Don't bring an ar to a shotgun fight... My weapon of choice.
Be funny if they shared the same recuperating room. Also didn't they release the wrong dude?
Survived is the only problem.
00 buckshot would have fixed that! Musta had bird shot in his.
Well, that's what you get for illegally parking your stolen BMW in a handicapped spot. Bob
on my premise he would have gotten more than 1 shot
That's just too funny, the big bad perp was screaming like a little girl. Guess he was just a * to start with.
Don't mess with Grandpas.
The good guys don’t run.
He should team up with surviving Wisconsin rioter and share arms.
Good on the old fellow
But the AR the bad guy had was illegal it had a 30 round mag a forward grip and of course being a AR all no go in kal.
I guess he missed the memo he was breaking the law with it in kal.
More proof bad guys do not care about laws
Since this happened in California the shooter will probably be charged with attempted murder.
Guns and BMW were all stolen. I hope all are returned to their rightful owners.
These are exactly the type of guys that gun laws should cover; 50 years, no parole.
AR all the way and especially beyond 50 yards. It's really no contest. It all boils down to who shoots first.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
That moron was standing 15 feet away. The shotgun up close rules. They do make slug also...
Might even get a two for one shot with a shotgun
I watched the video in slow motion and it looked like the bad guy started to turn away before the good guy pulled the trigger. Hopefully that will not be a problem for him.
Why would someone rob a store from 50 yards away ? At close range with a shotgun; there is no compromise. Using a slug your shooting an 18mm cannon if your using a 12ga.
Stuck on covid distancing?
Grandpa should have been using Federal Power Shock - Magnum #4 - 41 pellet - buckshot - and aimed for center of mass - problem would have been solved - permanently. Best Regards - AQH
If he hit him in the chest, there at 20 feet, with #8 bird shot he would have died right there on the floor, of the liquor store.
Close range birdshot is a lethal weapon.
At last report, he was in "critical" condition and if that shot hit the middle of the arm bone, he probably has gotten his arm amputated.
Davon's new name is Lefty.
"he probably has gotten his arm amputated."
There's a joke here about 'keeping and bearing arms', I'm just too lazy to look for it...
My bet is that the robber has more issues to deal with... Armed Robbery with a deadly weapon .... Possession of a firearm by a felon ...He should be spending quite a bit of time in prison..not jail... nickname... one armed bandit
They're always so brave going in and boo hooing like babies as they run out. I like the ones where they'll knock each other down trying to get out the door at the same time. 😀
