Where are all the "Guns are bad, Mmmkay..." comments at?
Pizza guy, you failed to exercise proper gun control... you only hit the thief with 3 out of the 5 rounds you shot at him. Further, you shot him with a wimpy .38 revolver. On the other hand, you did stop an armed gunman from robbing and possibly shooting/killing yourself. Big time KUDOS, Pizza Guy. But get a bigger caliper weapon!!! Something with a .4x on the front end that has more bullets in it. That way he won't run away and won't be robbing anyone else... ever.

hey grouchy john! a 12 ga.pump gun takes out the guess work!(horse shoes,hand grenades AND shot guns!!)
NO PRISONERS!!he's gonna get fired but at least he ain't shot to doll rags!!
old tenn. proverb.:"tried by 12 or carried by 6" i'll take the 12 option!!
The suspect was part of the "Occupy Bushes Movement", and was hungry. That rich pizza delivery guy should have spread the pizza wealth.
