What happens when 20 would-be robbers attempt to have their way with a jewelry store’s inventory?
Well, even in that home of gun control, California, some things are still legal, and those things are the very actions that unnerve criminals.
That’s right, even in California, you’re allowed to do certain things when a mob tries to overwhelm you and rob you of everything that you’ve worked for.
I’m sure that Gavin Newsom is none too pleased with this outcome. Dave Urbanski writes,
It was around closing time Thursday at a jewelry store in Anaheim, California, when the store owner told KTTV-TV five cars pulled up to the front of the store.
Indeed, security camera video shows over 20 individuals quickly exiting vehicles and gathering at the entrance of Al-Amira Jewelry, the station reported.
It appears to be a coordinated operation, as video shows the similarly dressed crew trying to break into the store; they use pickaxes and sledgehammers to smash the door, KTTV said.
Suddenly, though, video shows the entire gang turning tail and running back into the cars — scattering in unison as if their lives depended on it.
Well, it turns out that their lives were very much at stake.
That’s because the store owner fired at the would-be robbers, KTTV said.
One shot did the trick. It was just one shot that caused a mob of twenty would-be robbers to go running for their lives.
And this is what anti-2A zealots don’t get: many (maybe most) defensive uses of a firearm involve no one being shot or injured. But that defensive gun use almost certainly saved a person from grievous bodily injury or death.
That’s one reason that pro-2A activists insist that gun control is evil and should never be passed: it keeps law-abiding people from being able to effective defend themselves. Even if it can be done without anyone actually getting hurt. And that’s the best anyone can hope for.
