Walgreens Customer Shoots armed Robber & saves lives.

[Glock21]

Is anyone else confused by the wording of the story?

"A man who had a permit to carry a gun saw the robber point the weapon at the clerk and pulled out his handgun and shot the suspect multiple times, police said. The robber stumbled out of the store and collapsed.


The wounded robber was taken to Creighton University Medical Center, where he later died.


The man, Harry J. McCullough, was cited because he didn't have a permit that allowed him to carry the gun concealed."

Who was cited for what?

God guys 1 bad guys 0, hopefully they caught the other turd

They did, indeed. In fact, it sounds like the armed citizen managed to do that, also. Dropped one, caught one... a good job by any standard!

I get a real kick from the fact that it looks like they cited the armed robber for carrying without a permit before he died... that'll learn him LOL.

The man, Harry J. McCullough, was cited because he didn't have a permit that allowed him to carry the gun concealed.

The second robbery suspect was detained until police arrived. The 17-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of robbery and use of a weapon to commit a felony.

I'm very confused, it seems to me the PD cited the good guy for carrying concealed with out the proper permit, but earlier in the story it reads he had a permit. I'm lost, does Nebraska have 2 different type of permits?

There's no reason to ensure that the bad guy is killed.

save tax dollars?

(possibly sarcasm, possibly not)

A permit is required to buy a handgun in Nebraska. A separate CCW is required to carry any weapon that is completely concealed. Open carry is legal. This is a synopsis from Nebraska Administrative Code.Title 272, Chapter 21

Here is a link to the code http://www.nsp.state.ne.us/Docs/Forms/CCW_Rules_and_Regs.pdf

And a link to Nebraska Firearms Owners Association explaining their laws. Legislation

what scares me about situations like this is what if the woman behind the robber is a gun hating person.. and even just one fragment of the bullet, or the whole bullet goes through the robber and hits her? she sues you and wins because you shot her, you go to jail for shooting her etc.. normal people arent allowed the same collateral damage that LEOs are..

If criminals thought the probability was high that they would encounter a store full of people with guns in the holsters and purses, then this kind of crime would cease to happen. How often have you heard of a gun shop being robbed?!

Actually these places were burglerized, a robbery is when they go into a place when people are there.

I would hate to have to take take the life of a criminal. But I would hate worse the guilt of having done nothing while a criminal takes an innocent persons life.

this. I pray taht I am never in this situation, but I also pray that if I am, I have the Grace to act well.

A co-worker of mine suggested that each time you have a legitimate intervention such as this one, the armed citizen should receive $100k tax free. Interesting concept. . . . .of course you would have to have some limitations like perhaps no more than 5/year. Any thoughts?

hmmm

robbers shot and killed at least one of dons employees in the old greenwood store. its been a while ago so im not sure of the details now.

 

[paperboy]

The store should give the guy a $5000 gift card to the gun shop of his choice!!!!!!!

It seems that IMPD thinks the armed citizen is capable of deterring crime. I recently heard a news story that IMPD was requiring convicted burglers to attend a meeting where they played tapes of 911 calls in which yo could hear the BG being shot by the resident. I guess they thought it would convince them to find another line of work. Too bad the police won't release such statements to the papers.
