Schadenfreude: enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others
Nothing pleases me more than reading stories about bad people who get what’s coming to them. Here’s a story that demonstrates the benefits of a concealed carry law.
Detroit Free Press
Man with unloaded gun killed by victim
A robbery and crime spree aided by an unloaded gun came to a halt late Thursday when the gunman met more than his match: a gun with bullets.
Charles Parker Jr., 18, of Detroit was killed when a 53-year-old man pulled out a 9mm handgun and shot the teen, who was armed with an unloaded .22-caliber handgun.
…police said, the robbers saw a man at a Detroit car wash and tried to carjack him. The one approached with the unloaded gun and the other wielded a baseball bat, police said. That’s when the man washing his car fired…
…After the shooting, police questioned the 53-year-old man and released him, noting that he had a valid concealed weapons permit.
Then they gave him back his gun.
Detroit police are calling it self-defense.
As Instapundit noted, don’t bring an unloaded gun to a gunfight!
