The King County Sheriff’s office says a customer in a convenience store shot and killed a man who attacked him and a store clerk with a hatchet.
The office says the 58-year-old clerk at the 7-11 store suffered a minor injury during Sunday morning’s attack. The 60-year-old Seattle customer was not hurt.
Authorities say it happened before 6 a.m. in the Boulevard Park community south of Seattle. The clerk and customer told deputies a man wearing a mask and carrying a hatchet entered the store. The man didn’t say anything before swinging the hatchet at the customer and then the clerk who was behind the counter.
The customer pulled out his pistol and shot the man. The sheriff’s office says the customer has a valid concealed pistol license.
Medics responded but weren’t able to resuscitate the suspect. He was pronounced dead at the scene. He has not been identified.

Good for him. I for one am not interested in hearing about the robbers challenged childhood and how he was a “victim”. He chose to attack innocent people and paid the price. Gun education not gun control.
roger that. For all of us and to HeLL with Hilary and the gun grabbers.
Great job need more

I his to be done maybe the crooks will get wise an stop

AGREED!
And, the first act of the govern mentals, is to see if they can charge the shooter, with a crime; in their violation of the right to bear arms, which, shall not be infringed…. This, defense, validates, the right to bear arms; despite, the local lizards at law, interferences…. WHAT IF, the guy was dead, instead of anticipating, the need to be armed, despite, if, the govern mental, meddlers, of, clearly, delineated, rights..had no policies in place, , for those literate enough to read the Constitution; despite the sworn oath, illiteracies, of the lizards at law, mob, embezzlements of those rights…??? And, where is it written, that a right, must be waived, to be replaced with, a revocable, use permit, sold to you, by the policing for profit, pirates, at law….??? … Snidely…. Edgrrr…
Well said!
Keep the Second Amendment and hand gun education.
This is a good reason why we need a Republican president. With Hillary in the Who she’d abolish the second amendment.
Right we need trump at the head of table ! Go trump
!
Absolutely, not a Republican but a conservative like Ted Cruz!
They’d be dead if a legal weapon was not available
and the perp would have got away with it since there were no live witnesses. i am all for concealed carry, It would be just as well with open carry. But only for those who are vetted to open carry.
Either way, concealed, or open carry, you would have to lug that heavy thing around with you, even sleep with it all the time to keep it away from children, wives, and thieves. Nobody knows which side you are on in a gun fight. They can be confusing situations. Anybody with a gun in their hand might be considered a legitimate target. You could get shot. If you keep it in a Gun safe at home, how will you get to it in a hurry? Dad kept his in a safety deposit box in the bank. When he died, and the safety deposit box was opened, someone had stolen it.
Are you a hot air balloon that got lost ?????
LOL. good one!
What’s an illegal weapon…??? Criminally contrived, codes and, bogus regulations, create, criminals, out of those, who can read and write; not, those illiterati, who, perjure their oath of office….. Snidely….. Edgrrr…
AMEN!
This man is a hero
i suspect that this story will get ZERO CCMSM coverage, as it fits the “stay armed against criminals and crazies” argument alive. Their paradigm is to convince American Idiots that only police and military should have firearms…which is, of course, what the Soviets and ChiComs wanted and got.
This story is a prime example of the fact that NO LAW can defend against armed criminals or crazies. In fact, being confronted with a criminal or crazy, i don’t think that holding up a piece of paper or telling them that what they’re doing is “against the law” will help a freckle atall.
if the story gets coverage in Seattle, that is what counts. To you know where with the communist media!
Should give him a medal. WHEN HILLARY GETS IN NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT PROTECTION.
GO Trump
If the customer had not been armed, it seems likely both customer and patron would now be dead.
Proof that ONE armed person, prevents crime. But Hilary and Bloomberg are too brain dead to understand that. Perhaps they need to experience an incident where they are confronted with a weapon wielding attacker and see what happens.
The problem is that neither one would have that experience since their ‘armed’ body guards would prevent it from happening
To those who want to take our 2nd amendment away; We are citizens who have rights given by the Bill of Rights. Take this away then we will be subjects, subject to the crooked politicians who have their armed bodyguards, subject to the criminals who don’t obey any law and want anarchy, subject to the bullies think they can do what they want to anybody.
David-
A technical point; The Constitution is just a piece of paper. It “gives” nothing; never has, never will. The Bill of Rights was to enumerate just what the F&F considered to be the most important rights, and RESTRICTED government agents from violating them. Our rights preceded the formation of EVERY government, and will long outlast them.
Here’s some proof:
“You have rights antecedent(prior, my note) to all earthly governments: rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the universe.”
— John Adams(1735-1826) Founding Father, 2nd US President
