Military veteran confronts gas station intruders with AR-15

Saw this in our local Michigan news. Guess those AR-15's have a practical use after all. This story has been completely buried in the local news media. They won't cover it, but they'll cover anything else that demonizes the damn weapons. Not every law abiding gun owner who pulls a firearm ends up using it, either.

SHINGLETON -- Two teens have been arrested in connection to an alleged break-in at an Oasis Gas Station in Shingleton.

According to the Michigan State Police, two residents ages 17 and 18 were arrested on breaking and entering charges on Monday after the alleged break-in.

Police say that the two suspects broke in to the gas station wearing ski masks and proceeded to the cash register. The two suspects were unaware that the gas station owner and Iraq war veteran Shawn Schank was still in the building.

Police say that Schank ran towards the suspects and kicked one of them to the ground. He then retrieved his AR-15 rifle from his office and ordered them to leave the business.
