Score one for the good guys.

A recent attempted bank robbery in Warren, Michigan was put to a stop by a 63-year-old autoworker with a concealed carry license.

The suspect, whose name was not released, was rushed by firefighters to St. John Hospital & Medical Center. He was reported to be in serious condition, but the injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.

Gun Rights Exercised By This Civilian

Mayor Jim Fouts said the gunman pointed his weapon at the 63-year-old, who was simply defending himself.

“It’s his Second Amendment right,” Fouts said.

“I’m glad to see that more people are carrying guns,” witness Gary Guyette told Fox 2. “And the bad guys think twice before they do something bad – and take care of business.”

It may be off-topic but the advantages of gun ownership go far beyond fighting off or taking down a robber. Take self-defense for instance, an issue that should never be taken for granted. What would you do if you had an armed attacker and you did not know the first thing about martial arts? Having a firearm would definitely give you an opportunity to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Gun control would oppose our gun rights. With the right attitude and training, having a gun can in fact be a good thing for everyone. No matter how polarizing gun control can be, it becomes immaterial when you are caught in a tight spot.
