It never ceases to amaze at how effective a handgun can be as an equalizer when facing numerically superior opponents.
A Georgia man sitting in a drive-thru at a Sonic Drive-In restaurant was confronted Sunday by a small gang of armed men who demanded his hard earned money, WSB-TV reported.
Little did the cowards know that the apparent “victim,” Joseph Toombs, a member of the National Guard, was also armed.
.
And not only did Toombs possess a weapon, he possessed the courage and skill to use it, according to the DeKalb County Police Department.

“The victim had his own handgun was able to shoot the suspect, who fell to the ground,” Lt. Mark Lavigne told WSB-TV. “The other two or three suspects fled from the scene.”

Police eventually captured two suspects, and the fourth suspect is still at large. WSB-TV said the suspect who was shot was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. —
Police say a man shot at a group of armed men who allegedly tried to rob him while he was waiting in the drive-thru line at a fast food restaurant Sunday night.

DeKalb County police said the victim was placing his order in the drive-thru lane at the Sonic on Flat Shoals when a group of men approached his car with guns and demanded money.

That’s when the man fought back.

“The victim had his own handgun was able to shoot the suspect, who fell to the ground. The other two or three suspects fled from the scene,” said DeKalb police Lt. Mark Lavigne.

Police said they captured two suspects.

Another suspect, who was shot, was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Officers are still searching for a fourth person accused in the shooting.

Theres no way for sonic to control if you are armed or not. It's not like you can go in anyway

Even if they had doors to walk through, simply declaring on the news or posting signs is not legally binding in GA. They have to ask you specifically to remove your gun from the premises.

Transcript of the order process:

"Welcome to Sonic. Can I take your order?"

"Yeah, I'll have a large coke, fries, and a cheeseburger with extra ketchup."

"Will that be all sir?"

BOOM

"On second thought, hold the extra ketchup on the burger."

Glad the good guy won!

Anytime I've gone to Sonic I never even got out of my car so who the hell are they to tell me I can't have a gun in my car OR on my hip anyway? Screw a bunch a damn Sonic, plenty of other AND better burger joints anyway.

That has to be my favorite thing about GA gun law. Drives me nuts how in Tennessee, the sign is the law.
