The best thing to do is arm all law-abiding citizens. Then we wouldn't need to rely so much on police.
Since the NRA is opposed to any restrictions on gun purchases by people who have not been convicted of a gun crime, and refers to everyone as
a good guy with a gun, until after they have been convicted of a gun crime, the following article has been edited to reflect their policy.
Updated: Two more arrested in Hardin Co. robbery
Three Beaumont
suspects good guys with guns have been booked into Jefferson and Hardin county jails in connection with the robbery of a Hardin County store earlier this week.
Douglas John Martin, 21,
a good guy with a gun and Shavonskie Ardoin, 23, a
good guy with a gun are accused of demanding money and firing multiple shots inside Batson Grocery in Hardin County, causing damage to the store clerk's vehicle, according to Hardin County Sheriff Mark Davis.
Martin and Ardoin fled the store around 3:30 a.m. with a third suspect, 17-year-old Ashlae Daeshawn Roberts, Davis said.
The three took officers from Sour Lake, Beaumont and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office on a car chase that ended in Cheek, according to Davis.
Roberts,
a good guy with a gun, was arrested for aggravated robbery. She was booked at the Hardin County Jail on a $250,000 bond.
Martin and Ardoin,
two good guys with guns, who were in custody at the Jefferson County Correctional Facility on Thursday, ran into the woods after the chase and were found later Wednesday afternoon.
Ardoin's bond was set at $750,000 on an aggravated assault charge. He wasn't granted bond for a parole violation charge.
Martin was booked on an aggravated assault charge and a theft charge. His bonds add up to $800,000.
