Not a bad story. Would have been better if the guys condition was DOA instead of serious

That depends... think how painful it would be to have to listen to "you're in here because you couldn't beat an old man" every day for 20 years.

This story is clearly lies, fabricated by the NRA. Good guys with guns never save lives. Guns are only capable of killing innocent children.
