Pizza Delivery Man Shoots, Fends Off Would-Be Robbers

LUFKIN, Texas —  A pizza delivery man who was taking an order to a house in East Texas pulled out a gun and opened fire on two would-be robbers, police said.

One of the alleged robbers was hospitalized after getting shot in the back, Lufkin police said. The Papa John's pizza delivery man, who's licensed to carry a handgun, wasn't hurt.

The shooting was Tuesday night, after the delivery man walked up to a house and rang a doorbell, Lufkin police said. It turned out the house was vacant and two armed men approached him from the side of the house, The Lufkin Daily News reported Thursday. The delivery man drew a .22 caliber Derringer and fired two shots, and the assailants ran away, police said.

It appears unlikely the delivery man will face any charges since he "was defending himself at the time of the shooting," Lufkin Police Lt. David Young said.

Can't blame the delivery guy for defending himself, but I'm sure the lefty,  :censored: morons will try.

Let's see how PJ handles this. The two times it happened to Pizza Hut drivers, they got fired.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

I've worked for a PJ franchise and had the chance to meet John Schnatter.  He's a pretty conservative guy, but this is most likely a franchise store, in which case it's completely up to them.

Women and children are precious resources to be protected at all costs.  Men are expendable commodities whose function is to protect those resources, at all costs.

So how does it feel to know that someone's kid in the heart of america has blood on their hands to defend your rights so you can maintain a lifestyle that insults his family's existence?

He MIGHT be alright since it's not in a metro area of Texas. The outlying areas tend to be pretty conservative.
