Bank President Stops Robbery With Gun

In yet another story hoplophobic, gun-grabbing, anti-Second-Amendment "Liberals" hate and refuse to admit exists, a bank president in Troy, MO used his gun to thwart the robbery of his bank.
After all, it says right on the door that concealed weapons are allowed in the bank. They’re practically encouraged by the sign: “Management recognizes the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as an unalienable right of all citizens.”
Contrast that with all the "no weapons allowed" (i.e., "unarmed victims inside") signs most businesses post.
So when the robber walked out of the bank a short time later with a red bank bag full of cash, maybe he shouldn’t have been surprised that bank president David W. Thompson followed him out to the parking lot. Thompson watched the masked robber get in a Ford pickup parked in a handicapped spot up front, then pulled his Colt .380 handgun and pointed it at the man.

“Sir, get out of the truck,” Thompson, 58, recalled demanding. “You’re not going anywhere.”
And when the man put his hand in his jacket pocket, as if he had a weapon, Thompson scolded him again.
“You don’t want to go there,” Thompson said. “This will end badly.”

Fortunately the robber listened. It turned out the man had no weapon of his own. Thompson and another bank official who also carries his own weapon pulled the man from the truck and held him at gunpoint until police arrived.
Every human being has the right to defend him/herself and others.  Those who are able, have a moral (though not legal) obligation to do so.  Guns are the most effective means by which an ordinary person can defend him/herself and/or others.

Those who want to ban guns, desire to disarm ordinary people and leave them defenseless, thereby violating their God-given right to self defence.
