An armed gas station clerk utilized his 2nd Amendment right on Wednesday morning in Avondale, Arizona when an armed assailant attempted to rob his store.
According to the Avondale Police Department, the shooting took place around five in the morning.
The clerk told local news that he was working a graveyard shift when a man entered the store and said “rob” and money” quietly to the clerk while in possession of a firearm. He reportedly aimed that gun at customers which allowed the clerk to take action.
“The suspect became distracted by another person in the store and the store employee took the opportunity to pull out and use his own firearm, shooting and injuring the suspect,” the Avondale police said in a statement, per Fox 10.

“In all reality, he didn’t need to say anything,” the store clerk explained to Fox 10. “The moment he pointed the gun at me, it was pretty obvious what he was there for.”
Following the self-defense, the suspect was transported to the local hospital and is in critical condition.
Once again the 2nd Amendment proves its usefulness in allowing Americans to defend themselves from those who wish to do them harm. Crime occurs every day across this country and citizens should have every right to defend themselves from such danger.
