Sunday morning feel good stories
In Columbia, South Carolina, two masked and armed men intended to rob a barber shop. When they pulled out their gats, they were shocked to find two cutomers in the crowded shop also had their legal and licensed firearms and they unloaded on the pair. One escaped the maelstrom, but collapsed on the sidewalk outside. he was DOT (dead over there) at the hospital. His partner escaped completely. None of the victims in the shop were injured.
In Ashland, Ohio, Burt Leasure caught two men trying to steal his stuff. He held the pair at gun point until police arrived. Almost a year ago, Burt foiled another burglary with his shotgun when he shot out the tires of a fleeing pair of thieves from his property.

“Put all the aftershave in the bag now!”
Bang, bang, bang!
If they would have watched some old Westerns, they would have known what could happen at a barbershop…
Whew! That was a close shave! (is it too obvious a comment?) lol
…The Columbia incident happened just a few miles down the road from me; and people can say what they will about South Carolina but the attitude here is very quiet and direct: a bad man did something stupid and paid for it. No protests, no demands for gun control/confiscation. Just people going about their lawful business and using the incident as a teaching moment.

Too bad, so sad
Sucks to be you
Pulled guns in shop
Shot then and dropped

I have to admit I remember some of those jingles….and Hopalong Cassidy.
I think Cassidy was that Irish cowboy that always wore black. 😉
Meanwhile … across town …
Good Samaritan fatally shot by man he was trying to help in Catawba County
A Claremont man was in the Catawba County Jail on Saturday charged with murder after he allegedly fatally shot a good Samaritan who was trying to help him after his car spun out on an icy road in the Bandys community, Sheriff Coy Reid said.
The car driven by Marvin Jacob Lee, 27, of Claremont in northeastern Catawba County, was stuck off Mathis Church Road when a passing truck with three men stopped to help about 5:20 p.m. Friday, Reid said.
Nearby neighbors came to help, too.
But when Lee allegedly became belligerant, the Samaritans decided to call police to come help him. “They thought he was drunk or on dope and said ‘let’s just call the law and let them deal with it,’ ” Reid said.
As they called, Lee took out an automatic pistol and started shooting. The Samaritans ran. A bullet struck the victim, who fell. Reid said Lee walked to the man, stood over him and shot him “numerous times.” Reid identified the victim as Jefferson Heavner, 26, of Newton.
Lee returned to his car, as deputies arrived. They shouted for him to get out. When he didn’t, they called a SWAT team, which pulled their armored truck up to Lee’s car. “They saw that he was passed out,” Reid said.
SWAT members physically pulled Lee from his car. He awoke as they struggled to pull him out and tried to resist, Reid said.

A kill’s a kill
But this kill was one of the good guys getting killed.
I am hoping that the prison sentence for Marvin is long and miserable.
yep
Long and miserable, being the pass-around bitch in the harem of Bubba, Thor, Tiny and Dr Julio.
I hope he learns to enjoy cockmeat sammiches with extra manmeat mayo.
“Automatic pistol”? REALLY???
91A seems to know as much about guns as the reporter who penned that article.
91A either left out or didn’t bother to investigate further to find this gem, “Lee, who was under the influence, shot and killed Jefferson Heavner”.

Ya know, I have to wonder if 91A10 here even knows he just undercut his own argument. Had one of those innocents been armed and carrying (like the two barbershop customers referenced above), the incident may well have ended with the low-life criminal being carted away to the morgue vice an innocent.
My guess is that he still hasn’t figured that part out. Or the fact that criminals and crazies don’t really give a sh!t about following gun laws – and ignore them.
Two men went to a barbershop
Not to get a little off the top
They wanted some cash
And wanted to dash
Instead one them was shot
