Here’s your feel good 2nd Amendment gun story of the week!
A pharmacist shot and killed an armed robber from behind the counter using his conceal and carry permit weapon.
Don Radcliff was working at Good Pharmacy in Pinch, West Virginia, on Wednesday when Terry Gillenwater, 25, walked in wearing a mask while eight other customers were in the store.
Surveillance footage shows the attacker standing in line for a few moments before pulling the weapon and aiming it at employees.
Standing just a few feet away, Mr Radcliff quickly drew his own gun and him twice.
He then walked out from behind the cash register and fired again, downing the suspect.
Gillenwater was taken to hospital but died a short time later.
Mr Radcliff returned to work just 24 hours later, but admitted he was shaken by what happened.
Kanawha deputies said the man, identified by Kanawha deputies as Terry Gillenwater, 25, of Quick, was wearing a mask over his face. He stood in line for a few moments before producing a handgun and pointing it directly at the counter workers.
Radcliff said he was standing just a few feet away. He drew his own weapon, firing three times, hitting the suspect twice and one shot actually hit the man’s gun as he was aiming to fire back.
On Thursday, he is back on the job, shaken, but trying to move forward.
Radcliff said he has received tremendous support from his family and friends, but also from his faith. Radcliff shared Thursday’s devotion from his daily devotional.
“Thursday, February 19th, John 10, 7 to 18, ‘A thief comes only to steal and to kill and destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.’ That’s verse 10,” Radcliff said. “Abundance isn’t God’s provision for me to live in luxury; it’s his provision for me to help others live.”
