Too bad he didn’t let the air out of both thieves.
What a complete idiot.
he emptied his pistol’s bullet magazine.
Why start shooting when the people are fleeing?
BG in car pointed a weapon at him.
Agree. 40-50 residents in this neighborhood and we choose to let rounds fly down range at a fleeing car. He said he hit 8 times. How many misses??? Not a smart choice.
“Bullet” magazine?
I guess magazine would’ve been confusing…
Rather pointless to MMQ this guy without more information. It’s one thing to empty a mag into a car in your driveway with a guy pointing a gun at you. It’s quite another to stand in the middle of the road and spray bullets down the street as the vehicle speeds away.
How is firing a gun at a fleeing suspect “an armed standoff”.
Damien
Sheriff is searching for a car with bullet holes in the left REAR quarter panel. Major lolz.
Was Paul Blart trying to hit the tire or fuel door to cause a movie like fireball and rescue his neighbors crap?
Bad move. Agree that this guy must be ignorant of the law.
Before we judge too harshly…
At least this guy had the correct target vehicle.
One has nothing to do with the other.
Agree 
One was shooting at bad guys
Perfect example IMHO people do dumb things on both sides
Link in article did not work ? Says country road where those 40-50 people lived did he endanger anyone ? With such bad journalism hard to say if he was being unsafe or not
Flat out not enough facts ?
Not saying I would be doing it doubt most here would either
When it sells more copy anything is an armed standoff and assault weapon.
Read the article. He challenged the suspects with his gun and they responded by brandishing their own gun(s). Hence the stand-off - two sides, ready for gunplay. Fortunately, our hero was able to bravely run away, find cover, and wait until the suspects were driving away before firing his weapon in defense of his life.
