From WABC-TV<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“A man in Queens has been charged after he shot and killed another person who was allegedly trying to rob him, police reported … The 32-year-old was armed with a sharp object and attempted to rob a 65-year-old of money and cigarettes, authorities said. The 65-year-old, identified as Charles Foehner, pulled a sliver handgun and shot him as many as five times … He then called 911, stating he was in a shooting and the gun was in his jacket pocket. He voluntarily surrendered to responding officers. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene and a pen was discovered in his right hand. The 65-year-old was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm, according to a spokesperson for the Queens District Attorney’s Office<\/a>.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The shooting was obviously self-defense, but Foehner didn’t have a license for the handgun so they’re going after him for that.\u00a0 This has happened before and there’s no justification for that.\u00a0 This is how antigun electeds get around the Bruen<\/em> decision<\/a>. Expect much more garbage like this from City prosecutors.<\/p>\n

The internet is not a good place to find legal advice, but one nugget I came across has always stuck with me and should be shared as it applies in this case: Don’t invite The Man into your life.<\/strong><\/p>\n
