Next time the anti gunners talk about the gunshot victims in hospital emergency rooms, ask them how many of those are the bad guy being shot by a law abiding gunowner....

Victim Turns Tables, Shoots Armed Robber

TAMPA - Two bullet wounds led investigators to a man suspected of
attempting to rob another man at gunpoint Sunday, officials said.
About 5 a.m., Michael Perdue, 35, returned home to his duplex on 58th
Street and a masked gunman forced him inside, the Hillsborough County
Sheriff's Office said. Once inside his home, Perdue got his own handgun
and shot the man three times, forcing him to flee, officials said.

Hours later, the East Pasco Medical Center in Zephyrhills contacted
authorities about Albert Lee Jones, 25, a patient with gunshot wounds in
his shoulder and side. Hillsborough sheriff's detectives determined
Jones was the man who tried to rob Perdue and charged him with
aggravated battery, attempted armed robbery and armed burglary, the
sheriff's office said.

Jones, of 2900 University Square Drive, Tampa, was being held at the
Pasco County Jail late Sunday, records show. Bail had not been set.

Good news, most of the time stories like this never get much air time.

That is excellent news. If that would have happened here in good old Fayettenam, the law-abiding victim would have been cast as the bad guy, even if the cops never charged him with anything.

Yay liberal media.

I wonder how he was able to get his own handgun once inside the house. Does anybody know how he accomplished this without getting shot by the robber?
