FOXNEWS.COM: Robber quickly loses upper hand when concealed carry permit holder turns the tables

A man who tried to rob another man at gunpoint outside a Michigan liquor store was shot in the chest by a concealed carry permit holder and eventually arrested.

Police in Detroit, Michigan, say that they responded to a call of gunshots last month and found a victim with his hands raised over his head who told them he had a concealed pistol license, Fox 2 Detroit reported.

The victim told police that a man with a ski mask and a Detroit Lions jacket had followed him and his friend into a liquor store and then back outside before pulling a gun on them.

The suspect is said to have pulled out a gun and threatened to kill the concealed carry holder's friend unless the concealed carry holder turned over his wallet.

The concealed carry holder then pulled out a gun as he was being patted down by the suspect and shot him in the chest.

The suspect, later identified as Joshua Fordham, was later found on the ground nearby by police suffering from a gunshot wound.

Click 2 Detroit reported that Fordham pleaded guilty in March 2014 to armed robbery and was sentenced to 5 to 15 years in prison.

Fordham is not legally allowed to own a gun and is facing a charge for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The Detroit Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Para, Sorry about that, I forgot to include it, though I could have sworn I did.

Yet this is not the type of guy that is on the DimWits radar when crying about Gun Control.

Looks like the Feds have charged him now.

To the best of my knowledge, this story received ZERO coverage by the news media in Detroit, printed or broadcast.


Best regards,

Why does he only have 1 gunshot? At patting down distance that should've resulted in firing multiple rounds and then reevaluating.

I'd preferred to have seen a slab-top cooling-down view with a magazine-load of holes all over that smug fizzog.

Back a few years in Northern Ireland, I recall a post-mortem view of one particular gentleman of the PIRA who had gotten the wrong side of four or five of our boys armed with MP5Ks. From the number of closed-up three-round bursts he'd bravely intercepted with his torso he had the appearance of a man wearing a leopard-print T-shirt.

Not room temp? It's a dang shame.

On the positive side, the shooter doesn't have to live with having to take a life and the POS will spend more time in prison as a 2nd time offender. Plus, think of the razzing he's going to get from his bro's in lockup.
