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 |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
