Sheriff defends man who shot armed robber at SC Waffle House

Via Michael, L&P

It’s “another example of how a (concealed weapons permit) may save your life,” stated Spartanburg County Sheriff, Chuck Wright, after a concealed-carrier took down an armed robber and prevented another in a Waffle House full of customers. GoUpstate.com reports,

Sheriff Chuck Wright said he does not plan to charge the customer, who he says is “very upset” about the shooting.

During a news conference Saturday night, Wright said even after the masked men entered the restaurant, the concealed weapons holder waited until the robbers began ordering customers to the floor and employees into the back – while waving a gun – to act. After pulling his .45-caliber Glock, the customer ordered the men to stay put until deputies arrived. Only after Williams pointed his Hi-Point 9mm at the man, did the customer fire, Wright said.

“The way you get shot by a concealed weapons permit holder is you point a gun at him,” the sheriff said.

    My wife texted me today saying she thought that this line was was her favorite in the report. I guess she paid attention in her concealed carry class.
