It appears that there is plenty of lead to go around this week

Victim Shoots And Kills Robbery Suspect

quote:
Orange County Sheriff’s Deputies said two men with a sawed off shot gun tried to rob a man at a car wash on Orange Blossom trail Friday night. The suspects didn’t bet on the victim pulling out his own gun and shooting.

One of the suspects was hit in the chest. He was rushed to the hospital, where he later died. Investigators said the victim had a concealed weapons permit.

At the risk of being redundant, I once again challenge Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, and Orange County Mayor Richard T Crotty (as I have in past articles) to publicly recognize any law abiding citizen who deals with violent criminals while in the process of protecting themselves and others against a crime in progress according to the legally accepted protocol.

This may not be relevant to this particular incident, but it is winter time in New York, and I have noticed many who have come to Florida to get out of the cold. It was reported in the news media last week that the vehicle used in an armed robbery was believed to have New York tags, so it appears that some of those who have come here of the criminal element, are thinking that Florida is a place that is easy pickings when it comes to armed robbery. You see, New York is a city that has been unarmed by the bureaucracy, so citizens cannot carry a firearm due to the Sullivan Law. When you roll up on someone in NYC, they have no choice but to be a victim, but here in Florida, people still have the right to bear arms and more importantly, the right to defend themselves. As you can see by my recent reporting, people who are tired of all of the robbery, have exchanged their cash for lead, and are willing to give it freely to the violent criminals as they turn the tables on them and cancel their careers permanently. I see a trend developing here in Orange County of law abiding citizens exercising their right to discharge rounds in self defense. If this escalates, the over crowding of jails and return of repeat violent offenders will soon be eliminated through attrition. The next time a criminal thinks about committing a robbery where they may only get $20 or $30 dollars they might want to weigh this against what their life is worth.
