Nonprofit Founder Loses Concealed Carry Permit After Shootout with Robbers
Vince Ricci, a nonprofit founder known for his charity work, has found himself in the midst of controversy after his concealed carry permit was allegedly revoked following a shootout with armed suspects who tried to rob him in front of his home.
The incident, which was captured on camera on November 4, showed Ricci fending off two armed suspects who jumped the fence of his Mid City home. In a recent interview, Ricci spoke out about the incident, expressing his fear for his family and his determination to protect them.
However, in a surprising turn of events, reports surfaced claiming that Ricci’s concealed carry permit had been revoked after the shootout. In response, Ricci voiced his concerns about the potential loss of his Second Amendment rights, accusing “leftist gun grabbers” of disregarding his safety.
While the Los Angeles Police Department denied revoking Ricci’s permit, the controversy has sparked a debate about gun rights and public safety. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department released a statement acknowledging the traumatic nature of the incident and assuring that Ricci’s Second Amendment rights would be protected.
This is not the first time Ricci’s home has been targeted, as he revealed that his house had been robbed in the past without any arrests or follow-up investigations. Despite the challenges he has faced, Ricci remains committed to giving back to his community through his nonprofit organization and annual toy drives.
As the debate continues, the case serves as a reminder of the complex issues surrounding gun rights and public safety in the United States.
