BREAKING NEWS: “Game Over” For Game Stop Gunmen

 

Eric Reed is the President and Founder of Gun Rights Across America (GRAA). They have chapters in all 50 states, and a membership of over 200,000 freedom loving Americans. GRAA wholeheartedly believes that the Second Amendment is worth fighting for.

BREAKING NEWS: Earlier this afternoon, the Game Stop in Houston’s NW Harris county at Wallisville and Beltway 8 was subjected to an armed robbery by two men wearing hoodies, and bandanas. It appears that the game is over for the robbers as well.

They were seen loading their vehicles trunk with Xbox’s and video games by a 28 year old Texas Concealed Handgun Holder, as he exited the Quiznos next door. The Texas CHL holder had his handgun on him, and he noticed one of the robbers was holding a gun.

Fearing for his life, he screamed “call the police,” and drew his weapon. A brief exchange of gunfire ensued, and the gunmen expired behind the steering wheel before he could flee. No bystanders were hit, and the only one shot was the armed robber. The second robber was apprehended by police shortly afterwards, as he no longer had a viable getaway vehicle.

Police have just taken the CHL Holder to give his formal statement, and have already stated that no charges will likely be filed.

The neighbor of the 28 year-old CHL Holder said, “This is our neighborhood and I just want to say thank you. My kids go in that game stop, and it could’ve been anyone’s child.”

Better hope no one ever sees his concealed weapon, screams for there life and shoots him.



As controversial as this may be, sometimes American's (some, but not all) are ridiculous. Taking a life is just plain wrong, and thanking somebody for doing so is obscene. What confuses me the most is how religious Texan's can be, yet here they are going against the most basic principles/laws of Christianity.

I am sure the armed robbers fired at him first, and he probably saw that they were robbing the joint.

 

Thank god for American Gun laws! I feel safer already. Especially living near Chicago.

Even when they have a gun and fire on you? You should not shoot their brains out?

My morals are absolute, if somebody decides to make an attempt on my life I will defend myself by non-lethal means, I will NOT however, EVER, take a life. If I did so I would be no better than the person attempting to take my own.

Edit: There is also the small fact that I have never handled a real gun (and never intend to) and wouldn't know where to start shooting somebody's brains out.

FALSE.

If someone had you at gunpoint, you are just going to try to talk your way out? Even if lets say you get his gun and he refuses to back down.

What are the basis of your morals?

Shoot him in the leg?

Taking a life over stealing video games, is fucking hurrendous.

You can capitalise the word all you want, but my morals aren't false and quite frankly for you to suggest so is both disrespectful and rude. If somebody had me at gunpoint, as I said above, I would try and defend myself by non-lethal means, whether that be running, tackling them, or talking my way out. I may not survive the situation, but just because somebody else is willing to do something bad doesn't mean I have the right to do that thing also.

My morals are based upon what I have learned throughout my life so far, and what I have been taught by my peers. I know that killing is wrong even if it means I risk death myself, just as theft is wrong even if it betters my own position in life. There is no point believing something if you lack conviction in that belief. My morals may seem extreme, but what is the point in following any moral code if you don't truly believe it?

Assuming you are a crack shot and can just aim and shoot and hopefully miss the artery that bleeds out in 4 minutes. Good luck. Meanwhile the criminal who gives a shit about no one will be aiming for your heart and head with as many shots as he or she can get off. Since they are criminals, be lucky if they have not stolen some sort of semi automatic weapon as well since they are everywhere now.

You know, in America you do not have to take gun practice daily to own a gun.


How about not screaming, quielty walking back into quiznos and calling the police, while taking the license plate number through the window. 

 

You can defend taking a life over video games all you want tho. You will never convince me its right. Suppose we should just be tankfully the histerical gun owner is a good shot and he didnt shoot an innocent person in the shopping area.



Such a biased article written by a blood-thirsty person.
It seems to me that the guy who is so praised by doing this crap is actually the one putting many lives in danger.
Had he just called the police, I am sure that trained professionals would have handled the situation much better than this moron, who started shooting in a public place.
I wonder what would have happened if that guy, or the other two robber morons had accidentally shot an innocent bystander, perhaps a child. Sure, no bystanders were hurt, but only because of pure luck.

And the fact that no charges will be filed against a person who just killed another person is just sickening. They cshould at least do an investigation to see if that guy fired first, because it's obvious that he intended to shoot somebody, even though his life was never really threatened.

I am glad that I don't live in a country wherenevery moron can own a gun, and decide to start shooting in the shopping center just because he sees somebody stealing an XBox. I am so glad that I live in a free democracy in which I am sure that the person in a car behind me, in the store in front of me, or just a random stranger walkig on the street or swimming at the beach, has no weapons with which he may decide to start shooting all of a sudden because somebody stole a pack of gum.

Sure, gun proponents, please feel free to keep carrying your guns, I am just glad that you cannot carry them overseas. Luckily, all these gun nuts will kill each other one day, and let decent people live their lives withoutfear of gewtting shot in a shopping mall.

I don't believe that was his point.  If a CHL entered a store and the store owner noticed the gun and then used his gun first believing he was going to be robbed who's at fault?

1. you can't know
2. completely irrelevant since this story says that the shooting happened after that guy drew his gun, which means that the robbers felt threatened.

End of story: if that non-criminal civilian didn't have a gun, there would be no reason for a shootout and thus no dead bodies.
