Wheelchair-Bound Storeowner Stops Two Robbers With His Gun

A would-be robber at a 7-Eleven in Florida splashed hot coffee on an employee, who stopped the robbery with a gun. Crooks in three different robbery attempts got more than they bargained for when they ran into gun-wielding citizens. All three demonstrate what gun rights supporters call the “equalizing” power of firearms. In the first incident, the owner of a jewelry store in Alcoa, Tennessee, shot one of two suspects attempting to rob his store, according to the news station WBIR. The Alcoa Police Department said the two suspects entered the store, and while one asked about merchandise, another jumped behind the counter and ran into a back room. Both suspects tried to leave with some money, but the owner shot one of them with his handgun. Authorities arrived on the scene and arrested both suspects. Bobby Love, general manager of Bullpen bar next door to the jewelry store, told the TV station the jewelry store owner uses a wheelchair and is a nice man. “But, at the same time, he has a wife and kids that he wants to make it home to,” Love said.

Alcoa Police Department Detective Kris Sanders had a word of caution to any would-be robbers looking for an easy stick-up. “Everybody has a gun permit nowadays,” Sanders told the station. “So, I don’t think it’s safe to assume you’re going to go into a business where there’s not a weapon.” In another attempted robbery in another part of the country, 20-year-old Tajuan Boyd tried to hold up a pizza delivery driver in the Detroit suburb of Redford around 11 p.m.
