Se­cu­ri­ty and firearms ex­perts warned that there could be se­ri­ous le­gal reper­cus­sions for own­ers of le­gal fire­marms if they are not care­ful in their re­sponse to crim­i­nal at­tacks.

In the space of three days, there have been two in­ci­dents where Firearm Users Li­cense (FUL) hold­ers de­fend­ed by­standers from armed at­tack­ers.

On Thurs­day night, two ban­dits who tried to rob the NP gas sta­tion near the Mar­itime Round­about, Barataria, were con­front­ed by a li­censed gun own­er. One of the ban­dits shot at the man, who re­turned fire, hit­ting both men.
