Gunman dies from shame of shopping at Dollar General and gunshot wound, but mostly from gunshot wound

Yeah, I stole that style of headline from Ace, but it fits. Thanks to Rationality Rebooted, via Hot Air, we get this story from the Selma (Ala.) Times Journal about a shooting at a Dollar General store in Selma. Apparently, a guy walked in with a pistol, waving it in the air, and was herding everybody in the store into an employee break room in the back of the store. One customer had a bad feeling about the way things were headed, and we all know it pays to take advantage of those feelings:

 Anyway, taking advantage of the handgun on his person that his concealed carry permit allowed him to legally carry, he shot the fucker who was threatening everybody in the store:

The incident occurred when Dallas County resident Kevin Mclaughlin entered Dollar General reportedly waving a pistol in the air, Huffman said. Mclaughlin then ushered a group of people inside the store into a break room.
“It appears that once the cashier got inside the break room, a customer that was walking into the break room shot the individual, the white male, with the pistol,” Huffman said. “There was only one shot fired and that shot struck the individual with the pistol causing the disturbance.”
District Attorney Michael Jackson confirmed the customer who reportedly shot Mclaughlin was Orrville resident Marlo Ellis.

No charges filed, the sherriff calls it a clear case of self-defense and local officials call Ellis a hero. Sounds good to me. One shot, bad guy dead, nobody else hurt. And libs will tell you there is no legitimate reason to have a firearm. Oh, except for hunting with rifles or shotguns, as long as they aren't those scary assault rifles.

This is what we like to call "gun control." One shot, bad guy dead, nobody else hurt. Kinda like the Mark Chesnutt song, "Bubba Shot the Jukebox," in which the aforementioned Bubba, heartbroken from a failed relationship, shot the jukebox when a sad song came on. He got arrested, but disputed the charge:

"Reckless discharge of a gun," That's what the officers are claimin'.
Bubba hollered out, "Reckless, hell, I hit just where I was aiming."

Yes, the video says Joe Diffie, and it's the kind of song Diffie did, but this is Mark Chesnutt. I'm not even sure Diffie ever recorded this. And the guy who got shot was no jukebox, so I don't want to sound insensitive. On the other hand, it's not like the jukebox had it coming.  So fuck him.
