GRANITE CITY, IL (KTVI) - Investigators say a man with a conceal carry permit was able to defend himself against armed robbers. Police believe his weapon helped save his life

Some Granite City residents are still in shock after police say a man sitting in his car in the 2500 block of Revere's Route Early Friday morning was approached by an armed robber.

The victim was dropping off a friend after work when the suspect attempted to rob him. He was able to defend himself by firing his concealed weapon at the robber. Detectives say the victim's action saved his life.

The video goes into more detail than the printed article. The surprising part is they actually covered it on the evening news with out spinning it and the States Attorney for the County applauded the guy's use of a gun for self defense on camera.

Funny, since we've been assured repeatedly by the resident "experts" that no one ever uses their gun for actual self defense. Now we'll all wait for the irrelevant stories of criminals and accidents as result of negligence to "balance" the stories, since our control "fans" can't seem to tell the difference between lawful self defense and a crime or negligence.

But what else is new?
