After watching that news clip, I gotta say, I like Gary Nelson. Why can't all reporters be like him? He didn't call the dirtbags "alleged robbers" or "victims", he called them thugs and told the truth. They will kill you for your wallet.

+1 to the victor (I refuse to consider him a victim) and ditto on the forthright reporter.

We many never know but would they have picked him if he was OC?

IMHOP, I say yes because they were bent on murder not robbery, but then again they ran as soon as he pulled and fired back.


If he OC he may have been able to get to his weapon quicker.

Good job for fighting back. If they ever catch these guys I think they should have to pay for all hospital bills.

And yet another good reason to carry around the house.

Glad he wasn't at work or Sams Club would have him disarmed for safety.:cuss:

Since they ran off when they found out he wasn'ta sheeple, I can
infer that they would have fled sooner if they saw him OC'ing. Or at
least call 911 and report MWAG so he would be disarmed for later.:banghead::banghead:

+1 for the reporter, you just don't hear reporters 'tell it like it is' anymore.

Congrats to the dad for fighting back and surviving to raise his children. To think some scum sucking maggots would kill a guy for 20 bucks and leave his children fatherless just makes my blood boil. I hope he got a few hits on them.
