Crooks enter liquor store and start shooting. Problem is, store owner and clerk are licensed to carry. Oops.

Mike Hamad, owner of Mike's Liquors in Houston, told KPRC-TV he's kept a shotgun on hand at his establishment just in case — but he's never needed it in 20 years.
"I knew it would happen one day," Hamad told the station.

Indeed, that day came around closing time Wednesday night when two men entered the store and opened fire.
"He said, 'Everybody on the ground.' And when the customer laid down, he started shooting — about five or six bullets," Hamad told KPRC.

The crooks weren't the only ones with guns

Hamad — who's licensed to carry a handgun, the Houston Chronicle reported — grabbed his shotgun and started shooting.
Hamad traded gunfire with 17-year-old Akeivyon McMillan, the paper said, adding that Hamad said a bullet narrowly missed his shoulder. But one of Hamad's shots hit McMillan in the torso, the Chronicle added, and the teen escaped empty handed. McMillan was soon caught and charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, police told the paper.

"He didn't [take] money, no liquor, nothing," Hamad added to the paper. "But bullets everywhere, 'tak, tak, tak, tak, tak'."

Another suspect isn't so lucky

An employee at Hamad's store — who has a concealed handgun permit — also opened fire on the suspects and killed one of them, an unnamed 35-year-old who died at the scene, police told the Chronicle.
The paper said Hamad and the other clerk weren't charged pending a determination by a grand jury.
"I feel good," Hamad told the paper. "We expect this to happen around Christmas, not these days."

  1. The employee gets a 10 score, the owner gets a 7.

  2. But, but, but, the criminals were unfairly trapped in a prejudicial situation in which they were forced to fire upon the capitalist pig shop keepers. The perps were undoubtedly in an unfair situation because they had not had time to properly train on their weapons prior to the altercation. The 2nd Amendment should be repealed and replaced by AOCs Green Raw Deal which will ensure this kind of terrible tragedy will never happen again.

  4. The democrats will ruin their lives for protecting themselves and costng the state money.
    Their business will be shut down for attracting violense. And they will not be able to vote.
    They will have their gun permits revoked.
    And if they are not rainbow types they are really screwed.
