In Nashville, Tennessee, a 68 year old weight loss doctor said he was in the process of buying his girlfriend a swimsuit at a register in Macy’s when two men ran by him grabbing his wallet off the sales counter as they passed.
He ran after two men who he said stole his wallet, firing his gun at them multiple times.
This was just outside the Green Hills Mall shopping center at around 9 p.m. Police responded to multiple 911 calls, according to Metro Police spokesperson Don Aaron. |

"two men ran by him grabbing his wallet off the sales counter as they passed."
You call them shoplifters, despite the fact that they were not shoplifting store merchandise, I call them muggers.
Shooting at the fleeing perps was probably a crime, but if so, it was malum prohibitum, not malum in se, and I'd nullify the prosecution if I was on the jury.

TO REMEMBER |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S.
