http://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20151103/gage-park/armed-customer-who-killed-robber-called-angel-from-heavenQuote the boy's mother and store owner:
All I know is that someone came in here threatening my sons, and this angel used a gun he was allowed to carry, and he saved them, Cabrales said.
From the owner of a store two doors away:
I dont believe in vigilante justice, but I dont know what would have happened if that guy hadnt been there, Guzman said. I mean, the same thing could just as easily have happened to my store.
From a shop owner down the block, who was robbed a month ago:
I do trust the police, but lately I really havent felt safe here, Vidales said. I never like violence, but in [this] case, I think he did the right thing. Im glad he was there.
And from another nearby business owner:
Seeing that happen right on this block makes me think Id feel much better if I were armed, and if my customers were armed, Cruz said. Now I want to get a concealed carry permit myself.
This is what armed self defence is intended for, folks to be empowered to protect themselves, and loved ones. Stories like this, complete devastate the narrative of the gun control advocate, it is stories like this, that keep gun control advocates sequestered away behind locked forums scared to face the public at large, because there slavish dogma simply cannot compete in the reality of the real world:
Armed self defence WORKS.

Funny but I know a 13 year old girl who can break four ribs with a single kick.
