Two thugs in Chicago were shot by a man with a legally concealed weapon during an attempted armed robbery on Wednesday.

The two criminals entered a T-Mobile store armed with guns and attempted to rob the store after pretending to shop. They learned, however, that bullets can go both ways when a store employee pulled out his gun and opened fire, according to ABC Chicago. (RELATED: Armed Citizen Shoots And Kills Waffle House Robber)

“I think concealed carry is a great opportunity for managers, workers, employees to protect themselves in these cases. And our employee did a great job to protect themselves and the other employee,” he said. (RELATED: Chicago Man With Concealed Gun Shoots And Kills Armed Robber)
