A gang of four teens targeted two politicians for a robbery near the Pennsylvania state Capitol in Harrisburg late Tuesday night, but they didn’t anticipate that one of their intended victims was previously a prison guard, a former MMA fighter and a concealed carry permit holder packing heat. Representatives Marty Flynn, D-Lackawanna, and Ryan Bizzarro, D-Erie, had just walked two female representatives back to the Capitol around 11 p.m. following a business-related dinner when they were approached by two young men wearing bandannas...The boys pointed a gun at the lawmakers and demanded their wallets, while two accomplices waited in a car nearby.
But the representatives weren’t ready to turn over their cash, and when Flynn reached towards his back pocket, he wasn’t reaching for his wallet, but rather his Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .380-caliber handgun. “At that moment he saw that I pulled the gun, it was like he shot at Bizzarro, I shot at him, I shot at him again,” Flynn recalled. “It was just like a blur to me. It was so quick.” ETA: Searched for dupe...but this happened Tuesday?? |

Quoted:
How do these Dem-tards vote on 2A issues?  Scranton & Erie? Both pretty rural compared to Philly, Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg. I'm guessing they're ok on 2A. Also this "State Rep. Marty Flynn, a former prison guard who is licensed to carry a handgun, said he believes he probably would have been killed if he had not used the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380 pistol that he conceals in a belt holster worn on the small of his back. "This isn't my neighborhood. I didn't grow up here. I'm not comfortable in this environment," said Flynn, D-Lackawanna, a native of Scranton in the state's northeastern corner. "I don't feel safe walking the streets of Harrisburg." |
