Went up to Advanced auto in lehigh at bell blvd last night at 830 with reliablesteves brother, brian.

heading out to the jeep, im gettin in pass side, brian into the drivers, he had his door open when a decked out light black male buries a gun into his back demanding his wallet. Brian turns around, realizes whats going on, and tells him he doesnt have it. He then is pushed back into the jeep and the small hangun .22/9mm buried into his chest.

The guy went to XXXX it, already mashing the trigger, and it JAMMED!!! We were then able to flee into the auto store to call the police...

I give the Lehigh guys credit tho, first cop there w/in 3 minutes of call, chopper and k-9's to follow...

Same description guy and gun 15 minutes later rob a wallet in the walmart parking lot...

Didnt find 'em yet!
FRIGGIN SCARY!!!
 
The ultimate nitemare and not being able to defend yourself or somebody else. CC permits are available in Florida, it's a 'shall issue state'...
 
been there.
was 16, robbed by two large black males.
Mom was the manager, he grabbed mom , I took a swing. Got pistol whipped for my trouble.
sucked.

One thing to keep in mind: carry permit would have not saved him if the gun did not jam. Situational awareness is the key! Brain is the other, gun is the third. If someone draws on you and asks for a wallet, you hand over the wallet. Pulling a gun at that point is signing your own death warrant (unless you get lucky and the other guy's gun jams).

Agree, a wallet is not worth the paper work, good reason to carry a spare empty one with old stuff in it. Was taught to throw the wallet one direction and run the other. Was at the video store a few month ago with the TJ, almost dark, couple of pants falling down types were hanging out next to it, I walked out the door and stopped, pulled out my camera phone and snapped a pic, flash went off. One of them asked me what I was doing and I said a friend wanted a pic of my jeep and that I just emailed it. They walked away but kept looking back, waited till they were well gone before I stepped away from the door.
You always have to scan whats going on, should be a constant thing but after military and working as a bouncer for 4 years while in college I don't even think about it anymore.

I go tomorrow for my class/cert to get my CWP. Being across the jeep, wouldve been nice to pull out a .45 to outwit his lil .22/9mm, especially since his wasn't loaded, and mine definitely would be.

I agree that CWP or CCW or whatever it is called in your state is something worth pursuing. Scenarios though... oh man, most of the ones where you would want to use them are ugly as you have to always keep in mind everyone else. If he has a gun on your friend you don't draw on him. If he is fleeing, very few states allow you to take action (I think TX is only one of them). And lastly.... don't discount the 9mm so easily. Also 9mm is somewhat related to a .38 and not a .22.
 
Tis the season.... happens every year people get desperate and people die. I prefer the "disposable" guns myself. Kejtar is right though if someone has the draw on you best to do whatever you can to divert and difuse the situation.

Get LOTS of training, not just the requirements for the CPL/CCP/ETC. There's so much more to these situations than I can get into on a forum. ;)

Agreed. A CCW license does not make you James Bond, almost every situation where you would draw has legal consequences if not done right. Do the research and educate yourself or you'll be just as guilty in court as the other guy.
 
man somebody upstairs was really lookin out for yall last night!

glad yall are ok.

Had a guy who i thought was gonna pull a gun on me last night. Was comin out of a car show in downtown charlotte, 8:15 or so. Black male was walkin down the street next to where me and my two friends were. The garage I had parked in was directly across the street from the convention center. Didn't think much of the guy at first as he didn't come across as the type who was out for trouble. Started askin us which cars we liked the most and all. Then he asked us if we had any money so he could buy some "food". The honest to god truth is that we didn't have any cash, we had all spent our last $$$ to get into the show. Even if we did we wouldn't give it to him. After we said sorry that we didn't, he started reaching into the pocket of his sweatshirt and fumblin around for somethin. Immediately I thought oh shit this dude gonna pull a gun on us. LUCKILY a charlotte cop happened to pull up right next to us, just sitting in traffic waiting for the light to change. The dude played it off and said thanks anyway, and walked away.

Needless to say we hauled ass to the Jeep and got the hell out of the area before he saw us again.

Sucks that we have to live in a society with people like this who are out for no good.

I read an article recently where someone died from a .22 shot because the bullet traveled to the heart through an artery or something like that.... talk about a shitty way to go.

Then there's the oddballs, back in 76 or so a guy walked into a hospital in Norfolk va. His wife had shot him 6 times in the head with a .22 [musta been shorts], blood all over the place but none penetrated, knocked him out and the wife thought he was dead as did the boyfriend. Needless to say she was a mite shocked when the poice picked her up a few hours later with her boyfriend and they were confronted by her 'dead' husband. Guy was off a carrier and caught a mail plane in 3 days early from a med cruise.
