"When a strong man armed keepeth his castle . . .

... his goods are in peace."

Place: Palms Internet Cafe, Florida.

When: Last Friday

What: Two men wielding firearms enter and point the guns at the patrons, initiating a robbery attempt.

Outcome: An old guy packing heat goes all Wyatt Earp on them.

Result: No robbery, two robbers wounded and apprehended, no one else hurt.

Let's go to the video:



My only comment is that the victim who fought back seems to have used a very small-caliber pistol. Of course the video is very indistinct for noticing fine detail, but the defender's pistol strikes me as something along the lines of a Walther PPK or similar. Not much hitting power there. The gunmen were able to flee because neither was struck severely enough to be incapacitated. That also means that had they had a backbone, they could have fired back instead of running. Since one had a shotgun and the other a larger-caliber pistol (probably 9mm) that outcome could have been very different.

I am impressed with old fellow's form though. He took the time to aim rather than merely point and used good stance also. Not firing range perfect, but obviously, this guy was in control of his faculties.
