A good guy with a gun who was shopping in a Philadelphia corner store reacted as you’d expect to an armed duo who were waving a gun around threatening people as they tried to carry out a robbery just after high noon on Wednesday. The concealed carrier was waiting for an order when one of the two armed robbers pistol whipped him.
When the man who struck him then handed his gun to an accomplice, the concealed carry licensee drew his own gun and shot the man who attacked him twice, center mass. The accomplice didn’t wait around for to see if he could help his partner in crime.
The wounded criminal later assumed room temperature at a local hospital.
From Fox29 . . .
Authorities say a suspected armed robber was shot and killed by a customer at a North Philadelphia corner store Wednesday afternoon.
Officers from the Philadelphia Police Department were called to the 1400 block of Master Street around noon for reports of a shooting.Β
A police source told FOX 29’s Jennifer Joyce that two young men wearing masks entered the store and approached a … 23-year-old man [sic] waiting for a food order. One of the robbers hit the man in the head with the gun and a struggle began.
The robber handed the gun to his accomplice at which point law enforcement sources said the customer shot the armed robber twice in the abdomen. The customer is licensed to carry a firearm, according to police sources.
There’s one thing that stops bad guys (and gals) with evil in their hearts — that’s a good guy with a gun.
Of course, Philadelphia residents aren’t stupid (though you wouldn’t know it based on their recent voting habits). Applications for carry licenses are up 600% there this year, due to the rampant violent crime that afflicts the city thanks to their “progressive” State’s Attorney Larry Krasner. He’s taken it upon himself to inflict his own brand of “criminal justice reform” upon the city’s residents.
Just last week, another man pulled what appeared to be a gun in a robbery attempt at a Philly Dollar General store . . .
The 36-year-old walked in wearing all black and approached the cashier demanding that she open the register. Investigators say the cashier then signaled to the manager what was happening. …
The manager, who has a license to carry, then took out a gun and shot the suspect in the head.
It seems that, given a defunded police department and a prosecutor with little interest in prosecuting accused criminals who prey on law-abiding citizens, an increasing number of Philadelphians have taken the job of “reimagining law enforcement” upon themselves.
![By Larry Keane President Joe Biden traveled to New York City for a media event to try and show America heβs doing something about rampant crime. Instead, he blamed the Second Amendment and lawful gun owners, said nothing about holding criminals to account and repeated the same tired lies about the firearm industry he keeps at the ready β lies βfact-checkedβ as being false each time heβs previously recited them. It makes no difference to the president. Heβs not even trying anymore. To President Biden and national gun control groups the problem is always the gun and the law-abiding members of the industry. Itβs never the criminal. Blaming the βResistanceβ President Biden was joined by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams for a βGun Violence Strategies Partnershipβ meeting to talk about how to solve the crime surge, particularly those involving firearms. Instead of real solutions, the focus devolved into blaming law-abiding gun owners and again pushing a gun control agenda. βEnough is enough,β President Biden said. βBecause we know we can do things about this, but for the resistance, weβre getting from some sectors of the government and the Congress and the state legislatures, and the organizational structures out there.β That βresistanceβ the president spoke of is the American people. Over the past two years theyβve become fed up with police defunding policies and soft-on-crime prosecutors, like Manhattanβs Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Theyβve invested in their own safety. The βresistanceβ is the 21 million lawful gun buyers in 2020, including more than 8.4 million first-time buyers, and the 18.5 million gun buyers in 2021, with more than 5.4 million first-timers. The βresistanceβ has backstopped Congress from passing federal gun control that donβt address crime. It also stopped President Bidenβs nominations of paid gun control lobbyist David Chipman to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and banking activist Saule Omarova as Comptroller of the Currency because not even all U.S. Senate Democrats could support them. They would have turned those agencies into bludgeons to hammer the firearm industry to achieve a special interest, gun control agenda. Favorite Falsehoods The president turned his aim from lawful gun owners towards the firearm industry and repeated a lie heβs rehearsed several times before. βImagine had we had a liabilβ¦ [sic] theyβre the only industry in America that is exempted from being able to be sued by the public. Only one,β the president protested. βWhy the gun manufacturers?β¦ Itβs got to end. Theyβve got to be held responsible for the things they do that are irresponsible.β He repeated the claim for emphasis. βAnd I find that outrageous.β This is flatly false. The president knows by now, or his speechwriters do and they donβt bother with the facts. CNN, Politicfact and Washington Post have all checked President Biden on his remark, including after he said it in the White House Rose Garden. CNN cleanly rebuked it. βThis is false. Gun manufacturers are not entirely exempt from being sued, nor are they only industry with some liability protections.β Politifact rated it βfalse.β Washington Post wasnβt kinder, saying, βBiden is wrong to claim the gun industry is totally immune.