jwjw1 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 AP) SPARTANBURG, SC ? Authorities say a customer at a South Carolina Waffle shop pulled a gun and shot one of two men trying to rob the restaurant. The Greenville News reports (http://grnol.co/AkoQDk ) that the shooting took place early Saturday morning inside a Waffle Shop off Interstate 85 in Spartanburg County. Coroner Rusty Clevenger identified the dead man as 19-year-old Dante Lamont Williams of Roebuck, who was shot in the head and body. Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright declined to identity the customer, citing concerns for his safety. Authorities said the customer had a concealed weapon permit and tried to hold the two men at gunpoint until officers arrived, but that one suspect began to point his gun at the customer, who then fired shots. The second robber fled and is being sought by authorities. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501363_162-57363435/customer-shoots-robbery-suspect-at-sc-waffle-shop/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well be trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Justified it is. In most all states you have the right to defend others and to perform a citizens arrest. I've done a few myself. This is all a matter of state law since they act like semi-autonomous nations under our Federalist system. The only state without concealed carry is Illinois, and citizens arrest is legal everywhere but South Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
