Wow. I thought we were only allowed to intervene in a Violent Felony. i ALSO wasn't aware that we could discharge our weapons within city limits without being in fear of Death/Serious injury. Shooting to defending/recover property? Wow. I'm not upset or anything, I just didn't know I/we was allowed to do that.
I figure this was OC appropriate, seeing as how it sounds like they were "Openly Running" with their guns in the open. lolz. Wow..

Concealed weapons permit holder stops would-be robbers June 17th, 2009 @ 1:26pm MIDVALE -
- A man with a concealed weapons permit stopped two would-be Midvale robbers from making off with his friend's stuff. Police say the men were coming home from an errand around 7:00 this morning when they spotted the suspects with their things. The suspects took off on foot. One of the men being robbed grabbed a gun from his truck and started after them.
Midvale Police Detective Sgt. John Salazar said, "Grabs a loaded 40 caliber handgun and chases with the gun, shooting rounds either into the air or into the ground as they were chasing." The gunfire stopped the suspects dead in their tracks. The men held the robbers at gunpoint until police arrived and arrested them.
No one was hurt.
