"Wild West Shooting?"
What it actually was, is one customer started shooting and the store clerk decided not to kill him because he was a "lousy shot. Meanwhile, Drudge headlined it, "Managers, customer all (all?) draw guns in West Palm Beach grocery..." leading to the thought that the liberals were right. But they weren't. It was the same thing that could have happened anywhere in the country, but because the clerk had a "license to carry," the "crazy" didn't kill anyone and because the clerk thought fast, even the attacker was not killed. Completely different from the picture painted by the headlines. This was NOT a "wild west shooting." It was ONE man shooting at a clerk, who decided since he was a lousy shot he (the shooter) was not dangerous and so did not kill him. Proof Again, that more legal guns in the hands of honest people can reduce crime.But these headlines put me in mind of a movie I once saw where two gunmen went into a bar to hold it up. Turns out it was a "cop bar" and soon they were surrounded with cocked guns. Funniest thing I've ever seen. (Palm Beach Post)
