Trucker fatally shot during hold-up

Police tell us the man was unloading fuel from a tanker truck into the tanks at a gas station on the North Freeway and West Gulf Bank late last night. A man walked up to him and demanded his money.
Investigators say the trucker pulled out some cash and got into a struggle with the robber. That's when the robber shot him several times and killed him.
The trucker's girlfriend witnessed the shooting. The gunman got away. http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?se...cal&id=6193457

This is why I carry. He likely was working for a company with a 'no weapons' policy and was a prime target. I fortunately do not work for a company like that and if it had me me, the thief would have been gut shot with .357 magnum. This is real life here and all the folks up in d.c. don't seem to care that it is mine and your lives they are playing with by infringing on our unalienable second amendment rights. The police were only able to take a report here, they can't protect you. It is time to stand up against the brady bunch and defend ourselves.

BTW, All the laws and 'reasonable regulations' in the world are not going to stop a criminal from purchasing, possessing or using a firearm to commit yet one more crime. The only thing these laws and regulations accomplish is to make more victims. Do YOU want to be a victim, if not, act now to prevent this tragedy from happening to you.

Agreed.

It's gonna get even worse the more jobs that go overseas and the more third world people are allowed into our country to drive down wages and provide cheap labor to the corporations; as well as them helping cause fuel and food prices to go up. To me all immigration should have stoped during the Reagan presidency. In stead he did just the opposite. He signed Amnesty and symbloicly destroyed labor in america. It has never been the same since.

All of this has caused the problems we have now, high oil prices, high food prices, low paying jobs, resources being sold over seas.

I'm a second career retired paramedic, 33 years on the street, and turned cold toward idiots wanting what is not theirs and the consequences of our government refusing to hold them accountable for their crimes. My butt is my butt and by God, my butt will match the idiots round for round. I've seen too many tears shed by victims families and dripped entirely too much sweat on those victms in the back of an ambulance to have any feelings what-so-ever for the politicians who, how was it phrased, appeased'? Go ahead idiot, stick yer soon to be mush head up here with intentions of taking what ain't yours. After all--it's my world too!
