From the brief description in the article it doesn't sound like the cops were all too shocked. Be interesting when they release more details.

I thought it was interesting that he was not even arrested.

Channel 5 reported this evening that he voluntarily turned his firearm over to police for investigation and they stated that they didn't plan to file charges. However, the County Attorney could always do so.

I just found it shocking that all local media actually had this story and included that the good guy, legally permitted, won. Although the red star did seem to make the point that the permit holder turned a robbery into a killing. Maybe they reported it because they realized 1 in 19 Minnesotans has a permit now and they are recognizing the market potential....

Based on the alleged story behind the fight...I'd think he'd likely want that back as soon as possible.

Making armed robbery an unsafe occupation is what carry is for.

Am surprised it made it on the news. You usually don't see these kind of stories. Only the bad ones showing why we shouldn't have a permit to carry.

I didn't catch the "alleged story behind the fight" - is there a source for that?

I did hear something on the TV news about a kid with a cash box in the street crying which prompted the permitted individual to come out (to aid his son with the cash box?). I didn't really follow the whole thing the way it was reported at that time.

I haven't previously heard either of those two stories.

Everything has been a reposting of an ?AP? story....
