A shocking incident unfolded in New York, where a 46-year-old man used his firearm in self-defense after being targeted by a group of teenagers driving stolen cars.

Investigators said the man approached multiple teens occupying a Kia and Hyundai on Norton Village Lane to “inquire about their presence.”

The teens left the area in the vehicles, only to circle back and drive at the man.

The armed citizen fired several rounds from his legally registered .45-caliber handgun when the teens attempted to run him over in the stolen vehicles.

One 17-year-old was hit and is currently recovering from non-life-threatening injuries When a 3,000-pound car is speeding toward you, that is deadly force.

And let me tell you, a car can be just as dangerous as a gun, if not more. These weren’t just ‘teens’ like the ones they mention when they talk about gun violence statistics.

Nah, these were car-stealing, attempted vehicular manslaughtering, fully functioning criminals. Yet, anti-gun groups would have you believe these kids are victims.

Can we take a moment to appreciate in New York, of all places, this guy didn’t get charged.

I mean, you know how New York treats gun owners.

They’re practically allergic to the Second Amendment over there.
