I read something recently that said that movies are filled with criminal masterminds, since in real life criminals seem to be a little less than Mensa members.

This, however, takes the cake:

Two armed men chose the wrong place to attempt a robbery Monday morning, when an employee at the Cobb County gun shop confronted them and shot one dead at the scene, Cobb County police said. The two men entered Dixie Gun and Pawn at 11 a.m. and attempted to rob the business. A store employee happened to be armed and exchanged gunfire with the men, striking one of them. The robbery suspect died at the scene, police said. The other suspect fled on foot. Police said Monday afternoon they have no information about him. The worker was not injured and the case remains under investigation.

Now, I am deeply saddened that a life ended in this way.  But who in their right minds assumes that gun store workers will not be armed?

Here’s what happened – warning, graphic:

Again, this is a ridiculous loss of life. But it’s important to share these videos because our the 2nd amendment is not about hunting.

A big part of self-governance is being able to protect yourself and your family from people (and yes, even governments) who try to hurt you.
