Yea!!!!
COLUMBIA — A South Carolina man who shot and killed an armed robber at an Alcoholic Anonymous gathering in Columbia has his gun back.
Police returned the .32-caliber semiautomatic pistol to Columbia lawyer James Corley.
The local prosecutor said this month that Mr. Corley's shooting of 18-year-old Kayson Helms of Edison, N.J., was justifiable self-defense of himself and others at the center.
The 61-year-old Mr. Corley has a concealed-weapons permit.
Police say Mr. Helms already had robbed one person at gunpoint and was about to rob others when Mr. Corley shot him.

Yea!!!!
Now that is why we have the right to bear arms!
Good job......Shoot the robbin thug.
It shouldn't even be news that the guy got his firearm back. The gubment ought to buy him a bigger, more powerful one as a reward. Good for him and keep up the straight shootin!
FINALLY !!!!!! Some GOOD NEWS reported.
Excellent job!
1 bullet is cheaper than a trial.
Give the man a reward.
Send him to Georgia Tech. They could use that kind of vigilante on campus.
I think every time a good guy with a gun shoots a bad guy it should make national news. Get the word out, the some good people are packing. Do the crime at your own great risk.
Good job!
The sad truth is that for every story like this one, there is 3 or 4 other stories where a unsuspecting fool or child killed themselves while mishandling a gun.
Ben There, where did you get that stat.. out of a hat? You show me some hard proof and we will talk. I think its ridiculous that it took him that long to get his gun back
I know Robbery is wrong ,but with all the stupid laws we have now tell me, what crime did he commit. He was ABOUT to..........
It is good that the police returned this man's gun. He will need it again, no doubt, as people become more desperate due to today's economy.
