Twice in the past week, victims have defended themselves during attempted crimes with gunfire.

In the latest incident, a masked man walked into an Oceanfront 7-Eleven early Tuesday morning, flashed a gun and demanded money, according to a police news release. The clerk, who was working with his son, responded by walking to the register and pulling out his own gun.

When the would-be robber made an aggressive gesture, the clerk fired, striking the man, who fled from the store at 3908 Atlantic Ave., according to the release.

Fantastic!
Yet another story with a happy ending.
Are we seeing a trend here? I certainly hope so.

As an aside: a criminal from a wealthy neighborhood is no less a criminal than one from the ghetto.

Good reaction time, could use a little more range time and perhaps a larger caliber.

I bet other perps will think twice before attempting to rob this particular 7-11.

The clerk should get a .45. Nothing will change your religion faster than staring down the business end of a .45.

Thugs going down in flames across the nation lately. It does seem to be a trend. A popular one I hope!

People are finally waking up and taking responsibility for their own safety, which is a GOOD thing.

If enough of us keep it up, maybe, just maybe in our life time we can "take back the streets".

Or...the bore of a Taurus Judge!

a good outcome, it would have been better if it read shot and killed, saving police time and prison
