Should be an official Nintendo warning, "if you going to go hunting for Pokemon in 4am, carry personal protection".

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but that is a perfect example why banning all registered firearms is a terrible idea. It only takes the guns out of the hands of responsible citizens and not the criminals.

That story could have been the other way around, the would be victims could have been robbed and killed. I'm not a fan of guns, but I like the fact that if I want to buy one legally for protection and get the proper training, I can.

As a matter of fact, I've been looking into getting a shotgun for home defense.

Brave man to defend himself. Sucks for the other trainers that got in the middle of it.
