Looked to me like a pawn shop. Looked like Glock cases on the middle shelf, pistols below that, but like a week eater near the top of the screen.

regardless of the store, I love the fact that the owner/employee did not hesitate. Would love to see what wasn't on the camera - holster work or under the counter pistol. It looked a little Hollywood with perp being blown back, but I assume the momentum of reversing direction when said pistol was presented caused him to fall backwards more so than the bullet entering his body. Impressive knock down power - I assume that was a solid center of mass or brain hit. The Perp dropped like a sack of potatoes - total yard sale with a little head bounce off the floor.

Sells Glocks; carries a 1911! Probably a 45 ACP! Maybe the "OLD GUY" knows something.
Because I care, I carry.

I wondered about the bad guy's quick collapse. The video can be slowed down to a frame-by-frame ultra-slow speed. His head reacts by falling forward as he falls back, so I don't think he got hit in the head or throat. I think his appearing to get blown back was merely his instantaneous collapse as he moved back. By the time he hit the floor he was done.. got hit in the central nervous system somewhere; dropped both guns as he hit the floor. The silver haired dude appears to know his stuff.

Looks like the owner ducked down to be partially concealed, and while Two-Gun Badass is looking at the guy with his hands up, the owner is firing from low enough that the display counter gets shattered.

There is nothing more dangerous than an old man with a gun. They've taken all the bull**** they're going to for one lifetime, and prison would be a free retirement home. :P

Maybe he doesn't know about .50 GI? :P

Such actions have consequences. One would be robber learned this the hard way, if only briefly.

If that was Dixie Gun and Pawn, I have shopped there before I moved up here. I did not recognize it from the video, but as I said, it was quite a while back.

I like the fact they stopped the SOB's

If you follow the link and watch silver hair's news interview, you'll see that the 2 gun thug fired first. I suspect that is the cause of the glass gun case shattering.

Regardless, almost certainly a center mass spinal cord hit. The way he fell and his left arm GOING limp shows there's no muscle reflexes left. Also, as his head hits the floor, something black seems to fly off of his head (in addition to the 2 pistols from his hands). Can anyone figure out what it is? The video was hypnotic, but after watching it for 10 minutes straight, still can't figure out what it was.

Just his stocking cap, I suspect.

Wonder if the perp's name was 'Frasier'?
