Trucker shot during Detroit delivery

Quote:
The driver of an 18-wheeler was shot in the buttocks overnight after armed gunmen tried to rob him on Detroit's west side

The Detroit trucker had parked to make a delivery at John R and 7 mile just before 2 a.m. when he was approached, according to the Detroit Police.

He ran and was shot, then ran to Detroit Police Department's 12th Precinct on 7 Mile just west of Woodward Avenue.

The robbers ran away without getting anything, police said.

The man is expected to fully recover.

Greed isnt wanting to keep what you've worked for or acquired legally. Greed is instead the desire to take from someone else and give it to someone who didnt earn it.

It isnt about being a tuff guy that shrugs off death,its about confidence in knowing whats right and whats wrong and defending such.

Again, another good case for reciprocity for concealed carry laws.
