A man was walking at 1:20 am, Sunday morning, when he was confronted by two black males, one of which pointed a gun at him. From timesleader.com:
What do you got for me? one man said to the victim.On a dark street, the tactical deterrence offered by open carry may not be as effective, essentially making open carry the equivalent of concealed carry. The open carrier showed good tactical sense in the encounter, and the two criminals were lucky that they did not get shot.
He told police he grabbed his attackers gun with one hand and drew his own firearm. The man does not have a concealed firearms permit, but carries his gun under Pennsylvanias open carry laws, police said. The robbers fled.
Great story. Missed that one.
Scumbags from NYC are moving in to the eastern part of the state.
“criminals were lucky that they did not get shot.”
Dang! I was hoping for a happy ending.
