heres a good example of why you need to carry a concealed weapon, because you never know where or when youll be attacked, and why a 380 is not the ideal caliber, because look at the results after hitting an attacker 4 times, at close range, hes still up functioning and expected to survive, which would be far less likely with a 357 mag, 10mm or 45 acp

yeah! buddy a good 357 mag, 45acp, or 10mm with double tap brand ammo would be far less likely to result in a guy shot 4 times standing there yelling at you to stop shooting him
I know my 10 mm glock only takes one solid hit to drop a deer!

ST. PETERSBURG --

Police plan to charge a 17-year-old boy who was shot four times while attempting to rob two people in an Applebee's parking lot Sunday night.

Bay News 9 is not naming the juvenile suspect, who will be charged with two counts of attempted armed robbery.

Police said the suspect approached Raven Smith and Lesley Tanner's car around 10:30 p.m. Sunday and pointed a gun at Tanner.

Smith, 34, who has concealed weapons permit, saw this and fired his .380 caliber gun at the suspect several times.

After the suspect was struck four times, he pulled off his mask and yelled at Smith to stop shooting. The suspect told Smith the gun was fake, though police said it was a fully loaded .25 caliber automatic.

The suspect was taken to an area hospital in serious condition but is expected to survive, police said.

Police said Smith acted in self defense.
The initial report

The St. Petersburg Police Department is investigating a shooting that happened Sunday night in a restaurant parking lot.

According to officials, a person was shot during a robbery attempt outside an Applebee's restaurant.

The shooting took place in the parking lot outside the Applebee's at 4700 4th St. North just before 11 p.m.

Police officials said as a couple parked their car, a masked man attempted to rob them. But the male would-be victim pulled his own gun and fired multiple times at the robber.

The robber, who hasn't been identified, was shot and rushed to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Customers inside Applebee's called Bay News 9 shortly after the shooting saying police had locked down the restaurant until the scene outside was under control.
