Cell phone store employees chase robbers into another parking lot (Fiesta store), here is where it gets odd. He shoots the robber in the back, then attempts to load him in his car to take him back to the cell phone store.

Obviously the first shooting is ok. Not sure about the second one.

Police may have to begin passing out flyers to the store owner's so they understand the rules on shooting BG's, otherwise they might become endangered in Houston.

LOL about passing out flyers. Yeah, that second one stinks to high hell. Everybody knows part of your EDC kit should be a stick of chalk so you can mark the ground before moving the body.

Postman, homeowner works late, so he was sleeping at 10 am when there was a loud knock at the door. He got his gun and shot the intruder in the chest.

Intruder wanted to use his cell phone to talk to his girlfriend as he must of thought he was dieing, but instead life flight saved his sorry life.

He was on parole.

The postman is someone I knew at my karate school from 20+ years back. Was a ferocious tournament fighter in the day. Apparently he is seriously shaken up by the incident.
I'll quit carrying a gun when they make murder and armed robbery illegal
