Elderly Man Uses Gun To End Jewelry Store Robbery: VIDEO

Published|Updated

Some criminals nearly bought the farm after deciding to rob a jewelry store in California.

Dion Lim posted incredible footage of Phuong Jewelry being robbed Wednesday in Oakland, California, and while the armed criminals were able to get away with a lot of inventory, the situation came to an end thanks to the Second Amendment.

The footage shows one of the owners getting her 76-year-old husband as the bad guys smash up the display cases. The elderly man came out with a gun ready to unleash hell, and the scumbags ran like scared dogs as soon as they saw he was packing.

You can watch the incredible footage below, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

The bad guys are damn lucky they left the store alive. It appeared they all had hammers. He had a gun. Those are terrible odds for the criminals robbing the store.

If you play stupid games long enough, you'll eventually win some stupid prizes and that's exactly what nearly happened here. They were terrorizing an old woman as they robbed her blind, and then her husband came out armed. That immediately put an end to the situation.

As the saying goes, "God made man. Samuel Colt made them equal."

A gun is the ultimate equalizer. Nobody is bulletproof. In this situation, a 76-year-old man has no shot in a physical altercation against multiple attackers. Didn't matter because he was packing and was able to shoot when they couldn't. Again, the scumbag criminals are lucky they left without some holes being punched in them.

It's an important and powerful reminder of the Second Amendment. Bad guys won't stop until they have something to fear. Bullets potentially heading their direction is a hell of a deterrent. Props to the elderly man for scaring away the criminals terrorizing his wife. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
