A 65-year-old man was walking with his wife on a Philadelphia street just after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday when they were approached by two men, 21 and 20, and an argument ensued.
The two younger men allegedly began beating the 65-year-old man while his wife watched. “They were punching him and caused bruising to his face,” Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told WPVI-TV.
But the attack apparently didn’t last long.
It turns out the victim has a concealed carry license and put it to use, pulling out his .45 caliber pistol and shooting his two assailants, investigators told WCAU-TV.

I love these "feel good" story's Joe! You just can't beat a happy ending!
The more reason to have carry permits in Maryland.
Nice to see justice occur occasionally.
I have a permit and qualify often to use the weapon. Sure hope I never need it, because I would likely be afraid to do so in Maryland.
I too have a permit to carry , the 2nd amendment .
It is always best if there are no talking witnesses to an event such as this one.
He will be charged and the punks families will be on TV talking about how they were good boys turning their lives around and then sue the poor dude who shot them.
11:48.....that's all we need, isn't it?
Too many cops and politicians have decided THEY get to decide who has rights and who doesn't.
They have forgotten their place.
We're going to do some heavy handed and violent "reminding" soon."
We, the people, don't need anyone's "permission". We already have it.
"Police told WCAU the district attorney’s office will determine whether or not the shooting in the Queen Village section of the city was in self-defense."
WTF? Is there ANY question in ANY sane person's mind?
Our justice system just keeps getting more and more bizarre by the second.
Total bs 4:51, the shooter did nothing wrong and the attackers can burn in hell.
"Pop Pop" was in charge!
Pop! Pop!, There you go!
