Okay, stop with the stupid “what ifs” none of us where there, none of us know the circumstances and it ended well.
But I’ll play along…he could have stayed home being afraid to go out after dark. He could have gone out unarmed and been killed even if he complied…
Get it?
The victim here got lucky. In a training class I tried to outdraw a criminal who already had me at gunpoint. The result was me getting a simunition in the head. True, I got away with it in another situation by throwing my wallet to him but it’s easy to take risks in training scenarios. In real life the stakes are obviously higher.
Ahh. I love a happy ending. Let’s hope some leftist judge doesn’t get hold of this and try and make him a murder.
Hallelujah!!! The sun shines on another great day without that POS drawing air that the rest of us can use.
Great Shooting!!!
Our hero should get TAX FREE STATUS FOR LIFE, a new gun, replacement ammo and the keys to the city. There should be a civic ceremony to group piss on the POS grave.
Our hero saved tax slaves millions in medical, trial and incarceration costs. Saved idiot judges the embarrassment of releasing the ofal to prey on your family.
F’ CRIMINALS!!!! Shoot till the threat stops…….breathing.
You mean the “VICTIM.” The “suspect” is DRT.
Hopefully he mag dumped into the now deceased animal.
The sixth homicide?
