Philadelphia has been struck by the same violence as other major cities.

I'm quite familiar with this store as they were one of my good customers over the years that I was in the sporting goods business. He spent his whole life building this business so you can't blame him for protecting it.
The sign clearly states they were heading toward the Firing Line. I guess reading comprehension really is important.

Good for him and hopefully he doesn't let his guard down afterwards to fend off any possible retaliations.
Good for him. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Would like to add more to that but not looking to get banned today....
I like good stories
...and another one bites the dust!
Dance with the devil and reap the rewards.
Good shoot.

To report any post you disagree with press Alt + F4.
I dislike how the article said "he took matters into his own hand" as if he had any other option at that point. How about "he acted to defend himself".
Glad the man emerged uninjured and kept a lot of stolen guns of the street and out of the hands of thugs.

Bang...your dead!
It's a shame that he didn't have all four of them stacked up.
Yeah, along with "potential" and "alleged" looter........guess after cutting the lock with bolt cutters they were there for coffee and cake.
Or how they just had to point out that the owner used a Bushmaster "M4" and didn't mention what type of gun the perpetrator had OR if it was legal/stolen.
Good read. Like to see the good guys win in this particular instance.
The absolute delight that some are showing over the death of a human being is absolutely disgusting. Yes, I am glad that the store owner was able to defend himself, and that he was not hurt, but to revel in the result of that defense, which was the loss of a life, and to lament that there weren’t three more bodies to go with the one, is revolting. All lives matter, indeed, though the folks who are quickest to shout that when reminded that back lives matter seem to not actually believe it.
How would you feel if it was your parents store? And they were the ones threatened? The guy deserved what he got.
If it was my parents’ store I would be happy that they were okay, and sad that someone is dead, just the same as I feel reading this story.
