A man defends himself and his property and plugs a lowlife machete waving moron.

Now the poor sod will be put through the wringer for daring to defend himself and with *shock-horror*- a pistol!
He will get off, but what will the cost be?

Too many guns, that's the problem. In this enlightened age there should be no such thing as a "gun shop".
The man with a machete was almost certainly brown which means that he's the real victim here, being forced to rob shops as a result of the savage economic imperialism that left him with lowered self-esteem.
The callous gunshop owner deserves to be dragged through the courts and abused. He was supposed to roll over and cower in fear. After all, the bleeding hearts would have held a *very* nice candle-lit memorial service for him.
Trigger-happy bastard!
I am a bit uncomfortable with the idea of a loaded gun being under the counter of any shop let alone a gun shop so I asked a couple of gun owning mates if it was possible to load a pistol and shoot a machette whelding drongo before said drongo got close enough to take a swing.
The answer was YES.
I don't have a problem with that.
it was a good decision and a good shot in my opinion.
Many pistol shooters compete in action matches, where fast reloading is part of the game.
Anyone with a bit of military service has also had long hours practicing doing just this, also.We used to have to load magazines blindfolded, with the clock ticking.
The nature of a busy gun shop, is that while firearms are secured, there are alway some out being worked on, cleaned or demonstrated to a customer.
Any worker worth his salt can lay his hands on the right ammunition without even looking- that's what they do- this is usually behind the counter, where the staff can get at it.
It takes very little time to tip out a box of cartridges and stuff a couple into a pistol.
Out of curiosity, I would like to know what sort of pistol was used. I'm betting a revolver.
It is hypocritical of the Police to even consider prosecuting him. If it is acceptable for the police to shoot dead a man swinging a golf club, it must be acceptable for someone to wound a man swinging a machete.
Bloody good point Mark- and I completely supported the police for shooting him!
The police and citizens should be on an equal footing when it comes to treatment over matters of self-defense.
As the law actually allows for!
