A 30-year-old mother is lucky today after the quick-thinking of a stranger helped save her from a mugging.
The mother of two who was dragged across a Texas shopping center parking lot this week, clinging to her purse while two suspects in a sedan tried to snatch it.
That’s when the stranger, who was armed, stopped the would-be thieves and forced them to lie on the ground while they waited for the police to arrive.

Amen. Proof that more handguns are needed in the hands of law-abiding people of all races everywhere.
OK, good job! But next time, keep a little more distance between you and the perps, and point the gun at them at all times!
Good catch! Also, arms straight out, palms up and cross your ankles.....NOW!
I haven't been able to figure out why. Why do you think that is?
Credit also to the gunman for being as cool as a cucumber.
The lack of “extraneous” action on his part leads me to suspect that he was possibly an LEO or military combat veteran. Someone who understands what guns are and do, and is quite practiced with them.
My first thought would be veteran, but because once the suspects were arrested, he was given quick clearance to take off suggests an LEO who does not want his face on the front page.
In any case, he “done good”.
Take a look at the two on the ground and the guy with the gun, maybe it was a good thing that the guy with crossed arms didn’t have the gun or al, jesse,holder,mac daddy and all liberals would be screaming about him being a racist and that there is a need to take guns away from white racist.
Okay I thought I was the only one that noticed that.
Red blooded, too.
He looked black to me. Great job, Dad! Giving those two punks the father wisdom they were so sorely lacking.
They have daily good news gun stories on that site?
Maybe not daily but it seems like several a week
This is on the Blaze? Glenn Beck must be furious. The man with the gun threatening violence and all.
The man who stopped this crime was extremely brave. First for confronting the criminals and knowing that when police pulled up they would put him on the ground as well. I’m glad he wasn’t shot and God bless him.
yup. My guess would be law enforcement. Perhaps drug or gang related, and didn’t want to be ID’ed on camera. He did the right thing, when the uniformed officers showed up and got on the ground, gun down, and away, too.
Precisely !
I don't care whether the left would classify him as black, white, or a white-Hispanic. He's 100% American in his actions, and I'd guess he classifies himself as American and not based on skin color. That's how I see him - the kind of American our country used to be proud of before we turned to communist community-organizing metrosexuals.
Did the perps get back their straw hats and rake? They have a barn to raise this weekend!
Thanks. I’ll have to check that out.
Police were just minutes away.
Do I need the tag?
Hehe :)
