…for bad guys.
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 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.
I don’t really buy into the whole Sheepdog philosophy of carrying. If you don’t think carrying a gun is important enough for you to do it, I don’t plan to be your hero when you need help.
However, I still give this guy credit for doing what he did. We can only hope that some day the surveillance footage will be released to the public so that we can all point and laugh at Dante Williams.
