    | In Baltimore, Maryland, a local man was sitting in his car Wednesday afternoon in southwest Baltimore when a number of teenagers approached.
 
 One of the group, later identified as a local 13 year old, opened the car door and displayed a handgun.
 
 The 73 year old intended victim, pulled his own gun and shot the teen. The others with him quickly fled the area, leaving their wounded associate to his fate. The intended victim defending himself was interviewed by detectives.
 
 He turns out to be an ex-police officer working as a licensed private investigator. He has a valid concealed weapon permit issued by Maryland State Police.

    | Ex Police Officer had a carry permit. 
 Too bad the rest of the sheeple in Maryland aren't afforded the same access to self defense.

    | And if you're not LEO or ex-LEO, I bet they don't just assume you were in the right when you shoot a 13 year old carrying a toy gun.

                TO REMEMBER |  
              | 
                    
                      | They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note:   This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work.  — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |  |  |
