The AJC reports on a 74-year old store owner, J. C. Adams, who uses a walker. Adams successfully defended himself against three armed thugs by hitting two of them, one fatally, with one shot from his 12 gauge. The story was picked up by the AP, so you've probably heard it before.

Part of what makes the story so heart warming, is that a firearm equalized one 74-year old man with limited mobility, to three young and tough street thugs. The other detail that makes this a great story was Adam's warning to would-be robbers to "Make your own money; quit trying to take mine."

Fellow Atlantan, Neal Boortz doesn't hold back expressing his feelings on the matter:

I love the fact that one predator is dead. Good. He has been removed from society and will never threaten anyone again. The world is better off today without this jerk using perfectly good oxygen molecules. I hope he remained conscious long enough to lay there in a pool of his own blood thinking about things might have turned out for him if he had actually worked for his money.
