While we aren’t sure where this was or when the video was taken, it seems like this was a successful act of self-defense.
In the video below, we are seeing what looks to be an attempted armed robbery. Two people approach our victim while he is possibly trying to get into the truck. He could have simply been walking by, but in any event he was being robbed.
At least one of the robbers looks to have a firearm in his hand. Let’s take a look at the sequence of events:
Watch the video below (if video does not display, click here):
This looks like a great example of an armed citizen defending himself against the bad guys. Whatever the outcome was, we aren’t aware of it, but it looks safe to assume that the man being robbed was able to get away to safety.
As we are an educational website on concealed carry, let’s take a look at what was done right, while also taking a look at what could have been done better.
Our victim complies with the robber’s demands, which allows time for him to plan a move to stop his attackers. The hands over one item, either a wallet or cell phone, probably knowing that they’ll want more. When they do in fact want more, the victim turns and beings to walk away. At that point, he is able to gain access to his firearm without them realizing it and begins to turn back towards them and fire. He seized the opportunity to draw while his draw hand was not in the view of the robbers.
Overall, and under the circumstances, this armed citizen did an excellent job at turning the tables in his favor.
I don’t want to pull this guy apart, but we are going to use this as a learning opportunity for those reading. There are indeed a few points to be made that could have made the situation even better for the concealed carrier. Here are those points, in no particular order.
It’s an amazing thing when citizens are able to successfully defend themselves, and it seems that this man did just that. Watch the video a few more times and learn from this example, because it could help one of us in the future.
