A 78-year-old Philadelphia man used a .38 caliber handgun to thwart a carjacker.Here's my favorite part of this story:
George Newton said that when William Edney approached him, held a pistol to his head and said "Don't do anything funny," he handed him the keys to his sport utility vehicle...But when he saw that Edney was trying to shift gears with his gun hand Newton decided the time had come for action. He pulled out his own weapon and shot Edney in the jaw, and then walked to the other side of the car and shot him in the shoulder.
"Both windows were down so I didn't mess up any of my glass," Newton told the Inquirer.Glad to see not all Newtons are morons.
Still, I wonder if he thinks it's worth all that "blood on the streets" in Philadelphia?
Besides, why couldn't he just dial "911"?
Or like Democrat Hal smugly proposes, "engage a bodyguard or two"?

Wonder if Edney learned his lesson?
