An important thing to notice: From the video it was apparent that the assailant INSTANTLY stopped shooting and turned and ran AS SOON AS he realized his planned victim was armed and going to shoot. I've seen this in ALL such live videos I've watched. Conclusion: merely brandishing a gun is HIGHLY effective at ending a criminal encounter. The old refrain of "They will take your gun and use it on you" is CLEARLY disproved from all these videos.
Obviously, the bad guy was using full metal jacket rounds and thats why the store owner lived. It passed right through him. And thats why I carry hollow points.
Yes they are legal. The cops all carry them and any citizen who keeps a gun for self defense should be using hollowpoints as well. The have much more stopping power than ball rounds.
It's amazing how store owners are allowed to protect themselves inside their own stores while our soldiers can't even protect themselves inside their own military bases.
These kinds of incidences are the best and most effect form of crime prevention. If every victim could fight back the predators would try to avoid violent confrontations. Unfortunately some people have been denied the right to self-defense.
I've been saying that for 8 1/2 years now. the way to make flights safer isn't to take away everyone's steak knives, but to give EVERYone on the plane a steak knife!
God the talking heads are worthless. There's a man in a red hat? Really? Thanks that really adds value to the raw video. And why was she standing on a sidewalk for that report? Did it add anything to the prerecorded video she was droning over? I can go stand out on a sidewalk and read details from google news, but i'm not a hot woman, so I guess she has that on me.
Why can't the monkeys just go back to their cage?

New York should be "Right to Carry" Law abiding citizens should be armed!

Are those legal in the US? Or just in some states? You're not "allowed" to use them in a war.

How can this crime happened? With all the great gun laws in New York.

I wish the store owner had an AK with a 75rd drum to spray those degenerate thieves.......

I just wish the bad guy was a chalk mark, not an inmate.

A gun in your pocket keeps the bad guys at bay.

Crime will climb and it will take people like him to help fight back from these thugs, not the police.

Self defense is a good deterrent, but we will need changes in parenting and schooling to make a difference in the long run.
