self-defense - WKRN, Nashville, Tennessee News, Weather and Sports |

[Guest pfries]

"Suspect is claiming self defense" he alledgedly had a knife, find it nuff said. Not to mention there are other circumstances that even if the perp was unarmed the clerk may have feared for life and or serious bodily injury.

Good for the clerk

Dead thug. How sad . Some of the comments after these kind of articles amaze me. Predators lose sometimes. I know that from watching the Animal Channel

There is some saying about playing stupid games

Another criminal getting what he deserves IMO.

[sschrick]

no witnesses, no video cams. . .I say it's a clean shoot!

Maybe this will make the next thug think before he goes into a store to rob somebody.

The obvious winners? Taxpayers.

Comments under the news story are priceless...Good for the clerk!

The obvious winners? Taxpayers.

Ain't that the truth. No free rent, 3 squares, and healthcare for him.

I am a firm believer of owning the consequences for ones actions and he suffered the ultimate. The sad part of the story is the fact that he left two kids behind. They didn't deserve this. Hopefully they will grow up to have better role models and make better decisions.

Some of the comments were a little flavorful, but freedom of speech right?

Doesn't really matter if he has an HCP, he was in his place of business and authorized to carry their.

I agree with that, but there is debate in another thread.

Would like to know if he has a HCP or not...

According to a search of the Commercial Appeal's database (last updated 03/08/11) there is no one in the whole state of TN with the clerks last name that has a permit.

But also just for argument sake....if he did need a HCP and didn't have one....if it is determined to be self-defense he would be covered by 39-17-1322

I'm fully aware that he was in his place of business and authorized to carry. My point was that, regardless of whether or not he was a HCP holder, this is good for the cause. More people with guns who are protecting what's theirs is the message here.

I'd like to know what weapon and caliber was used.

What I meant to say by my statement was that maybe in the future if someone is faced with a decision to go out and work honestly and make some money or... commit a crime to steal some money that perhaps the fact that he may be shot in the chest by an armed store owner will sway his decision.
