So, two men come into a Coney Island (that's a local Detroit term, means Greek-style Diner) brandishing guns and immediately shoot the store owner. No demand for money, nothing, just BANG. A customer, who is legally armed, shoots the bad guy dead, and is in turn shot by the bad guy's shotgun-wielding accomplice.
So. For those who fear legally-armed citizens, what would have happened if the armed citizen had NOT been armed? It seems clear that the intent of the gunmen was to kill; for what reason would you believe they would not have simply continued shooting everyone in the store, one by one?
I don't really expect a reply from the anti-gunners. They always go silent when they read these kinds of stories, because it blows up their myths about law-abiding gun owners.
Suspect fatally shot during Coney Island robbery in Detroit

DETROIT (WJBK) -- A customer turns vigilante during an armed robbery at a Coney Island in Detroit. One suspect is dead. The other is on the run.
"He just (came) and put the gun in my face and he (shot) me. He never asked me anything. He never asked me for money," said Adi Avdolli. "He just pulled the trigger."
It happened in an instant. The owner of Adi's Coney Island on Michigan Avenue on the city's southwest side says Wednesday night two masked men ran into his restaurant demanding money. The suspect standing at the register shot him in the shoulder. That's when a customer, who happened to be a CPL holder, pulled out his weapon and fired back. At the same time, another suspect standing guard by the door fired off his shotgun grazing the armed customer in the shoulder.
"I wanted to save his life and my life and those other people that (were) in here, as well. There (were) about six people in here and we all could've been dead," said the 51-year-old regular customer, who fired off a total of eight rounds killing one suspect.