β The firearm industry has liability protections under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), bipartisan legislation enacted under former President George W. Bush. The firearm industry cannot be held liable when unaffiliated third-parties, in this case criminals, misuse a legal, lawfully sold product. Itβs fundamental tort law and is similar to an individual attempting to hold Ford and Budweiser responsible for drunk driving deaths. The law was passed in direct response to lawsuits filed against the industry by control groups and municipalities like the city of New York and the state of New York. These type of lawsuit continue to be filed, now even by foreign governments represented by the same gun control group, the Brady Center. Colonial-Era Error President Biden continued to ignore facts on the Second Amendment and its history. He even erred when speaking about the Revolution-era days and why the right to keep and bear arms was so sacrosanct. βWhen the amendment was passed, it didnβt say anybody could own a gun and any kind of gun and any kind of weapon,β President Biden remarked. βYou couldnβt buy a cannon, and when β the β when this, uh, this amendment was passed.β It did, and does, say the right of the People βshall not be infringed.β Even The Washington Post was brutal in their assignment of βFour Pinocchioβsβ to this statement. βBiden has already been fact-checked on this claim β and itβs been deemed false. We have no idea where he conjured up this notion about a ban on cannon ownership in the early days of the Republic, but he needs to stop making this claim.β In fact, the Constitution of early America β before the Bill of Rights, and Second Amendment, was even ratified β granted and encouraged βspecial waiversβ to American merchants and sailors, βallowing private individuals to act as pirates on behalf of the United States against countries engaged in war with it.β Americans given waivers and who owned warships obviously also obtained cannons for use in battle. In fact, it is still perfectly legal to buy a cannon today. It is the presidentsβ fundamental misunderstanding and blatant lying about the Second Amendment that informs his gun control agenda and misguided approach to solving the crime problem. Millions of law-abiding Americans took ownership of their Second Amendment rights to protect themselves, understanding the president wonβt. Instead of mangling the meaning of the right and pushing for more gun control on law-abiding Americans, the president should keep it simple. Take on the criminals and punish them for breaking the law.](https://cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/download-26-218x150.jpeg "Harris is a Human Disinformation Campaign When It Comes to Guns")
“Authorities say a suspected armed robber was shot and killed”
And there is doubt as to his intentions when he pistol whipped a customer????
C’mon, man!
SouthernShooter,
Kudos on your Biden reference.
For the benefit of readers who are not aware, both the police and news sources have an ethical obligation to use the term “suspected” or “alleged”. While it is most likely that the person who has a concealed carry license and no criminal record is a victim of the person with a criminal record, there is a non-trivial probability that the “victim” is actually the attacker and the “attacker” is actually the victim.
Until a jury of our peers convicts the “attacker”, we cannot say with certainty that the “attacker” is really the attacker in that incident.
Uh huh.
Or maybe it’s just stupid Leftist news being leftist.
Funny how a jury wasn’t needed to call Trump a traitor for Russia,Russia, Russia.
But hey good to know that John Wilkes Booth is still only a suspect.

The Streets of Killapelphia …
Since no names or descriptions were provided.
I’m going to go out on a limb here, the perps were the “usual suspects”?
Do you by chance mean black street thugs? Looks like these good boys, great students both tried to rob the wrong guy.
and other demon-rat utopias across the fruited plain. the 13% commit over 50% of the crime. No red flags for them, only black BLM signs
CCWs in Philadelphia are doing something better than the sanitation department, police and the court system in taking out the trash.
And the anti-guners will add all the self-defense shootings to their list of gun violence victims. Just like all the guns with the serial numbers removed get added to the tally known as ghost guns.
The first time I heard the expression, “Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.”, was on this site. I had seen the phenomenon before. I just didn’t know there was a name for it. Seems the words are as relevant as they ever were.
Don’t know if it originated in Philly but I certainly grew up hearing it as well as seeing it in action. Used to be the cops doing the beating and shooting but whatever works.
Unpossible. Right wing paranoid lies. herr dacian the nazi says that resisting the bad guys will simply get you killed.
And he would never lie to us, would he?
I could care less if the victim had a politically correct CCW. After all…Did the frickin perp have one?
The bad guy had a CCW – Criminal Concealed Weapon.
Felon Firearms License
If you could care less, does that mean you do care?
“care less” (e.g. “I could care less”) literally means you care more than you might seem to. If you could care less, you’re saying that you care some which is the opposite of not caring at all.
it’s supposed to be “COULD’NT CARE LESS”…… But i’m sure that’s jim crow gun control
+1.
Shoulda been +2.
Yep!
Kudos, but the only rational response to living in dacian’s dystopian, proto-fascist, democrat hellhole is to LEAVE.
Liberty wise it beats NY/NJ/MD but taxes and fees in Philly do tend to drive most people out of the city limits where practicable.
I’m wondering whether both of the crooks were wearing “I’m with Stupid” t-shirts.
Sniff, sniff! π’ I love a happy ending! π
This guy β¬οΈ enjoys βhappy endingβ massages down at the local gay bar π€£.
That wasn’t Texican you idiot. I’m surprised you don’t know your mother from behind!
