YouTube Description
as posted by the channelToday’s show covers two men who used guns in defense of either themselves or others, only to find themselves promptly and firmly punished by the legal system that routinely allows criminals to walk free. Ironically, both men are from New York City, though the events took place on opposite sides of the nation.
The first of these is Vince Ricci, a retired New Yorker who now lives in Los Angeles. At around 7:30 PM on Saturday, Nov. 4, Ricci was about to enter his home carrying a cup of coffee, when he suddenly found himself the victim of an armed robbery by two men. Ricci managed to get his own pistol into action and drove the two men off with gunfire. This event was caught on video, which we’ll share with you today.
This week we learned that Los Angeles County, the issuing authority for gun permits in LA, has revoked Ricci’s concealed carry permit.
The second man we’re discussing today is New Yorker John Rote. Rote was on a subway platform when he happened to see a woman being mugged by an apparently deranged homeless man. Rote retrieved a revolver from his backpack and used it to drive the mugger away—including by imprudently firing two warning shots.
Rote was immediately arrested, charged with multiple crimes, and is currently out on bail awaiting prosecution. Not helpful to Rote’s circumstances is that the woman victim has announced that she became most frightened when she realized Rote had brought a gun to her defense.
