    Las Vegas Smoke Shop Owner Repeatedly Stabs Masked Thief (VIDEO) (thegatewaypundit.com)

    The store’s surveillance video shows two masked men entering Smokestrom Smoke Shop on Sahara Avenue looking for trouble.

    The shop’s owner, Johnny Nguyen, quickly jumped into action and fought back against the robber.

    The robber shouted, “He’s stabbing me! I’m dead!” as his accomplice ran out the door.

    “I was in a fight or flight mode… a lot of adrenaline going through my body,” Nguyen shared. Nguyen called the police immediately after stabbing the would-be robber

    It's a shame the business owners are being in these situations, but maybe videos like this released out to the public will discourage some of this.

    When seconds count, cops are just minutes away

    In some people's view of the world he shouldn't fight back. He shouldn't be armed to protect his livelihood (in this case a knife, but the article mentions he will be buying a gun for protection). We shouldn't be able to protect our homes either. They only want cops and the government to have them as well as those who don't follow the laws anyway (i.e CRIMNALS).

    That’s what my dad used to say.

    He also said in reference to guns: It’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
