I saw this story and thought of the poor lefities who fear gun owners having a handgun (like Obama) who think they will shoot and ask questions later. Here’s a guy who used his gun wisely, if he didn’t have a gun, this might have ended differently:

Being a lousy shot might well have saved Marshall Hugo Grant’s life.
After Grant fired three times Monday from the doorway of the King IGA grocery store, manager Marino Hernandez made a split-second decision not to fire back.

“I was afraid he was going to keep shooting, but I already had in mind that he wasn’t a good shooter,” Hernandez said Tuesday.
Grant, 73, appeared Tuesday morning before Judge Nancy Perez, who ordered him held without bond while he undergoes a psychiatric examination.
Grant was a daily customer who’d never been a problem, said Hernandez, who manages the large supermarket at 1000 36th St.
On Monday afternoon, Grant and Hernandez argued after he tried to enter the store through the exit.
“I said, ‘You know what? Take your business elsewhere,'” Hernandez said.
Grant then drew a handgun. Assistant manager Roberto Espinal, behind a side counter, drew his gun. When Grant turned that way, Hernandez pulled his gun.
