Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

He's lucky that didn't happen in Palm Beach County.  They would have arrested him for firing shots at the robbers while they were fleeing.

I'm a bit worried for the guys family, his facebook page has links you can follow to his grand kids still in highschool and other family members.
If I could find it in ten minutes of looking perhaps friends/family of  the bad guys could to, and maybe they harbor ill will.

That can't be!  According to the innernetz, the only thing Taurus is good for is being shipped to and from Miami for repair right out of the box.  They aren't supposed to actually work.

Old guys, years and years beyond caring what anyone thinks.  White socks, bermuda shorts pulled high, pink Taurus .380. >:D

My 605 is usually somewhere close by.  I've never had a problem I wasn't the cause of.  I sort of want to take a look at a TCP, now.  Except my hands are probably, practically, too big.  (Glock 19 is a 2.5 finger grip gun for me.)

^^^ I am thrilled with my TCP.  I got it in stainless and carry it on the bicycles.  I also have five Taurus revolvers and not one of them ever let me down or needed repair.
