New York pizza delivery man uses permitted concealed handgun to stop "a gang of robbers"

There might not be many permitted concealed handguns in New York state, but fortunately this pizza delivery man was able to protect himself. A gang of robbers attacked a pizza deliveryman just before 10:30 p.m. Monday as he brought food to a house in the 400 block of Cornwall Avenue, near Erie County Medical Center.   In the front hallway of the house, one of the robbers, who wore a mask and had a brown hoodie pulled over his face, hit the deliveryman on the head with a hammer, according to police.  The masked man also displayed what appeared to be a gun, police said.  But then, the deliveryman told investigators, he pulled out his own handgun and fired a shot, striking the masked man.
