TN: The Way a CCW Works

Read the whole thing.

--> Roy Exum: The Way It Works

A 60-year-old man who lives in Antioch, which is actually in south Nashville, arrived home about 9:30 p.m. Saturday night and, as he talked to a friend in his car, two younger men approached the automobile where they sat. One, who is 17, had a handgun in his hand while another, age 19, stood nearby with a shotgun.

There is no doubt they intended to rob the driver of the car, but the 60-year-old immediately drew his own 38-caliber handgun and shot his 17-year-old assailant in a clear act of self-defense. The younger teenager was shot in the chest, but ran in terror.

The older would-be robber... grabbed the wounded kid and they roared away... going to a nearby convenience store to request assistance after saying they had just been the victims of a crime.

But the 60-year-old shooter had already called police and, with a witness present, told the officers what had really happened. He showed the police his valid “handgun carry permit,” which has since been credited for saving the older man’s life...
...

Good people have the right to defend themselves, to protect their families and to live without fear. Say what you will, but that’s better than reading where some 60-year-old from south Nashville is dead because he didn’t have any other choice.

That's a great story that you will never see on the nightly news.

Sad thing is, you are right. But it is good to read.
