Maybe its better reporting, but we’re hearing of increasing
numbers of shootings and self-defense uses of guns. Over the
weekend, homeowners in Charlotte and Salt Lake City shot and killed
intruders and in Arlington, Texas, a 68-year-old licensed carrier
reported drawing on a handgun-armed robber who undoubtedly thought
that senior citizen was an easy mark.

“Are you sure you want to go through with this,” the Korean
War vet asked. The robber fled.

I can understand his reluctance to fire, but it probably wasn’t smart
to be polite before shooting. The robber might have fired first.
