No way any news article goes with anything but "Conceal Carry Guy Shoots Unarmed Father of 7" when in fact it was a dead beat dad trying to rob you so he and his friends can go get stoned from one of the 50 weed shops within a block of that Burger King.
I'm really glad that this one didn't end up that way. Unfortunately, had he shot the scumbag, I'm sure the story would have been something along those lines. Kudos for having the control to not shoot the scumbag for the threat, but if he really did have a gun in his pocket, would it have been too late to do anything if he shot first? Tough decision to make on whether to shoot or not, and in this case the right decision was not to shoot and wait for the police to arrest him.
