A 19-year-old man is hospitalized and under arrest after being shot in his right thigh early Thursday morning in the course of allegedly stealing an iPhone during a planned buy on Detroit's west side.
The suspect and the alleged victim, who police said is a 23-year-old man, arranged to meet at the apartment of the 23-year-old, on the 1600 block of Calvert, so that the victim could sell the suspect his iPhone, said Officer Holly Lowe, a Detroit Police Dept. spokeswoman.
The men arranged the transaction online.
In the course of the transaction, the suspect pulled out a handgun, police said.
But the 23-year-old — who has a license to carry a concealed handgun — pulled out his own gun and shot the suspect in his right thigh.

Why is the fact that he has a license to carry a concealed handgun germane?
The incident occurred in the shooter's apartment, where he does not need a license to carry a concealed handgun. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
