Saw that story last night on the news.

I'm sure they were good boys just looking for a ride to church.

No tears here other than for the taxpayers that will need to foot the punk's medical bills.

Carroll Park is a swamp of crime & gangs

If more got popped, the less they would carjack. Imagine what the three of them would have done if the victim didn't have a gun.

The interview I saw with is mother earlier made my head hurt.

Good shoot!

Now here comes the security blanket gun owners.....But, but, but, the retired cop shot someone over property? He could have de-esclated or drove away!

He could have just bought the Navy Seal Atomic Spetsnaz Ninja Flashlight from the 3AM infomercial for $8.99 plus S&H and shined that on them to immediately neutralize the threat and cause them to surrender to police. He could have even gotten a second one free if he just paid shipping.

Look, it works!

Many years ago, there were a LOT of car jackings in MD.

This continued, until one evening some idiots tried to carjack an FBI agent. He shot them. It made front page news, and suddenly, there were a lot less car jackings.

Even the police are saying that they had a problem not long ago and it all stopped when they arrested a bunch of them. But the SA either dropped charges, fd up their cases, or offered them plea deals. Now they are back out and amazingly it started back up again. The police appear to be pointing right at Mosby as the problem.

This is why I am glad my Jeep has the millennial anti-theft feature otherwise know as stick shift.

A quick read of the article tells me the only reason this article was published is to push the agenda of the Toygun ban bill again.

Didn't the bill pass already? Why push it more?

A bit more info was put online today than was released in last nights news

It was a group of 3 and one of them opened the door to the car of 73 year old gentleman alone and used this replica weapon.

Given this man is one of Baltimore's Blue own I cant see them allowing any type of spin to make this into "ex-cop shoots kid"

It kind of reminds me of the pirates off Somalia. After a few of them went to the bottom of the ocean and the cargo ships got armed ... we don't hear about Somali pirates so much anymore.

Funny how that is. Kill a bunch of bad guys doing bad things and they stop doing bad things to folks with lots of guns, trained to kill bad guys.

And as soon as I see that blade he gets two to the body and ones to the head. My Uncle Sam taught me that!

Indeed, the best of all anti-theft devices. However, I doubt the assailants even got so far as to figure that out. They saw a guy sitting in a car and made their move.

This is a perfect example to highlight the importance of citizens' right to carry. This is not a toy gun issue.

Arrest is a last resort? Wtf is this nonsense?

Good on the man for protecting his life and property.

Yep...I said OK to shoot to protect property.
Guess I'm shallow or whatever.
If someone has that little respect for themselves, others and the property of others than they are a threat and have waved rights to be afforded law abiding citizens.
