Pistol vs. Cell Phone


iconHere's a story that would upset most gun grabbers. The North Jersey Media Group reports:

It was after Andrew Greene left the gay bar in Philadelphia that he heard the guys behind him.

They were drunk and carrying metal pipes. When Greene got to his car, one of them shouted, "Hey, faggot."

Greene pulled his gun. The men ran.

GFWs at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership would rather see Greene beaten up and brutalized than defend his own life with a firearm. Andrew did the wrong thing. He was supposed to allow himself to be a victim, and let the police do their job by investigating his murder. He should protect himself with a cell phone rather than a firearm. That's what Defense Attorney Ronald Gross did, when he came to the aid of a woman being battered by Raymond Johnson.
Johnson reached inside the left breast of his jacket with his right hand and pulled out a handgun, waving it in Gross' direction.

"It looked like a semi-automatic and he was asking me, 'You the big man? You the big man?'" Gross said.

Gross said he ducked behind his car and pulled out his cell phone to call 911.

"I was on one knee and he was yelling in my ear," Gross said. "Then he took my phone and hit me. Or he hit me and took my phone. I really don't remember. I started yelling for someone to call 911."

Luckily for Gross, he was in such close proximity to the courthouse that police were on the scene within seconds and able to save his life. Johnson was not so lucky, and got 3-6. (bullets in his chest) Had Gross been further away, we can only guess what would have happened. My guess is that it would have involved peeing himself and begging for mercy.

From the second article: "'And you’ve got to wonder — if you’ve got a (pellet) gun, why would you pull it on two trained officers?' Gross asked."

Ooh ooh, call on me!

You're too stupid to live?

I didn't know that they made "semiautomatic" pellet guns...
