Father Defends Children from Armed Thug at Popeyes

Unless these stories go viral, you rarely ever get to read articles like this.

There are so many anti-gun social-justice warriors in America, you can’t even shake a stick at them even if you wanted to. They all tend to lose their minds when firearms are used, no matter what they’re used for. If responsible Americans go to the gun range, liberals want to shut down the gun range because they can’t understand how we want to protect ourselves and our families.

Carlos Molina was enjoying a meal with his family at a Popeyes chain restaurant when a would-be robber, 19-year-old Andrews Herrera, approached Molina with a gun, demanding money.

According to Fox San Antonio:

Investigators said Herrera first approached Carlos Molina, 32, who was eating with his family and demanded his property at gunpoint. Molina said he had no money because he used it to buy the meal, then asked if the thief would let his family go.

Herrera then turned toward the counter, pointed the gun and yelled at the manager to stop running.
As Molina’s family walked out of the restaurant, police said two more family members walked out of the restroom and the suspect pointed the gun at them.

The story continues: “Molina then quickly pulled his gun out and shot Herrera several times, killing him. Officers said Molina is a licensed handgun owner and they believe he shot in defense of a third person.”

As a father of three, this would have been my reaction. I only have three kids. If you choose to act with violence toward them, all bets are off.

Anti-gun Americans need to read stories like this because it can happen to anyone. There’s no calling a police officer when this happens. They are not fast enough. There’s no crying your way out it because you don’t know the mindset of the robber.
