it's not what you got, but whether you're willing to use it

other coverage of this story indicates that the thug had an ak47 type semi-auto, but with the inaccuracy of the news in regards to guns, it could have been a bowling ball.

DAYTON — A 24-year-old man who allegedly got out of his car and tried to rob an elderly man at gunpoint was shot by the would-be victim, who was licensed to carry a concealed weapon and fired to defend himself, police said.

The younger man was shot twice on Saturday, Sept. 19, and was taken to Miami Valley Hospital, where he was under guard, Dayton police Sgt. Damon Castor said. The gunshot injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, Castor said.

“Apparently he was trying to rob the older gentleman of something,” Castor said of the younger man. “He picked on the wrong person.”

The would-be victim, in his 70s, was not injured, Castor said. The confrontation took place at West Third Street and Brooklyn Avenue in west Dayton, police said.

It was not clear whether the alleged attacker was trying to steal the older man’s car or money, Castor said.

No charges had been filed Saturday. Police are investigating.

Why would you use an AK-47 rob someone? Kinda hard to conceal unlike the surprise the old man gave him.

Do you even know how reporters go about covering these sorts of events Mr Shooter?

Here's a hint: It isn't in possession of the complete facts.
