Tuesday morning feel good stories

The owner of a gas station in Tulsa, Oklahoma got tired of dealing with a fellow who was causing fights at the business, so the owner shot him. He’s expected to recover. The business owner’s wife says that while the man was destroying property outside of the store (the owner locked him out of the store), she called the police twice and got a recording both times. That’s when the owner shot the fellow through the window of the business.

In Harris County, Texas, an inebriated sot sought to win back an ex-girlfriend by going to the wrong apartment and assaulting the wrong person. That wrong person shot the sot in the abdomen. The sheriff’s deputies charged the sot and told reporters that the resident was within his rights.

In another Waffle House encounter, this one in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a fellow came in the business brandishing what is being described as an AK-47 and he demanded money. A customer confronted him and took the rifle away from him and the thief un-assed the AO at a high rate of speed and he’s still running. Thanks to Chief Tango for that link.

A homeowner in Wichita, Kansas, heard noises in his garage and found two burglars, one of whom was pointing a gun at him. The resident fired several shots at the men, scaring them so badly that they dropped their gun while un-assing the AO. It doesn’t look like he struck either of the targets, who are still on the run. Another article says that the thieves shot at the homeowner first – they also missed. It must be a magic garage.

A church maintenance worker in Tampa, Florida caught a fellow that had broke into the church earlier. He was hiding in the bushes outside the church. The worker had a concealed weapon permit and held the burglar until police arrived.

In Mandeville, Louisiana, Shawn Breland was being verbally abusive to a convenience store clerk. The clerk asked him to leave and he did so two or three times. Finally, he threw a bag of potato chips at the clerk and stormed out of the store. A customer followed him to get a license plate number. Breland saw the customer and what he was doing and began to assault the man, even though the customer was openly carrying a handgun. The man tried unsuccessfully to escape from Breland, finally shooting him when Breland tried to take his handgun. Breland was DOT (dead over there) at the hospital.
