Don’t rob the Waffle House
That should be the first rule in every potential thief’s handbook. Those Old Boy patrons are serious about their waffles;
Two masked men had entered the restaurant with the intention of robbing it, and at least one of them was armed, authorities said.
A customer, who is a concealed weapons permit holder, thwarted the robbery by pulling his gun and attempting to hold the men until deputies arrived. When one of the men pointed his gun at the customer, the patron fired, killing the teenager.
The teenager, later identified as Dante Lamont Williams, of 827 S. Edisto River Drive, Roebuck, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a written statement from Coroner Rusty Clevenger. Williams had been shot in the head and chest.
Sheriff Chuck Wright said he does not plan to charge the customer, who he says is “very upset” about the shooting.
The thief wouldn’t have been “very upset” if he’d got the first round off, I’m sure.
And if someone with a CCW license pulls his gun out, you have to figure that he has had more training than a common thief so Little Billy Bad Ass was outgunned from the get-go.

Scattered, covered and chunked.
LOL, now that’s what I call good gun control! A .45 Glock will put a pain in day.
After reading the full story, I’m willing to lay odds that the kid was talked into this crap by the other douchebag and all it got him was dead.
Never, ever, EVER disturb a man when he’s eating his “smothered and covered”.
Of course, the only time I’ve ever eaten at a Waffle House is usually between the hours of midnight and 4 am when I’m not really particular about WHAT I’m eating, hence the perfect place.
And you can get them smothered, covered, chunked, diced, peppered, capped, topped, AND country? Where’s the damn potatoes? It’s been too long since I was at a WH, I guess.
But yeah, I don’t think Dante really wanted his capped, but that’s what he got. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
“The way you get shot by a concealed weapons permit holder is you point a gun at him,” the sheriff said.
Best line in the whole story. This is the same sheriff that told women to arm themselves, last Fall, after several attacks at a local park.
Best hash browns on Earth, at the WH…and it does tend to bring out some of the more interesting members of society…late night crowds.
Plus 1 Old Trooper on the Sheriff’s quote…that’s gospel.
And good on the CCW holder…pouring a little more Clorox into the gene pool of our society, and thus providing society a service.
It’s all good…
Double tapped, now that’s what real gun control is. Now, before Joey shows up, lamenting that the poor robber died over property, and they should have talked him into leaving, this point was made in the story, “No customers or employees were injured”.
As for the “more interesting members of society”, try a Denny’s or Steak and Shake after the bars close, same crowds, different restaurants.
Claymore, probably true, but 19 isn’t a kid anymore.
too bad all of our waffle houses are posted that’s why I have not been in one in years
Double Tap, give that man a cigar and lifetime of waffles.
“Williams had been shot in the head and chest.”
Definitely textbook gun control. I hope he got to finish his meal.
I really hate to be bothered while I’M EATING.
I’m sad that a fuctard had to die, but at the same time, I’m glad that everyone that mattered was safe. It’s funny that some places wouldn’t allow weapons in their businesses. I wonder who would have been shot by that kid with the gun just because, if the CCW permit holder weren’t there or if he weren’t legally allowed to carry in the business.
Criminals never follow the law, citizens follow the law.
That happened in my county. To say our sheriff is considered a hero is an understatement. His call for women to get their concealed carry permit is a big hit with some, but we do have the usual, very small, group trying to say he’s just encouraging more killing.
The bad ass (he thought) was 2 hours into his 19th birthday and had no priors. What a waste of life. My oldest grandson, one of sheriff Wrights deputies, had already talked his wife into getting her permit. The little woman shot 215 out of 250, without ever shooting a pistol before.
