CA: Armed Robber Shot Dead in Gunfight with Coin-Shop Owner

Bringing you the news the Libtard anti-gun MSM doesn’t want you to hear:

I found it quite humorous that the reporter had to explain that California state law “allows people to use deadly force to protect themselves.” What an odd statement. The use of deadly force to protect oneself is a basic human right. Even Jesus Christ believed in using deadly force to protect your home and family. What? Don’t believe me? Consider the following:

Luke 11:21 - “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.”

And,

Luke 22:36 - ” He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.”

Just what do you think his disciples needed a sword for? It certainly wasn’t just for the fashion statement…

Unfortunately, with all the Libtard anti-gun laws out there, citizens are forced to tip-toe through a myriad of federal, state, and local laws just to exercise this most basic of basic human rights.

Gunman shot dead in heist at coin shop

NORTH PARK — When a coin-shop owner and an employee found themselves looking down the barrel of a robber’s gun yesterday, they fought back with weapons of their own.

The midmorning shootout in the tiny shop on El Cajon Boulevard left the armed robber dead and his uninjured accomplice on the run, police said.
Authorities said Michael Anthony Watkins Jr., 26, of San Diego collapsed on the sidewalk from gunshot wounds to his leg and lower back and died shortly afterward at a hospital.

San Diego police homicide Lt. Terry McManus said that two men went into the Old Coin Shop, near Arizona Street, about 9:15 a.m. and that Watkins confronted the two employees with a gun.

Someone from the business called 911, and officers began heading their way.

Meanwhile, the owner and employee grabbed their weapons, resulting in an exchange of gunfire. Police said it was unclear whether all three fired their guns and how many shots were fired.

Investigators did not release the names of the owner and employee, who were questioned and released. State law allows people to use deadly force to protect themselves.

Officers found Watkins on the pavement near the front door of the shop. McManus said Watkins’ accomplice had moved him outside before fleeing with the gun.

Witnesses said the second robber was seen heading south on Arizona Street, McManus said.

Officers searching the area found clothing and a handgun in an alley behind a building on Hamilton Street near Howard Avenue, McManus said.
Police were looking at an older-model car in the parking lot of the Denny’s restaurant next door that the robbers may have used. Investigators also were checking for any surveillance video from the store or nearby businesses.

Eric Diaz, 37, said he was washing his hands in the restroom at Denny’s when he heard two pops and a big crash, which sounded like glass breaking.

Seconds later, police officers rushed into the restaurant’s restroom looking for the other robber. Diaz said he saw one of the robbers lying motionless on the sidewalk outside.
