A Democrat With A Concealed Permit Fires At Would Be Robber......
What do you know, a Democrat with a gun actually uses it. He will be banned from the party now. Can you imagine if he had shot and killed a black youth trying to rob him? Anyway, good for him. Hard to believe he is a Dem.
Quote:HARRISBURG — A Pennsylvania state representative exchanged fire with a man who attempted to rob him blocks from the Capitol Tuesday night, according to the House Democratic leader's office.
Rep. Marty Flynn, D-Lackawanna, and Rep. Ryan Bizzarro, D-Erie, were walking home from the Capitol area a little before 11 p.m. when they were approached by a man who pointed a gun at them and demanded their wallets, according to a press release from the Democratic leader's office. A man across the street shouted instructions to the gunman, the statement said.
"Neither lawmaker handed over anything," the statement said. "Flynn drew a handgun that he is licensed to carry and exchanged shots with the first male, at which time both attackers and victims ran in different directions."
No one was struck by gunfire, said Harrisburg police Officer Paula Trovy.
Harrisburg police arrested four suspects, identified as Jamani Ellison, 17; Jyair Leonard, 15; Derek Anderson, 17; and Zha-quan McGhee, 15.
They were charged with criminal attempted homicide, conspiracy, robbery, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and carrying a firearm without a license, Officer Trovy said. The gun used in the incident was recovered, according to the police.
Both Mr. Flynn, a former Lackawanna County Prison guard and supervisor, and Mr. Bizzarro, a former victim-witness coordinator for the Erie County courts, were elected in 2012.
The two representatives are back at the Capitol as the House begins what is expected to be a lengthy final day of voting in the two-year session, according to their leader's office.

From what I'm guessing, it was close.

Why is it that the second generation Oriental I work with is named Kevin?
Zha-quan. I have no clue, absolutely no clue, about what part of the world that jumbled wad of letters comes from.

Pro-gun Dems are kind of a thing in the non-Metro-Philly parts of Pennsylvania.

The fact that there is an elected state legislator named "Bizzarro" is one of the under-appreciated aspects of this tale.

I wonder if they have an elitist mentality where they should have one, but regular people don't need one.
