Good Conceal Carry Story! TAMPA, Fla. A pistol-packing jogger in Florida won't be charged for shooting and killing a teenager who attacked him during a midnight run.
Prosecutors said Tuesday they are convinced Thomas Baker acted in self defense when he fired eight shots at 18-year-old Carlos Mustelier near Tampa in November .
Prosecutors say Florida's "stand-your-ground" law was a factor in their decision. The law, passed in 2005, gives people the right to use deadly force as long as they "reasonably believe" it is necessary to stop another person from hurting them.
Baker told police he reached for his gun when the teen punched him in the face. Baker has a concealed weapons permit.
The teen was hit four times in the chest, back and buttocks. He died at the scene.

say what?
Yay! Now make sure every young dirtbag thug in Florida hears about it.
The police of a State should never be stronger or better armed than the citizenry. An armed citizenry, willing to fight is the foundation of civil freedom. Heinlein
concealed carry Good story. Score one for justice.
great story... Being a runner I'm not sure where I would carry my EMP... but I'm going to have give it some-more thought!
The REAL Story.. Well, here is the story:
I cruise right thru a stop sign and got pulled over by a cop the other
day.... I got out and hand the police officer my driver's license, insurance card, and myconcealed carry permit.
(cop) "Okay, sir, the cop says, "I see your concealed weapon permit.
Are you carrying today?" (they always ask that)
(me) "Yes, I am."
(cop) "Well then, better tell me what you got."
(me) I told him, "Well, I got a .45 Long Colt Taurus Judge revolver in my inside coat pocket. There are 2 Springfield .45 semi-automatics in the glove box with 12 round mags. also, I've got a .308 LCP strapped to my right ankle."
(cop) "Okay," the cop says. "Anything else?"
(me) "Yeah, in the back seat, there's an AR15 (with holographic sites) and a 100 round double feed magazine as well as a .410 gauge Coach Gun loaded with slugs. In the trunk of the car there is an AK47 with 40 round magazine, a 12 gauge tactical sawed-off shotgun loaded with "00" buckshot and oh yeah, my Thompson Sub Gun with a 100 Round Drum Magazine and three 30 round back-up magazines.
(me) I guess, That's about it."
(cop) "Sir, just out of curiosity, are you on your way to or from a gun range or hunting trip?"
(me) "Nope."
(cop) "Well then, what are you afraid of?"
(me) "Not a damn thing."
(I did not get stopped, but you get the idea?)
That's the way it should have gone down. Kudos to the jogger
Just another bitter voter clinging to his guns and religion
