Or has this criminal been removed from the game? What would be the cost to you if you were the next target of opportunity for this criminal? What if he decided to put a round through you or someone you love?? Is it lost on you liberals that the criminal was armed?? he is an effing criminal & he was not obeying ANY laws!! Let your heart bleed for the criminals, that will work for you until a criminal leaves you or someone you care about bleeding and/or dead. [/quote] Logic fail. Has he been removed? No, probably not. Criminals don't get 'baptized by fire' If anything, the criminal is taught to not play nice next time. It is MORE likely now that if he chooses to rob again that he will be more careful, use more force, maybe shoot first. You say: [b][b][b]he was not obeying ANY laws!![/b][/b][/b] Besides this being weak hyperbole, the FACT is he WAS OBEYING MANY LAWS, such as 'thou shalt not kill' re the bible and also a LAW. He robbed the guy, didn't kill, or even shoot anyone...EVEN THOUGH HE HAD A GUN. Even after he was shot he didn't shoot back when he could have. [b][color=red]He was there to rob someone, that's it.[/color] [/b] Like I said earlier, If I had a gun, I probably would do the same thing. I don't blame the dad, but the article does not prove or show that having a gun protected the dad, and really shows the opposite. He was robbed, his family was already put in danger, and by firing at a fleeing robber he put himself at more risk. [/quote] Oh, in that case, it's all good. He was only trying to rob someone...He was only trying to force someone else to give him their belongings at gun point. [/quote] argument FAIL. nobody said it was 'all good'. Take your straw man and go f**k it up the A**. [/quote] You tried to justify his crime in your argument against guns. Why is it OK that the robber had a gun? Your whole argument is that the gun didn't help the victim, did it help the robber? [/quote] argument fail. I never tried to justify anything. My 2 points were: 1. This article does not show having a gun protected the dad 2. It did show that by firing at the robber that it increased the risk to the dad and family. Jane whatever said that the criminal wasn't obeying ANY laws. In response, I said that the FACTS show that he obeyed many laws and was there to rob someone, not kill them. I never said the act was justified, good, or all right, just that that was what the robber was there doing. It was a response to a ridiculous statement. [/quote]

A Columbus man said that he fought back when a man tried to rob him at gunpoint in west Columbus Monday night.
Kelby Smith, 34, told police he was in the driveway of the home on Crescent Drive just before 9 p.m. when he was approached by a robber.
Smith said that he had his 2-month-old in a car carrier and had to shield him from the robber who held a gun at Smith's head.
The suspect took Smith's money and started to flee the scene as he pointed the gun back at Smith and his child.
That's when Smith pulled out his own gun and fired at the robber.
The robber continued to run, but police said that a man fitting his description arrived at Mount Carmel West a short time later with a gunshot wound.