If there’s anyone who knows all about βhappy endingβ massages down at the local gay bar’, it’s the mentally-ill demented troll known as ‘PeeGee 2’, a known liar who claims he has been issued a carry permit issued by the state of New Jersey.
He also lies about being ‘highly educated’, as he refuses to provide the proof to back up that claim.
Poor, bitter, PeeGee2, why not end your misery and go play ‘Frogger’ in traffic?
Please? π

Another stat to add to the FBI’s already steadily growing list of Legally Armed Citizens shooting and killing Criminals. Which continues to show Legally Armed Citizens are outpacing Law Enforcement in the numbers of criminals removed from the gene pool.
A Dollar General manager had a gun? Does he still have his job, or has DG told him he violated some policy of theirs?
He’s a Dollar General not a Dollar Private! Sheesh!
It was a customer who shot the perp after being pistol whipped. Either you didn’t read the article or your comprehension level is at the normal Liberal Democrat sub 2nd grade level.
What you just said….YOU read the whole article.
..it describes a second shooting at another location..if I could just remember where???
Albert Hall cant be wrong, this never happened, fake news.
lol
“high noon”
This is the way things NEED to happen. You want to see an end to the nonsense crime wave? People must stand up and do what needs to be done. You don’t need a license for half the country but I would still recommend it (at this time anyway). Arm yourself, carry it, practice with it, and know it like the back of your hand.
If the bad guy intentionally assaulted an innocent customer it can only be assume he intends to do harm or further harm up to an include killing. The CCW holder resisted successfully, and should have. There was none of this false stuff about “if you don’t resist you will not get hurt”.
Sure, there might be a chance that compliance will result in one not being injured/killed but the odds of that happening are small compared to the likelihood that you will be injured/killed even if you comply. Today’s criminals, overall, are not like that any more with a “if you give me what you want I will not hurt you” concept and overall criminals have not been like that for a longggg time.
According to Kleckβs βPoint Blank: Guns and Violence in Americaβ β the leading authority on the subject of compliance:
1. Any form of resistance, except with firearm, carries with it an injury rate of 52%.
2. Resistance with a firearm carried with it the risk of injury of 17%, but use of a firearm early in an encounter carries with it a risk of injury of 6%.
Overall, in Kleck, you have a minimum of a 25% chance of being injured if you comply, but you are 4 time less likely to be injured if you have your firearm and are prepared to use it.
Take away here summary: compliance may still result in injury (which includes death), resistance without a firearm carries a 52% chance of injury (which includes death), resistance with a firearm lowers chance of injury (which includes death) to 17%, resistance with a firearm early in the encounter further lowers risk of injury (which includes death) to 6%
If you are armed are you willing to gamble that you are not in the 25%?
if you are not armed are you willing to gamble that you are not in the 52%?
Compliance or not, resistance or not β is not a decision one needs to make. The answer is already provided, non-compliance via firearms resistance offers the best chance of less injury. But if you want, you can roll the dice and take the chance of being a good-n-dead witness.
As Kleck continues to be proven correct, even in this article situation, now over ~8,000 times daily across the United States, the nay-sayers and anti-gun advocates continue to cling to their disproven and false outdated (in context with today’s criminals) concept of ‘comply and not get hurt’ like its a sure thing and it isn’t and has not been for a long time.
Do not listen to these nay-sayers and anti-gun advocates, to them you will simply be another statistic and that’s all they can offer you, they can not give you defense if it happens to you. if it happens to you they will not be there to defend you and the only one there to defend you will be you. So upon what are you going to base your chances for your life and that or your family’s lives, the chances the nay-sayers and anti-gun advocates want to force into society with their (in context with today’s criminals) proven to be an outdated and false concept of complying or the proven as given by Kleck?
+100^
This reinforces the latest FBI data that shows Legally Armed Citizens shoot and kill more criminals. Than those shot and killed by Law Enforcement. When seconds determine if you or a loved one. Lives or dies at the hands of a criminal. Law Enforcement is minutes away. Arm Up Carry On and be the one who survives.
Where’s Dacian and his “most likely to kill a member of your family” BS?
Heβs thinking he is being proven right by all this. It is familyβ¦brothas and sistas.

From the article:
“Philadelphia residents arenβt stupid (though you wouldnβt know it based on their recent voting habits)”
After the 2020 election and after the investigations into the voting process in 2020 I’m not sure the majority of voters are that stupid. Voter fraud operatives have been refining how to carry out fraud with the least amount of attention. A good fraud would give just enough votes to the fraudsters’ preferred candidate to win, but without really calling attention to a landslide victory. Unless the corrupt politician really did win a landslide majority.
YEP PROVES BETTER TO HAVE AND NOT NEED THAN TO NEED AND NOT HAVE .
STAY ALERT AND SAFE BEST Y’ALL CAN .
I hope that he doesn’t;t get charged. The “alleged” perp was not holding the gun and therefore was (arguably) not a deadly threat when he was perforated.
Just sayin’
(Rittenhouse SD position couldn’t have been clearer and he was charged and brought to trial.)
