An employee who is also a concealed carrier pulled his firearm and shot one of the attackers.The second suspect ran out of the business and was still on the run, according to the sheriffs office. In January Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed an expanded stand-your-ground law that said "a person has no duty to retreat before using force in self-defense, defense of another, or defense of that person's residence if that person is in a place which the person lawfully has a right to be." Accordingly, no charges are expected to be filed against the employee. (foxiness.com and who.com, New Caslisle, Ohio 6/20/21
So you see one doesn't have to be limited on how he or she is going to defend themselves - the crooks had a crowbar and a knife - the good guy had a gun - guess who won - studies indicate that firearms are used more than 2 million times a year for personal protection, and that the presence of a firearm, without a shot being fired, prevents crime in many instances
It's always safer when one can defend themselves
