Minneapolis Gun Owner Saves Muslim Shopkeeper.

Minneapolis has a lot of Muslims, some with green cards, some citizens, but few with guns. That’s why Mohammed Ahmed is lucky Matt Dosser has a permit to carry a concealed gun.

Inside his neighborhood market, Mohamed S. Ahmed was screaming for help after a pair of armed robbers had left him bleeding.

Outside the northeast Minneapolis store, two men pounded on the window, trying to get back into the University Market after Ahmed managed to lock them out.

“They seemed really agitated, super agitated,” said Matt Dosser, who was walking by about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. At first, “nothing made sense, then I saw the gun.”

Dosser, who has a permit to carry a gun, reached for his own weapon.

One of the robbers “turned around and looked at me,” Dosser recalled. “He stared at me. I had my weapon up. I didn’t point the gun at the person. I had it at the ready, out of the holster.

“His buddy said something to him,” Dosser continued, “and then he had this surprised look on his face, and they both ran to his vehicle and took off.”

Police said Matt Dosser “acted with honor” and probably saved the life of store owner Mohamed Ahmed. Of course, police also said:

“When people get a permit to carry, they are instructed not to intercede into a crime that is occurring. It’s solely for personal protection.”

Sure, the old “mind your own business, let us worry about crime, slave.” Sorry Mr. Cop, but if I see my fellow man in trouble and I have the power to intervene, I’m not waiting for you to show up.

Dosser, 41, said he typically keeps his gun concealed, as permitted under a 2003 Minnesota law, “especially in the city.”

“I am thankful they passed conceal and carry,” Dosser said. “Police can’t be everywhere.”

 

He said he “came close” to using his gun about eight years ago while getting lunch for his tree-removal crew in north Minneapolis. Two men were stomping on another man, he said.

“ ‘I’ll shoot you if you don’t stop kicking that guy!’ ” he recalled yelling. The kicking stopped, he said.

Aren’t guns great? Unless you’re Bruce Lee, you can’t beat the crap out of two men and then save the guy who’s getting kicked, but with a gun, the most powerful visual aide in the world, you can bring human garbage to their sense without getting your hands dirty.

His [Ahmed’s] head is still hurting nearly a full day later and with seven surgical staples in his wound, Ahmed said he has no second thoughts about trying to overpower an armed suspect.

“He could have shot me regardless,” he said.

“I had a gun put to my face,” he said Wednesday afternoon while back at the store, on 37th Avenue NE., to clean up the mess left by the attack. “I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.”

Then get yourself a gun, Mr. Ahmed. If you’re an American or green card resident, that is your right. I won’t lie to you, I’m not fan of the Muslims but I respect their rights. Just stick to being a shopkeeper and let us serve pork in our public schools. It would also be nice if you could dress like a normal American and not wear turbans, but that’s up to you, not me. Oh, and please join the NRA, remember, Obama didn’t save your ass, Mr. Dosser did.
