It’s in the Bronx. I expect better of the Bronx. But: Police are investigating an attempted robbery that left a suspect fatally shot by a bodega owner. According to the NYPD, 43rd Precinct police responded to a call of a robbery in progress inside of 1260 Morrison Avenue on Sunday, October 21 at 10:32 p.m. Upon entering J Market, police officers discovered Daniel Meeks, a 32-year-old Soundview resident, unconscious and unresponsive after sustaining a sunshot wound to his head. EMS responded to the scene and transported Meeks to Jacobi Hospital where he was pronounced deceased. Meeks allegedly entered the store and demanded cash from the owner before jumping over the counter. The owner allegedly produced a .357 Magnum revolver and shot Meeks. The investigation is ongoing and is being treated as a case of self-defense.
Never piss off Mama Bear:
A mother of three in South Carolina said she used her firearm to protect her family when a stranger tried to enter her house.
Ashley Jones told FOX Carolina she heard someone banging on the door of her home in Anderson County around 6 a.m. Thursday.
She looked out the window and didn’t see anyone, so she asked who was there. No one answered her, but she heard people speaking in front of the house. Next, Jones said she called 911 and grabbed her gun.
As she walked downstairs with the gun, she said she saw a strange man in a red shirt knocking on her window by the front door.
Jones said she was initially hesitant to be a gun owner and hoped she never had to use it. She took steps to train with the firearm and taught her children to avoid it. But after the events that unfolded Thursday morning, Jones said she is glad to be a gun owner.
And finally, in vino veritas:
Abilene police said an intoxicated man was hit in the head with his gun after he was disarmed by his potential victim at a south-side hotel.
The 38-year-old man from Oklahoma and a 19-year-old man got into a verbal argument in a parking lot in the 3400 block of South Clack Street about 11:15 p.m. As the victim was getting into his vehicle, the suspect charged him. The victim told the suspect to back off because he had a gun in the vehicle, police said.
The suspect went to his hotel room to retrieve a gun and returned to the parking lot, where he pointed the gun at the 19-year-old, police said. The victim took the gun from the suspect and hit him with it on the ear, police said.
During his arrest for public intoxication, the suspect admitted to be drunk and making bad choices, police said.
Must be something in the water in Abilene, TX. Thanks to AW1Ed for supplying the stores.

Opening Day in Texas! Good luck deer hunters!
NY opens on 17 Nov….can’t wait!!
Any info anywhere on how guns and hunting are regarded outside the confines of NYC? I’d be very, very interested in doing something with that.
Seems there’s three types of people when it comes to hunting, Ex. Hunters, non-hunters, and Eco-wackos.
Hunters are of course enthusiastic, and their dollars for licenses go to helping maintain herds at a manageable levels and helping the ecology stay in balance. They also provide meat that is low fat and untouched by antibiotics and preservatives.
Most non-hunters don’t care one way or the other, with a few exceptions. I’m not a hunter, but a good pal is, and for years we’ve had an agreement- he kills, I cook. Win-win.
Eco-wackos don’t seem to understand what the meatloaf they had for dinner started as, and actually try to disrupt lawful hunters in search of their prey. They do more harm than any perceived good. Look up The Sierra Club and the like for more.
There are any number of magazines on line for hunters and outdoorsmen, and they’ll have articles on the same topics.
Disclaimer- this is based on my observations, I have no doubt there are others out there. So post ’em up and help a sister out.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says there were 15,400,000 plus hunting licenses sold in 2017. I’d say that hunting and guns are doing OK.
One DOT, one WOT and one dumbass pistol whipped with their own weapon. Not a bad start to a Saturday.
Meeks just inherited some earth.
Getting buffaloed by your own gun, priceless!!
That bodega owner wasn’t screwing around! A man who understands the importance of stopping power 🙂
The mom got off one shot, hit the home invader and is now “glad she owns a gun”
Welcome to the club!
Teach those kids how to use it when they are old enough.
You won’t always be home.!
I trust my kids to shoot whoever neeess shooting when I am not home