The F&F were clear: our rights come from Our Creator, and governments are instituted among men to secure these rights. Note also that the 9th and 10th reserve any rights not named to us, as well as (ostensibly) preventing oath-takers from trampling on any unnamed Rights, too. They were conditionally granted only SPECIFIC, Named powers – and no more. But they’ve taken as much as they can get away with, which, since the Shrub, has been a LOT.
That said, our Rights are only as good as the honor and integrity of those who swear to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution for the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” When they stop – like they did for Roy Finicum – then we have to defend ourselves or die…or be taken prisoner, which is arguably worse.
Said all that to say this, more concisely:
Our Rights come from our Creator, and no piece of paper. If you believe that your rights come ONLY from a piece of paper, another piece can take them away.
Anyone, who, govern mental izes, tampering, with a Constitutional law, Bill of Rights, mandate, that, they, took an oath to uphold, should be arrested for treason. and, perjury of their oath; having lied through it, to get the job…. Snidely…. ..When do you Sheeple, stand up for your rights; after you let the likes of Chillary, embezzle them, after lying through the oath….???….. Baaaaaa…. …Snidely……Edgrrr…
Obviously, the masked, hatchet man was not expecting a legal carrier on a Sunday morning, especially at 06:00 A.M. !!!
“Hasn´t been named”? Why not?
Is his name being suppressed by the same traitor-system that ordered the murder of Mr. Lavoy Finnicum ?
Was the hatchet-wielder an operative set up by the Washington state traitor system as a distraction from the Finnicum murder?
The phrase, “conspiracy theory” no longer fits any suspected possibilities in such events in the USA. The phrase has been invalid in the U.S. and the Western World since 1980, and the GHWBush-CIA instigated “October Surprise of 1980.”
However, the phrase continues to be used by operatives and agents of the C.I.A. and the israeli MOSSAD, worshippers of the George H. W. Bush, NAZI family, and persons caught up in abuse of the phrase, who automatically repeat it. Current usage of the phrase is typically an attempt to defame persons who reveal the deceit of any of the above-named groups and constituency of the groups. .
..Uh,….Is this an inside Washington State thing? Does anyone know what your are talking about? You obviously have a beef with the Bush family. From my prospective you are the epitome of a conspiracy theorist! Give it a rest!
– you might try reading the article before displaying your love of the NAZI Bush family.
Comments usually make more sense if the blogger has read the article. The event occurred in Seattle. Seattle is the largest city in Washington state. Washington is not Oregon, but there are similarities due to the police murders in Wash. state that have occurred in the last five years.
What is a “prospective” ? Of were you thinking of “perspective” ?
You obviously are a constituent of one of the groups I mentioned previously.
the only problem with open carry is a bad guy is going to shoot you first 2 admendment should be law in all 50 states to carry period open or concealed
fra conn-
The 2nd makes no distinction whatsoever about open carry vs. concealed carry. It simply says “Bear Arms,” so not necessarily firearms, either. Could be swords, long knives, muskets, lasers, or stun-guns, shouldn’t make any difference whatsoever.
Most people labor under the delusion that the Constitution “gives” rights, when nothing could be farther from the Truth; the Constitution was meant to name Rights that sworn agents of the USG could not lawfully trample, period. The 2nd also says “Shall NOT be infringed.” By whom? Again, by sworn agents of the USG.
The relatively recent SCOTUS ruling in Heller v. DC was actually pretty sneaky, in that it attempted to put gun control in the hands of the federal government(or at least, the courts); their prior ruling was all they needed to uphold a Citizen’s right to keep and bear arms, specifically US v Cruikshank, the relevant part of which reads:
“[The Right to Keep and Bear Arms] is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed;… This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government,…”. U.S. v. Cruikshank Et Al. 92 U.S. 542 (1875).
Let that one sink in awhile. The USG cannot lawfully control what it has no right to control, period. It’s not a Right granted by the Constitution!”
The right to defend ourselves – from criminals, crazies, street thugs, or bullies with or without badges – is a right that long preceded the formation of the General Government, and will long outlast it.
an armed law abiding citizen is and always will be the first responder. It took four minutes to kill fourteen people and wounded twenty two. One armed citizen could have reduced the casualties.
This is why we should ban guns. Both the clerk and the customer should have been killed according to Marxist thought.
Let’s have teachers and clearks have guns and carry permits then the a– holes would think twice let’s keep america free and the hell with gun control, when Guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns
And another one bits the dust. Good for the 60 year old.
I’ll bet this dead turd’s a muslim.>
BRAVO!!!
The nice thing about Constitutional Carry is that people who do not care to be armed don’t have to be, and no one will be the wiser unless told otherwise.
