According to police, the Padovas Pizza Delivery driver was delivering a pizza when two men armed with shotguns approached him, in the 3000 block of Hatfield Dr., at about 11:45 p.m. Monday.
The driver, who was licensed to carry a gun, told the men to stay away from him. When the men continued to approach the driver, he shot at them. One of the alleged would-be robbers was found a short distance away, on Rutledge Drive, with wounds to his face, chest and thigh.

(1,299 posts)We've been told umpteen times that if a dirtbag already has a weapon trained on you that if you attempt to draw your own, you will only get shot.
All kidding aside, good for the pizza delivery driver, he saw a threat, he warned the 2 dirtbags, they didn't heed the warning, he drew his legally carried gun and shot in self defense.
Bottom line, if you don't want to get shot committing crimes, don't commit crimes. Seems simple enough to me.

(1,076 posts)and one that isn't mentioned in the story is that even though the pizza guy was licensed to carry a gun he will probably be fired. Many if not all employers forbid employees from carrying a gun while working. I drove a cab for some time after retiring from the AF and they told us not to carry. All of the drivers carried anyway but if you got caught or had to shoot someone they would fire you. I hope this isn't the case but it is often true. I'll have to keep an eye out for a followup story.
