Hamilton store owner: I am not scared

Hamilton store owner: I am not scared

The Hamilton store owner who shot and killed a man suspected of trying to rob him was back at his store by 10:30 a.m. today.

...

"I am doing good. I am not scared. My family is OK," said Gueddari, 36.

...

About a half hour before closing Saturday night, Gueddari said a man, now identified as Irvin, walked into the store. He wore a black scarf over the lower portion of his face and pulled a gun.
He pointed it at Gueddari's wife, who was behind the counter, and wordlessly motioned for her to open the cash register.

...

To protect his business and his family, Gueddari said he came toward the register with a gun he carries at all times.

at least if you're armed you may have a fighting chance.




Stay safe and carry on my friends...and as always remain progressive on the 2A.

in the manner it should be? To defend the life of an innocent? According to some that is an impossibility. They would claim you wouldn't have time to bring yours into position or the criminal would certainly over power you and turn your own weapon against you.
