Hotel clerk kills Orangeburg robber

A small woman in her 50s working as a hotel clerk at a Columbia area Days Inn shot and killed a robber “more than double her size” Monday morning, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said.

The man, Vincent Carson, 43, of Orangeburg, had held a knife to her throat, put the knife down and was apparently going to tie her up and sexually assault her, Lott said.

“He was a career criminal on a crime spree and would not have stopped except for what happened this morning,” Lott said later Monday.

The woman had been the victim of a prior robbery and had gotten permission from her hotel supervisor to carry a concealed pistol, Lott said.

“She did not have a concealed weapons permit, but you don’t need one on private property where you have permission,” he said.

The clerk was preparing the hotel’s breakfast about 6 a.m. when the attack happened at the Days Inn at 133 Plumbers Road, near I-20 and Wilson Boulevard.

Carson was hiding in the breakfast room, apparently waiting to ambush her, Lott said. Carson had brought along cords to tie up the woman, Lott said, adding Carson weighed a good 250 pounds and was more than six feet tall.

But when Carson put the knife down, Lott said, the victim shot him.

Carson died of one bullet wound to the chest, according to Richland County Coroner Gary Watts

That is  what I consider to be GUN CONTROL.  Look at the money that will be saved

by not putting the career criminal back in prison.

And this is why guns should legal to carry, without a permit. It is everybody's right to carry. Bet the crime rate would drop fast then.

Now what was that reason for disarming the public?

Sad that it was necessary but so happy that the woman was armed and able to cope with the situation. One less scumbag in the world. Any chance she could go and see some banksters and their buddies on Capitol Hill?
