Chief Tango sends us a link to our feel good story to kick off the week, this time it’s from Florida<\/a> where veteran Marvin Lail took on an armed thief at the local 7-Eleven;<\/p>\n

Marvin Lail, an Army veteran trained in hand-to-hand combat, wasn’t going down without a fight.<\/p>\n

“I went around to the back of the car, and he kept trying to get the wallet, and showed me the big gun,\u201d Lail said.<\/p>\n

But even the sight of a gun wasn’t enough to scare the concealed-carry permit holder, who desperately tried to defend himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe showed it to me and said, \u2018I got a gun!\u2019 I said, \u2018You’re going to have to kill me to get my money!\u2019\u201d Lail explained.<\/p>\n

The great-grandfather managed to keep his wallet during the scuffle. Eventually, the video shows a 7-Eleven employee coming outside and the suspect casually walks away.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn’t going to give in. He said, \u2018Give it up old man! Give it up old man!\u2019 No, the adrenaline just started flowing,\u201d Lail said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
